Fly more planes with the radio you like best: YOUR OWN.
This is the news you’ve been waiting to hear. Now you can choose from a wide
selection of Tx-R™ planes: exciting, factory-built aircraft that offer ready-to-fl y
simplicity — without having to buy radios that you don’t need or want.
Tx-R provides that freedom and savings because the technology is compatible
with nearly any transmitter you already own, regardless of its band, modulation or
manufacturer — including Futaba®, Spektrum®, Hitec®, JR® and more.
Each Tx-R model comes with preinstalled servos and an AnyLink-compatible 2.4GHz
SLT™ receiver. AnyLink is a tiny electronic converter
that enables your transmitter to send secure signals to
the SLT receiver. With AnyLink, you can fl y any and all
Tx-R aircraft using that same transmitter.
When you consider the convenience and fl exibility of
AnyLink, along with the variety of Tx-R models, you’ll
want to get more than just one!
Look for this logo — it’s your assurance that
you’re getting a Transmitter-Ready™ model!
