I've long been eager to build one of Eficker's fantastic QX7 pistol radios. His work can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2552696. However, I couldn't find a Qx7 at a price I was willing to pay. When the X9 Lite hit the market with its smaller size and lower cost, I thought it would make an ideal starting point. You can buy the X9 lite for $70 brand new and connect it to full-size modules. The telemetry and configuration options are truly remarkable. You will need to solder! The X9 lite RF board won't fit without removing the daughter board from the new module. Unfortunately, I damaged mine in the process and had to repair it with jumpers. You'll also need to make extensions for the trim rockers. Other components you'll require: 3mm screws. Almost all screws are 3mm. Most are 6 to 8 mm long, while four of them are 12mm. The top of the radio is held in place by four black ~2mm screws from inside the X9. I split this part into two pieces to create a smooth surface for adhering the X9 screen cover. An extension for the RF board is also needed. These cables can be purchased on Amazon. It's crucial to note that no screws should be installed in the top and left trim tab's top and left sides to avoid shorting the mainboard. Enjoy!
