Superior Form, Superior Function
The Airtronics Aquila 6 is a super advanced 2.4Ghz digital proportional 6-channel radio system with a unique style. The Aquila features Airtronics' proven, rock-solid reliable 2.4Ghz FH1 frequency hopping transmission scheme. True frequency-hopping provides a superior signal to give you that locked-in feel. Plus, it's ready for any 1-6 channel aircraft or helicopter! From small micro electric aircraft to giant scale aerobatic planes, and from mini fixed-pitched helis to advanced CCPM 3D electric helicopters, the Aquila can handle it all with ease! The Aquila 6 is perfect for all skill levels, especially newer pilots just learning to fly. This system features a trainer system that is compatible with all Airtronics SD transmitters so you can get started flying safely. No matter what type of flying you prefer, the Aquila 6 is ready to give you superior control in the air.
No servos are included. Analog or Digital servos can be used. We recommend using Airtronics servos that are within the specification range required for your model. However, most modern servos will work perfectly with the Aquila 6.
