The brand new line of Elite Falcon Opto & SBEC ESCs target mainly professionals and pilots looking for uncompromising precision and quality. The Elite Falcon ESCs combine new revolutionary design, system upgradability, almost unlimited flexibility with state of the art telemetry capabilities.
The Falcon product line represents advanced speed controllers for exclusive use in airplanes, drones, sailplanes or any kind of radio control application. With integrated telemetry and various possibilities of optional user configuration, the controllers offer high efficiency, low weight and precise motor control. The telemetry system in the Elite Falcon ESC lets you monitor in real time the Amperage (Amp), Voltage (V), and Capacity (mAh) consumed from the battery, ESC even calculates Power (W) output of the system.
Specifications and Features
– Supported Protocol: Spektrum SRXL2
– Over and under-voltage protection, overtemperature protection, motor-stall protection
– True High Power switching BEC 15A Continuous/30A 2s Burst
– Fully integrated receiver battery backup with LiPo or LiFe preselect

The Falcon product line represents advanced speed controllers for exclusive use in airplanes, drones, sailplanes or any kind of radio control application.

The telemetry system in the Elite Falcon ESC lets you monitor in real time the Amperage (Amp), Voltage (V), and Capacity (mAh) consumed from the battery, ESC even calculates Power (W) output of the system. You can also measure the ESC Temperature and add external Motor Temperature and Propeller Positioning sensors. We have created a more robust hardware platform including increased cooling capability, smaller overall packaging, and selectable sensitivity to allow you to use any brushless motor that you choose. No matter which size you choose, the Elite Falcon series brushless speed controllers are right for your next project.
The USB programmability allows you to update the ESC to the latest firmware right from home using Jeti or Elite USB Adapter and your PC with MAV Manager. Fine tuning of your power system has never been easier.

Active Freewheeling (Active Motor Breaking)
Brand new feature of the speed controller that reduces heat generated by the ESC during partial load operation. This mode is useful for 3D extreme and F3A precision aerobatic pilots who want not only fast acceleration, but also rapid deceleration. The motor follows throttle stick input in both ways and the pilot feels more completely in control.
Current Limiter (Active Power Monitoring)
The current limiter is a part of safety controller features. It does not stop the motor but rather continuously monitors the immediate current consumption and adjusts the motor power. You can enable this feature, specify the maximum allowed current and the ESC will reduce the motor power immediately as soon as the current threshold is exceeded. After the current returns back to the safe level, the motor power is restored.
Propeller Positioning (Hall Effect Magnetic Sensor)
The positioning feature allows moving the motor/propeller to the exact position required for safe landing, or which is just comfortable for further flying. With just a few external components (Hall-sensor and a small magnet) you can enable this feature and prevent the risk of damaging your propeller during landing or (Scale Sailplane) motor pod/folding prop retraction. The magnet needs to be properly fixed to the rotating part (either motor or the propeller), and the Hall-sensor has to be located in the fuselage, so that the magnet matches the Hall-sensor at the target propeller position. After enabling the positioning feature in the menu, set also the positioning PWM, so that the motor spins slowly but smoothly.
Awesome New Build! TM Discus 2c Deluxe Scale Sailplane!
Get Yours Here!
Originally built in 2004 by Schempp-Hirth, the Discus 2c was produced to replace the previously successful Discus sailplane in the Standard Racing Class. A completely new wing has been designed in close cooperation with Dr. Karl-Heinz Horstmann (wing geometry, profile) and Professor Mark Maughmer (new type of winglet). To date, around 500 of the full-scale gliders have been produced. The fiberglass fuselage is finished flawlessly in white gel-coat. Both the rudder and horizontal stabilizer with elevator are fully hollow molded. The canopy is pre-hinged in a fiberglass frame and comes complete with a scale-like latch and vent. The cockpit is complete with instrument dashboard and fiberglass seat, just like the actual plane. Retractable landing gear with working doors is also installed. A tow release is installed in the nose. The wing and fuselage both have pre-installed wiring harnesses that also include multi-pin connectors for fast, trouble-free setup at the field. The wing is finished beautifully and ready for your aileron and spoiler servos. The only “building” left to do on the wing is to attach the fully molded winglets. The foam core obecchi sheeted wings are easily removed for transportation yet are securely held in place with Topmodel’s ingenious retention system. The spoilers are quite effective and make landing in smaller spaces very possible. While flying, the Discus 2c is predictable and shows no bad habits. The intermediate pilot will have no trouble at all. Whether you aero tow or fly from the slope, the Discus 2c is a good choice.
Special Features:
– Control surfaces: Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder and Spoilers
– White gel-coated, pre-painted fiberglass fuselage and tail parts
– Pre-installed retractable landing gear with working doors, tail wheel and tow hook
– Foam-core, obecchi-sheeted two-piece wing with fiberglass reinforcement
– Removable hollow molded stabilizer for easy storage and transportation
– UltraCote-covered wings with pre-installed servo wiring
– Scale cockpit frame with canopy latch and dashboard
– Hollow molded wingtips
– Includes all necessary hardware
– Decals applied, ready for final assembly

We Are Done, Scale Full Composite Windex 1200C is Alive & Well!!!
The Windex 1200C is a powered sailplane for amateurs construction build by WINDEXAIR AB. Windex 1200c is primarily a high-performance sailplane, but its unique concept with a low-drag fin-mounted engine installation and a variable-pitch propeller turns it also into an efficient touring aircraft with a cruising speed of 210km/h (130 mph). In addition to this the airframe of Windex 1200C is designed for aerobatic routine. The model is very well reproduced and belongs into the super scale class, with its outstanding cockpit interior, beautiful gel-coated finish and excellent flying characteristics. Flying is just amazing due to the acceptable wing loading, it thermals well without any bad behavior and smooth and predictable handling.
With its fiberglass fuselage and carbon fiber reinforced, hollow molded wings the WinDex can handle full day of soaring as well as complete aerobatic routine. The careful use of composites creates a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time.
