More Than Just a Gyro – A True Flight Controller

The Aura 5 Lite AFCS (Advanced Flight Control System) is more than just a gyro—it’s a full-featured flight controller. This means that all rates, expos, mixes, and other critical settings are handled through the Aura. On our SUPER PNP Models, we take the guesswork out of setup by providing a pre-programmed Aura 5 so you can focus on flying. From smooth and precise handling to aggressive aerobatics, every setting is optimized to deliver the best possible flight experience. We’ve done the hard part of tuning for you!

Getting started is simple. The Aura 5 Lite comes preloaded with a generic sport profile, so you can install it, connect your servos, and get in the air quickly. Using the two onboard buttons, you can easily reverse servos, test gyro response, and select your aircraft configuration—no computer required. For deeper customization, the free Aura Config Tool for Windows lets you unlock all of the advanced tuning and mixing capabilities.
