Note: Hobbyking exclusive version includes both FTr10 AND FTr16s Receivers! Other retailers only include the FTr10, but sell at the same price as us.


The FLYSKY Paladin PL18 Remote Control Radio is designed for precision flying. It was engineered to be intuitive with a powerful touch screen setup. The Paladin comes with 18 channels and AFHDS 3 protocol. There are six model types to choose from Airplane, Helicopter, Glider, Delta Wing, Multicopter, and Engineering Vehicles making for a truly versatile Radio. The package also comes with two receivers, the FTr10 and FTr16s.

 

AFHDS 3 is a third-generation RF technology that was developed by FLYSKY with the PL18 in mind. It is designed to have low latency (5ms), a stable protocol for use at longer ranges (up to 3.6km), even in the presence of interference. The PL18 is designed to be compatible with many detachable RF modules to make the Paladin extremely flexible. There are dual omnidirectional antennas to ensure you have the best, stable signal even at longer ranges.

 

Setup is simple with an easy to understand touch screen interface combined with FLYSKYOS. The screen is a 320x480 capacitive color touch screen. There are multiple switches (rotary, slide, 2-position and 3-position) that you can configure just the way you want and with 18 channels you should be able to set up any configuration you need.

 

The Paladin comes with adjustable, high-precision Hall gimbals that can be easily set up for the four different modes of operation. Plus, you can choose between self-return or non-self returning sticks. Both gimbals have adjustable spring tension, as well as adjustment for dampening and max/min movement angle.
This remote control radio will give you all the precision you need for extreme flying.
