(25 products)

Air Radios are purpose built transmitters for controlling RC planes, RC helicopter or RC drones. These are generally 6 or more channels are programmable to assist with setting up your model. 

We carry air radios from Spektrum, Futaba, Radio Master & Flysky. 

 

Remote controls for RC aircraft, also known as transmitters or radios, are essential tools for controlling the flight of remote-controlled airplanes, helicopters, drones, and other aerial vehicles. These transmitters come in various types and offer a range of features to suit different preferences and skill levels. Here's an overview of key considerations when choosing an RC aircraft remote:

  1. Number of Channels: RC remotes come with different numbers of channels, which correspond to the number of functions you can control on your aircraft. Basic remotes typically have fewer channels, allowing control over essential functions like throttle, elevator, rudder, and ailerons. Advanced remotes may have more channels for controlling additional features like flaps, retractable landing gear, camera gimbals, or lights.

  2. Frequency: RC remotes operate on specific radio frequencies, typically in the 2.4GHz band. This frequency range provides reliable control with minimal interference, allowing multiple pilots to fly simultaneously without signal conflicts.

  3. Mode: RC remotes are available in different modes, with Mode 2 being the most common for aircraft. In Mode 2, the throttle and rudder controls are on the left stick, while the elevator and aileron controls are on the right stick. However, some pilots may prefer other modes based on their preferences or prior experience.

  4. Features: Look for additional features that may enhance your flying experience, such as adjustable trim settings, dual rates, expo (exponential) settings for control sensitivity, programmable mixing functions, and telemetry capabilities for monitoring aircraft performance and battery voltage in real-time.

  5. Compatibility: Ensure that the remote control you choose is compatible with your specific RC aircraft and receiver system. Some remotes may be compatible with a wide range of receivers and aircraft types, while others are designed for use with specific brands or systems.

When selecting an RC aircraft remote, consider your skill level, flying preferences, and budget to choose the transmitter that best suits your needs. Investing in a quality remote control can greatly enhance your enjoyment and control over your RC aircraft.
