PA-2 Pilot Assist Link Auto Pilot System

PA-1 photo

Stacks the odds against a crash!

A sudden wind gust or a momentary loss of orientation sends your model reeling. Time to panic? Not if your plane is equipped with Futaba's PA-2 Pilot Assist Link. Just release your transmitter sticks to regain straight and level flight.

Lighter, lower priced and less complicated than gyros, the revolutionary PA-2 acts as a horizontal stabilizer - if your plane strays from level, it "rights" the model automatically. You may never crash again!

How can the PA2 help me maximize the value of PCM and fail-safe?

Have a 4 channel radio? You can still adjust the unit on the ground!

Installs in minutes

  • Requires almost no modifications - just one discreet 10 mm hole in the fuselage bottom for sensor mounting.

  • Draws only 5 mAh from your 4.8V receiver NiCd...no additional battery needed!

Works automatically

  • Releasing the transmitter sticks allows the PA-2 to take control.

  • Optical sensors read the difference between light (sky) and dark (horizon), then automatically adjust pitch and roll to stabilize the plane.

  • Moving the transmitter sticks puts you back in the "pilot's seat."

  • Adjusts to be as sensitive as you like.

  • Setting can be changed during flight using a 5-channel radio - anywhere from 0% (take no action) to 100% (for maximum stability).

  • "Maximum" is perfect for trainer pilots - does not replace a flying instructor, but DOES boost your confidence at the controls.

  • With a 4-channel radio, the PA-2 sensitivity can be adjusted on the unit.
