Real-Time Telemetry in the Palm of your Hand

In this exciting new release from Spektrum; STi (Spektrum Telemetry Interface) lets you transmit vital information from your model’s on-board Spektrum telemetry module to your iPhone, iPad or iTouch. It can also be programmed to alert you when any telemetry value you are monitoring exceeds limits you define. It’s a great way to let a flying buddy watch model functions for you so you can focus more on flying and less on your transmitter display.

The STi is compatible with all DSM2/DSMX Spektrum and JR transmitters as long as it's bound to a telemetry module.

  

Available to order from OMP today!

Introducing the Stryker F27Q from Parkzone!

Introducing the Stryker F-27Q from Parkzone!  This exciting new addition to Parkzone's lineup comes both Plug and Play and Bind-N-Fly for your convenience! 

The completely re-engineered F-27Q Stryker now comes with 4-channel control out of the box and delivers increased speed, precision, maneuverability and wider speed envelope.

Designed by world aerobatic champion Quique Somenzini, the F-27Q Stryker delivers a thrilling blend of speed and aerobatic precision that’s unlike anything else in its class. Its fiberglass-reinforced Z-Foam airframe has been designed to handle abrupt wing loading changes at high speeds. This, combined with its more powerful 480 brushless power system and twin rudders, gives you an extra dimension of aerobatic fun you won’t find with any other flight-ready flying wing. Flat spins, blenders, snaps, knife edge – the F-27Q does it all with the same smooth, predictable handing that’s made every Stryker a sport flying favorite.
