The engineers at Turnigy have come
up with another winner, the Turnigy Evolution. Designed with the FPV
Drone flier squarely in mind, the Evolution features a striking new look
and is amazingly compact. Its small size makes it very backpack
friendly and the neat cover for the front of the controller keeps the
face and gimbals safe during transportation.
The Evolution uses the solid and
reliable 8 channel 2.4GHz Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System
(AFHDS 2A) spread spectrum technology, making it compatible with the
iA6, iA6B, iA6C, i10 & i10B range of receivers. The system is
supplied with the Turnigy TGY-iA6C Receiver for SBUS/IBUS and CPPM/PWM
support. Twin omnidirectional high gain antennas are built into the
outer case to provide an even more secure radio link and to protect them
from damage.
The ergonomically designed case makes
for easy use of all controls. The switches and pots are all positioned
for comfort and the adjustable length sticks can be tailored to your own
requirements. Speaking of sticks, the high quality, ball bearing
gimbals are clear and have color changing, programmable LEDs that can
change color with the use of the sticks. There is a pop-up potentiometer
that could be used for camera gimbal control. Two 3-position switches
on the back can easily be set-up to change the flight modes. A large
monochrome backlit LCD Touch screen makes it easy to program and change
the settings in both daylight and night-time. Five model memories make
it easy when swapping from one model to next by simply selecting the
appropriate model memory (assuming that you've bound the next receiver
to the particular model memory first!)
Each transmitter and receiver has its
own unique ID to prevent other RC systems from accidentally connecting
to or interfering with the Evolution.
Each transmitter hops between
16 channels in order to reduce interference from other transmitters.
There is even a mini USB port for easy charging via a power bank (power
pack) or phone charger / USB charger / PC. This can also be used for
updates (via PC) or to use the Evolution transmitter as a controller for
your favorite RC simulator programs.
