The term used to describe data that does not reach the receiver. Dual Link minimizes this possibility.

A PCM function which moves servos to a pre-programmed position if transmitter signal is lost or corrupted.

A component used to create a streamlined intersection between two or more other components or to cover a component to reduce drag.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. These systems usually transmit a narrow band signal and rapidly jump through a fixed set of frequencies, spending a few milliseconds on each freq...

A fast battery charger designed to work from a 12-volt power source, such as a car battery.

A loop that is terminated by a dive into the ground. This maneuver is entertaining for all pilots present except the one who performs the maneuver.

Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower tak...

A gradual increase in pitch angle to bleed off excess airspeed just before landing.

A special box used to hold and transport all equipment used at the flying field.

Flight Log is in reference to a screen that reports the signal and reception quality between your Spektrum Transmitter and telemetry capable receiver. This is reported to the user...

A function of your transmitter to change flight characteristics with the flip of a switch. This can be customized to control many aspects of flight, such as rates, control mixing a...

All of the radio equipment installed in the airplane, i.e., Receiver, Servos, Battery, Switch Harness.

A phenomenon whereby the elevator or aileron control surface begins to oscillate violently in flight. This can sometimes cause the surface to break away from the aircraft and cause...

Frequency Modulation. This describes the mode of transmission of radio signal from transmitter to receiver.

Spektrum technology that allows the configuration of Smart devices (receivers, etc.) wirelessly and directly from the transmitter. No separate computer or mobile device is needed f...

Although a 4-stroke engine has less power than a 2-stroke engine of comparable size, there are advantages to 4-stroke engines. They do not require a muffler and are often quieter t...

The simultaneous loss of information to both antennas in the aircraft system.

The time interval at which the servo data is updated on the receiver.

The specific channel or Radio Frequency spectrum that a radio broadcast on. In a traditional RC radio, the transmission crystal resonates when voltage is applied; the rate of this...

The FCC has allowed the 72MHz band to be used for R/C aircraft operations. This band is divided up into many different channels in which you can choose a radio system. You should b...

A frequency module plugs into the transmitter and enables you to change the channel number your radio broadcasts on.

The main body of the airplane.
