    Question:
    I notice that there are many brands and types of R/C Radios. Are they compatible with eachother? Can I use X Radio with Y Machine?

    Answer:
    Most newer multirotors come with a matched radio and drone - so you don't have to worry about exactly how they are communicating. However, those doing DIY or hacking need to know about the various radio protocols. There are quite a few of them and they are, in general NOT compatible with each other.
    Here is a thread on RCG which explains most of them:
