That is why responsible pilots and model maker choose weatronic ® 

Using 80 channels 

True Redundant R.F. Systems Offer 

Maximum Reliability And Performance 

Our transmitter modules and receivers* are operating with 

2 independent transmitting and receiving systems 

that are constantly scanning the band and updating 

their data for maximum radio reception. 

Our superior R.F. system offers maximum 

reliability, and maximum performance 

at the same time. You can rest assured, 

knowing that your WEATRONIC ® radio 

offers proven reliability and performance 

that will bring your model 

safely back to the runway. 

Your WEATRONIC ® system makes maximum use of the 80 channels allocated in the 2.4 GHz 

band. The more hopping frequencies you have available the safer and more reliable the link 

with your model. WEATRONIC ® systems scan the band at a rate of 100 times per second. 

The system then automatically chooses open channels offering you an unparallel solid RF 

link to your model. You will fly with confidence knowing that your WEATRONIC ® radio 

is on the lookout scanning the band and keeping your model safe. 

Automatic Data Recording More WEATRONIC ® Reliability 

All experienced pilots know that uneasy feeling: “Was it a wind gust or did 

I just get a glitch?” WEATRONIC ® sytems offer flight data recording on the 

modules SD card or conveniently in the Gizmo professional receiver. You can 

check the data and look for problems and eliminate or correct them before 

they cause an incident. If you feel that something was not quite right on 

that last flight check it out, and then fly with confidence. Automatic Data 

recording, one more reason you will be glad you fly WEATRONIC ® . 

Unequaled 

Programming 

Flexibility 

WEATRONIC ® is the innovator when 

it comes to maximum flexibility in radio 

setup and programming. We pioneered our 

“Giga control” for use with our module system. 

The Giga Control offers programming flexibility 

that is both easy and logical. You can literally 

program your model completely at home with the aid of 

your computer and its large screen. You will be amazed at our 

unequaled program flexibility allowing you maximum possibilities 

and freedom in your models program. This same user-friendly 

system is utilized in the Bat 60 transmitter, without requiring 

computer access. Once you try our system you will see how easy 

it is to achieve the program you need. 

Every weatronic ® receiver has full 

telemetry capabilities 

As a pilot, knowing flight information from your 

flying model is useful and offers more reliability. We 

offer a full range of optional in-flight data sensors 

that can be used with our systems. YOU determine 

which values, thresholds or other data you need in 

the cockpit. You can monitor your models’ airspeed, 

battery voltage, engine temperature, system signal 

strength, and with our variometer know the models 

altitude and climb rate.
