The  FALCON  product  line  represents  advanced  speed  controllers  for  use  exclusively  in  RC  airplane  models. 

With  integrated  telemetry  and  various  possibilities  of  optional  user  configuration,  the  controllers  offer  high 

efficiency,  low  weight  and  precise  motor  control.  The  integrated  high-power  BEC,  offering  15Amps  of 

continuous current, is suitable even for the most demanding applications. The full power of the BEC is available 

at any battery voltage within the controller specification (6-51V).
