X20 Pro Aero Wing Edition
The FrSky Tandem X20 Pro AW Aero Wing Edition is a premium ETHOS transmitter created specifically for demanding fixed-wing pilots. Its adjustable MC20R gimbals allow pilots to customize stick travel between approximately 45 and 60 degrees, making the radio especially attractive for precision aerobatics, giant-scale aircraft, sailplanes, EDF jets and turbine models.
The X20 Pro AW combines FrSky’s TW and TD dual-band 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz RF capabilities with additional antenna connectivity, extensive physical controls and a durable CNC-machined construction. It is designed for pilots who want the programming flexibility of ETHOS, advanced receiver options and a radio that can grow with complex aircraft.
Dual-side Haptic Gimbal Feedback
The gimbal vibration feedback function can be easily enabled or disabled by setting a switch. The dual-sided Gimbal's vibration feedback can operate independently, allowing the configuration to match distinct feedback preferences tailored to various application scenarios for RC enthusiasts.
Multi-position Flaps Slider (Left Lever) & Angle Adjustable Extended Slider (Right Lever)
Two different types of sliders are CNC-machined. The multi-position Flap Slider Lever on the left, when paired with ETHOS settings, assists pilots in determining the precise amount of flap deployment during different phases of flight. On the right, the Slider Lever emphasizes its installation flexibility, providing a broader range to meet varying pilot preferences for control comfort. More types of slider options like a Self-centering slider lever will be also provided for the specific application.
Self-Locking Switch & Metal Switch Caps
The AW version provides a 2-position self-locking switch, which can be used as a regular 2-position switch. However, its locking capability makes it particularly safe and reliable when used as a throttle or engine ignition switch. The remaining switches also come with anodized metal-colored switch caps (black & red), allowing pilots to match these caps of different lengths and colors based on the set functions for each switch.
Upgraded Robust Antenna Handle & External LoRa Antenna Connectors
The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing the tough conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is not only better suited for comfort gripping but also does not compromise the antenna's performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
The AW Edition is also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced long-range control.
