Details

Get started quickly with an ergonomic, handle-style controller built for simple FPV flying and simulator practice.

Key features focus on easy setup, flexible switches, and training-friendly connectivity options.

Built-in ELRS 2.4GHz transmission and an integrated antenna keep the setup clean and beginner-friendly.

Powered by two 18650 cells for long sessions; batteries are purchased separately.

Expand the radio with an external NANO TX module; the internal TX powers off after connection.

Quick procedures support binding, power adjustment, and stick calibration without relying on a screen.

Optional wireless dongle enables simulator use without a USB data cable, while keeping a 3.5mm trainer port available.

Bluetooth 4.2 handle mode adds another convenient way to connect for practice and setup.

Compatible with popular FPV simulators like Liftoff and DRL for steady skill-building at home.

Support for dongle use and receiver hot-swap makes switching between setups and simulators more convenient.

Wireless ELRS firmware upgrades help keep both the controller and dongle up to date with less hassle.

Reference specifications cover ELRS performance, channels, ports, power requirements, and overall dimensions.

Optional dongle specs summarize interface type, supported rate, upgrade methods, and physical size.
