Transmitters and Receivers
RC transmitters and receivers are the link between you and your model. At The Flite Lab we focus on reliable 2.4GHz radio systems that are easy to use, easy to bind and well supported locally. Whether you are learning on a basic 4 channel trainer or flying a fleet of park flyers, gliders and foam board builds, a good radio set gives you precise, predictable control on every flight.
Our range covers simple 4 channel radios for trainers, park flyers, slope soarers and bait boats, as well as full featured computer radios with extra channels, model memory, mixing and telemetry support. This lets you start with an affordable entry level radio and then grow into more advanced features as your flying and your models progress.
Receivers in this category are matched to the transmitters we sell so binding is straightforward and documentation is clear. All of the radio gear we stock is tested and supported locally, and we ship orders quickly with easy delivery anywhere in South Africa.

Air Transmitters
RC air transmitters are radios used to control model aircraft like planes, helicopters, and gliders, giving you smooth, reliable control and the channels you need for functions such as flaps, retracts, gyro systems, and flight modes, depending on your setup. Choose an air radio based on receiver and protocol compatibility, channel count, gimbal feel, switch layout, model memory, and features like telemetry, expo, dual rates, mixes, and failsafe support, so your aircraft responds predictably and safely in the air.

Car Transmitters
RC car transmitters are handheld radios made for surface vehicles like RC cars, trucks, buggies, drift cars, and crawlers, helping you steer accurately and control throttle smoothly across bashing, racing, and crawling. Pick a car radio based on receiver and protocol compatibility, channel count, range, and tuning options like endpoints, dual rate, expo, sub trim, ABS braking, and failsafe support, with extra channels useful for crawler accessories such as winches, lights, and two speed gearboxes.
