About the Air Radio System

Advanced Ergonomic Grip Design

The Paladin PL18 Ultra features a fully optimized ergonomic grip that enhances comfort and stability during extended use. Its sloped shoulder profile and refined contact surfaces are shaped to match natural hand positions, ensuring a secure one-handed grip. Fine-tuned button heights, VRC knob placement, and tactile differentiation allow confident operation by touch alone, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy. The foldable multi-angle handle further enhances portability while maintaining balance.

Innovative Control Feedback & Hardware Refinement

Every control input on the PL18 Ultra is engineered for clarity and responsiveness. The rear scroll wheel supports grip-press operation with precise tactile feedback, while individually tuned KR and KL buttons feature distinct textures for intuitive identification. Customized toggle switch silicone sleeves provide smoother, more stable control inputs, and the standard center-of-gravity adjustment buckle allows pilots to tailor balance for different holding styles.

FlySky OS & High-Resolution Touch Interface

Powered by FlySky OS and developed in close cooperation with the EdgeTX open-source team, the PL18 Ultra delivers a smooth, modern user experience. The 2.4-inch IPS touch display offers crisp visuals and responsive touch buttons for fast adjustments.
