A classic hobby radio, reimagined with more controls and can be paired with a micro receiver sized for small FPV builds.
The original FS-i6 tops out at six channels, which runs short on bigger builds. The Nova has 12 physical controls that you can assign across 10 output channels.
Its ground range is over 500 m without RF interference, and it supports two-way communication. The transmitter works with any AFHDS 2A receiver, including the FS-X14S, FS-iA4B and FS-iA8X.
Power it with 4 × AA batteries (or rechargeable Eneloops) or a 2S lithium pack through the DuPont or JST power connectors. The radio has no built-in charging, so charge 2S packs externally.
The right control for each function - three-position switches, latching and momentary push buttons, and full-range rotary knobs, all at 1024-step resolution.
Practise before you fly - the USB-C port connects to mainstream simulators including Liftoff, TRYP FPV, DRL, FPV Freerider and Uncrashed, and also handles firmware updates and power.
Teach a new pilot safely - wired trainer mode through the 3.5 mm DSC port, or wireless trainer mode with the FS-WTM01 module (sold separately).
Interference-resistant link - 135 hopping frequencies on the 2.4 GHz band.
Reliable signal - built-in dual antennas, a PCB antenna plus a copper-tube antenna.
Know before the battery is flat - a built-in low-voltage alarm warns you before power runs out.
Grab and go - an integrated carry handle makes it easy to take to the field.
Watch your video feed - accepts an optional smartphone mount (sold separately) for monitoring a live video feed.
