The Falcon product line represents
advanced speed controllers for exclusive use in airplanes, drones, sailplanes or any kind of radio control
application. With integrated telemetry and various possibilities of optional user configuration, the controllers
offer high efficiency, low weight and precise motor control. The telemetry system in the Elite Falcon ESC lets
you monitor in real time the
Amperage (Amp), Voltage (V), and Capacity (mAh) consumed from the battery,
ESC even calculates
Power (W) output of the system. You can also measure the ESC Temperature and add
external
Motor Temperature and
Propeller Positioning sensors. The Elite Falcon line of Brushless
ESCs adds another revolutionary feature utilizing
Backup Battery Integration.We have created a more
robust hardware platform including increased cooling capability, smaller overall packaging, and selectable
sensitivity to allow you to use any brushless motor that you choose. No matter which size you choose, the Elite
Falcon series brushless speed controllers are right for your next project.
If using with Jeti
R3/RSW Receiver Wireless Switch you have to change setting of the ESC from "Hall" to "Electronic" in the ESC
Common Setting menu.Specifications and Features- Supported Protocols: Jeti EX, Graupner, Futaba, FrSky, PowerBox P2-Bus, Spektrum SRXL2 (w/Update)
- Motor reverse feature available for

The USB programmability allows you to update the ESC to the latest firmware right from
home using Jeti or Elite USB Adapter and your PC with MAV Manager. Fine tuning of your power system has
never been easier.More information (links):

Propeller Positioning (Hall Effect Magnetic
Sensor)The positioning feature allows moving the motor/propeller to the exact position required
for safe landing, or which is just comfortable for further flying. With just a few external components
(Hall-sensor and a small magnet) you can enable this feature and prevent the risk of damaging your propeller
during landing or (Scale Sailplane) motor pod/folding prop retraction. The magnet needs to be properly fixed to
the rotating part (either motor or the propeller), and the Hall-sensor has to be located in the fuselage, so
that the magnet matches the Hall-sensor at the target propeller position. After enabling the positioning feature
in the menu, set also the positioning PWM, so that the motor spins slowly but smoothly.
Active Freewheeling (Active Motor
Braking)Brand new feature of the speed controller that reduces heat generated by the ESC during
partial load operation. This mode is useful for 3D extreme and F3A precision aerobatic pilots who want not only
fast acceleration, but also rapid deceleration. The motor follows throttle stick input in both ways and the
pilot feels more completely in control.
Current Limiter (Active Power Monitoring)The
current limiter is a part of safety controller features. It does not stop the motor but rather continuously
monitors the immediate current consumption and adjusts the motor power. You can enable this feature, specify the
maximum allowed current and the ESC will reduce the motor power immediately as soon as the current threshold is
exceeded. After the current returns back to the safe level, the motor power is restored.
Receiver
Backup Battery (Buffer Battery Integration)In case you need a small buffer battery for covering
voltage spikes of your RC system, you can specify type of the battery in the Common Setting Backup Battery Menu.
After setting up the battery type it is necessary to remove all power supplies from the controller and reset the
ESC.
