With the Hawk 18, Graupner presents a powerful 9-channel receiver featuring an integrated 3-axis gyro and particularly vibration-resistant 3-axis accelerometer, diversity antennas, variometer, and mode for fixed-wing models or rescue mode and orientation mode for helicopters.
With the GRAUPNER HoTT 2.4GHz technology, the receiver has a secure hopping telemetry transmission RF section with high-quality components and state-of-the-art software. The receiver transmits parameters such as “receiver voltage,” “receiver temperature,” “signal strength,” “altitude,” and “height difference (variometer)” to the transmitter without additional sensors. It is also possible to transmit and display the Euler angles on the transmitter.
The antenna amplifier, together with the antenna diversity, ensures an enormous range. The faster 32-bit L4 processor guarantees energy-efficient operation, and the higher performance ensures that the Hawk 18 can also be used as a flybarless system for helicopters and as a flight controller for multirotors. Of course, the integrated Hawk gyro system can also be perfectly utilized for fixed-wing models. There are 4 different gyro modes: OFF, normal stabilization, heading lock, rate mode, and orientation mode. The rate mode allows for knife-edge flying and torque turns without control corrections when set correctly. Extremely fast, easy, and comfortably adjustable via the HoTT transmitter telemetry menu.
Just like its namesake, the falcon, the Hawk 18 embodies determination, power, and precision. Go hunting for the perfect flight with the Hawk.
