Mikado VBar VControl Touch
Arrives in June - in different colours

Next generation of transmitters arrives in June by Mikado VBar VControl Touch. This is the future, Mikado promises. There are dozens of reason why it can be true. There's no doubt it is a revolutionary approach how to think about transmitters.

No, not the touch screen is the key point, this is just because concurent companies - like Futaba - installs touch screens for ages in higher category transmitters. The key is the integration ESC - flight control - transmitter all together. And much more.

By this transmitter you will no longer need to use tablet or laptop on the field to tweak your settings, adjust parameters, because everything you need is in your hand, sits in this transmitter. Many other tricky feachures are also integrated like real WiFi connection or the automatic power on function to keep the transmitter awake as long as the bound model is on.

Main design follows the previous VControl shapes, it has to be a comfortable, ideal transmitter. Yes, the price is high (really high), but considering the know-how integrated to this system it gets much cheaper in our minds. Just think of a good tablet computer. And basically you hold a tablet in your hands which is supposed to control a model aircraft, a helicopter apparently.

We could make it more sophisticated, but the feature list provided by Mikado is more than satisfying:
