Planet Transmitters & Receivers

This Entry-level 2.4Ghz Transmitter combo is an ideal radio for someone who is just getting into the RC hobby, whether it is airborne or surface modelling.
 
The layout of the radio is very tidy, with 2 very smooth acting stick gimbals; the throttle has a nice positive feel to it. The radio is Mode changeable and full instruction for this are in the manual. On the top of the radio, there is a small switch for ch5, which unusually operates at slow speed this is for the flyers who want to have a more scale retract speed, rather than going in at full speed. 
 
The On/Off switch is located in a central position, with the display for the voltage being located at the top of the facia. 4-AA Batteries supply power, when the voltage gets to around 4.6-4.4v, it will be time to come in and change the batteries.

Unlike most radios the Planet t5 comes with traditional slide trims. The servo reverse controls are located on the front of the unit behind a tinted flap and can be moved with a small screwdriver.
