The Turnigy TWIN X14 is an exclusive HobbyKing offering, featuring a unique colour that sets it apart in the market. This robust radio system comes preloaded with HobbyKing planes, ensuring a seamless experience straight out of the box. It also boasts the capability of utilizing dual 2.4GHz frequencies simultaneously on the same receiver when using the TW mode. This is different from standard active-standby redundancy solutions, as the TW active protocol ensures that both 2.4GHz frequency bands are actively being used by the internal RF module and the receiver simultaneously.

Equipped with two internal 2.4G RF antennas, the TWIN X14 offers expansive multi-directional coverage for transmitting signals. These attributes, along with the exterior antenna, provide higher reliability, less latency, and faster data rates. In addition to the TW mode, the TWIN X14 also supports ACCST D16 and ACCESS modes, meaning users can benefit from a wide range of compatible receiver options.

• Hobbyking planes come preloaded on the radio
• Exclusive Model to Hobbyking

Yeah, same version is sold by Kavan in the EU. The X14 is the slowest seller for FrSky as most people jump up to the touch screen radios (I always keep them in stock as it is their cheapest option). Kavan also has a version of the X20. It pisses off the EU Dealers to a great level as they have done a lot of work to Support the Frsky brand and development on lt to see FrSky side step them and sell to Kavan. At least with Hobby Queen, they have been selling FrSky since day one, so FrSky has some loyalty for the early days.
 
I wonder about the sale numbers of those Kavan and Turnigy branded FrSky (OEM) radio's. I would always prefer the original brand as changes might have been made in the OEM models which might cause issues with supported firmware versions in the long run.
