Questions
Will an RC-N2 fly a Mini 5 Pro?
No. RC-N2 is filed here for Mini 4 Pro and Air 3. Mini 5 Pro is RC-N3 (phone clamp) or RC 2 (screen). Same O4 family name does not mean the stick is on the aircraft’s list. Check firmware on the RC you actually hold.
Is RC-N3 a drop-in for RC-N2?
No. They share no catalog airframes. RC-N3 flies Neo, Neo 2, Flip, Mini 5 Pro and Air 3S. RC-N2 flies Mini 4 Pro and Air 3. A used RC-N2 does not become an RC-N3.
Which drones do both RC-N2 and RC-N3 fly?
None in this catalog. RC-N2 flies Mini 4 Pro, Air 3. RC-N3 flies Neo, Neo 2, Flip, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S. A matching OcuSync generation is not enough.
