Know which pack is dying before it takes your plane with it.

Battery Guardian measures internal resistance on every cell in your pack through the balance lead, and keeps the history so you can watch a pack age instead of guessing.

In the photo: a 4S pack whose average reads a healthy 8 milliohms. Cell 4 is reading more than double cell 3. The average hides it. The per-cell reading does not.

Seven years of one design, twelve times over

Established in 2018, Flying Tiger RC has built RC transmitter trays for over seven years. Twelve versions later, every tray is still hand-assembled and inspected before it ships.

Production uses laser cutting, computerized hydraulic brakes and tumblers, so every edge is smooth and every part is the same as the last one. The frame is precision-cut 5052 H32 aluminum. The hand pads are soft neoprene.

Whether you fly IMAC, Sport, 3D or Scale, the tray carries the weight so your hands do not have to. If you deal with a hand or arm injury, an unsteady grip, Parkinson's, tremors or arthritis, it is designed to keep you flying.

Before you buy

Will this fit my transmitter?

The Flying Tiger RC Transmitter Tray fits radios up to 8 in wide with the hand pads, including Spektrum, Futaba, RadioMaster, FrSky, FlySky, and more. With the pads off there is no width limit. If you have a less common transmitter, reach out and we'll make sure the tray fits!

How fast do products get shipped?

All orders will be shipped within 48 hours of the time of purchase, given the post office is open!

What are the dimensions of the tray?

The tray is 11.6 in long, 9.9 in wide and 2.7 in tall with the tilt arms folded, 6.6 in with them up.

Will the aluminum tray interfere with my transmitter's signal?

Our aluminum trays are field-tested with Spektrum, Futaba, FlySky, and other mainstream radios. There have been no reports of RF interference or signal loss from tray use, including models with fixed antennas like the DX9. The lightweight aluminum frame is positioned below and behind the radio, minimizing possible RF reflection.

Does the aluminum tray affect my radio's antenna?

We've had no reports of RF interference or signal loss from tray use, including radios with fixed antennas like the DX9. The lightweight aluminum frame sits below and behind the radio, minimizing possible RF reflection.

Can I keep using 'thumbs' if I don't switch to 'pinch' grip?

Absolutely, the tray is designed for both "thumb" and "pinch" flyers. Hand pads can be adjusted for support in either grip style, ensuring comfort and control no matter how you fly. You can even leave the hand pads off if you'd like!
