Compatibility

RC-N1 and RC-N3 share none of the catalog airframes. RC-N1 flies Mini 2, Mini 4K, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Air 2, Air 2S, Mavic 3. RC-N3 flies Neo, Neo 2, Flip, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S. RC-N1: O2/O3. A beautiful RC-N1 does not become an RC-N2. RC-N3: O4. Protocol still has to match the airframe — N3 is not a universal O4 stick.
