Flytron SimpleOSD XL edition

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

The Flytron Simple OSD XL from Flytron is the advanced version of the Simple OSD Ultralight Edition. This OSD has a more powerful CPU and offers significantly more features.

The manufacturer describes this with a succinct sentence: „Flying like a bird without OSD scraps on the screen“.

  • 1x Current sensor 50A
  • 1x USB program adapter

FY-20A RC Stabilization System

Monday, August 9th, 2010

There are already various flight stabilization systems for model airplanes on the market. Now, because of their small size, weight and handling, they are more suitable and affordable for FPV. The new FY-20A (basic) and the FY-21AP (with Return Home feature) are excellent examples of such systems. These systems have no sensors outside the model and perform in every weather condition as well as in complete darkness.
The FPV shop www.fpvflying.com has provided us with the basic version, the FY-20A.
