Radio - JR & Spektrum DSM > JR R921 TX difference

Up until the last week or so the JR R921 RX's have come with the red case.
Now I have noticed the R921's are coming with a black case and the LED's for the remote rx are incorperated into the main rx case and in the remote.
So what is the difference other than the color and LED location of these new RX's ?

I have ask Horizon Support the same question and they said no

Horizon support told me today that the red case R921 is made by Spektrum and the black case R921 is made by JR.
Sounds like bull to me as I believe Specktum and JR equipment are both made in the same plant. But this is typical for Horizon tech support.
Being consistant with info is not there strong suit.

Wrong on that one.....

JR is made in Japan, Spektrum is either Malaysia or Taiwan (China).

Yes, I have found that to be true as well. Not always, but a lot of the time.

My belief is that they are switching all the cases to black to unify the brand and make things consistent from this point forward. The R1221 for the 12X is black, as are the satellite receivers as is the new JR branded Flight Log.

IS the Flight Logger being JR branded ??? Thought that was a Spektrum item ?

Up until now it has been. However, a few months ago, before the JR direct support forum was shut down on RCU, Danny mentioned that JR would be releasing their own. I can't find that specific post at the moment. I'll keep searching and post back when I do find it...

It is my understanding that the Spektrum flight logger will work with the new JR R921.
