Sparrow Fixed-Wing Flight Controller for RC Planes

An entry-level stabilising flight controller for fixed-wing RC planes, built so a first-time builder can wire it in minutes. Choose the controller on its own, or the combo that adds an M8N GPS module with compass for the position-based modes.

Key features

• One-plug wiring: a single connector carries five connections, so installation is one plug-in rather than a loom of separate leads.
• Airframe mixes: conventional tail, V-tail and delta/flying-wing models.
• Five flight modes, including Horizontal (self-levelling), Fence, Home and Manual.
• Compact board: 33 × 27 × 11 mm, easy to fit in foam trainers and small wings.
• GPS combo: adds an M8N GPS module with compass, which Home and Fence modes depend on for position.

Specifications

• Dimensions: 33 × 27 × 11 mm
• Airframes: conventional tail, V-tail, delta wing
• Flight modes: 5
• GPS (combo only): M8N with compass
• In the box: flight controller and screwdriver; the combo adds the GPS module

This is a dedicated plane stabiliser with its own firmware, not an INAV or ArduPilot board, so it suits pilots who want a self-levelling safety net on a first plane rather than waypoint missions. Pick the GPS combo if you want the model brought home automatically.
