The brand new line of Elite Falcon Opto ESCs (Throttle Optically Isolated) target mainly professionals
and pilots looking for uncompromising precision and quality. The Elite Falcon ESCs combine new revolutionary
design, system upgradability, almost unlimited flexibility with state of the art telemetry capabilities.
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. 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.
Specifications and Features
- Supported Protocols: Jeti EX, Graupner, Futaba, FrSky, PowerBox P2-Bus, Spektrum SRXL2 (w/Update)
- Motor reverse feature available for RC systems using bus protocol (Jeti/EX Bus, SRXL2, S.Bus2)
- Over and under-voltage protection, over temperature protection, motor-stall protection
- Real-time telemetry data stream and min/max value data logging

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.
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.
