INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the next generation of ground control system (GCS) technology. Designed and manufactured in Scottsdale,
Arizona. We are honored you decided to make the 12PCX HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) a key system in your
overall operations of unmanned vehicles. At Desert Rotor we strive for our products to be high quality, highly compatible
and cost e
ff
ective. Our 12PCX HOTAS platform was designed to last. All components are highly accessible and easily
upgradable to future technological developments.
We designed the 12PCX HOTAS to be able operate most aircraft types and autopilot systems. We achieved this by
designing the Desert Rotor GCS Smart View™ interface. Within this interface you can assign functions and channels to
the various joysticks, buttons, switches and dials. The interface also allows you to save aircraft/autopilot settings and easily
switch to other aircraft profiles. There are infinite possibilities and configurations within the 12PCX HOTAS.
A key message we would like to deliver is the fact that flying unmanned aerial vehicles can be extremely dangerous and can
lead to criminal prosecution, destruction of property, injury, death of yourself and many others. It is your responsibility
that you check your country and regions regulations when operating the 12PCX HOTAS and all devices you are using. The
use and operations of the 12PCX HOTAS can be prohibited or even illegal in many countries and regions. It is entirely you
and your companies responsibility to check those laws and regulations.
The Desert Rotor team wish you a safe and prosperous future with the next generation of UAV flight control and
operations.
