Transmitter KAVAN V20 – Grey, 24-channel

KAVAN V20 is an advanced 24-channel RC set using a 2.4GHz simultaneous dual-frequency RF protocol with full telemetry support. It boasts a peak response time of up to 4 ms, with a range of up to tens of kilometres. You can choose ACCST D16 or ACCESS RF protocols too, also with telemetry. The V20 can therefore be paired with a wide range of KAVAN or FrSky receivers, telemetry or not, with classic PWM and S.BUS outputs.

V20 is suitable for both advanced and sport pilots. Excellent for controlling various aircraft models or heli/multicopters. You can also easily set it up for boats or land models, for example. To do this, use the wide range of functions and mixes available in the ETHOS™ operating system. You can conveniently adjust these to your preferences on the large colour touchscreen.

You have a pair of high-precision gimbals mounted on 10 ball bearings. This ensures perfectly smooth movement of the sticks in every direction. Their position is sensed by high-quality Hall sensors. Compared to potentiometers, they have higher sensitivity are not subject to mechanical wear and tear (most often around the centre position), and better withstand the effects of moisture and dust. The control is therefore more accurate and reliable.

For controlling other functions there are 6 three-position switches, 2 two-position (1 momentary) switches, 2 side rotary sliders, 6 user-programmable buttons (front) and two momentary buttons (rear). The built-in 6-axis gyro sensor can be set to control the throttle channel, control mix rates and is also used to wake up the display. The trim levers and knobs are all-metal, rigorously CNC-machined. The design of the controller layout and body ergonomics is the result of dozens of hours of testing and fine-tuning by the KAVAN team.

The transmitter body is sturdy and perfectly fits the hand. Rubberized grips on the sides and back of the transmitter provide a firm, comfortable and secure grip. From here you can reach all the controls without difficulty. The gimbals are located close to the edges of the transmitter. So you don’t even need a tray to hold the transmitter comfortably. For maximum ergonomics, long tuning sticks with switches can also be purchased. You can rotate the gimbals up to 8° and limit their range of travel to 45–60°. Of course, there is also the possibility of adjusting the strength of the self-centering springs and ratchet. To change the mode, select the desired mode in the settings menu, and in a few moments adjust the throttle stick ratcheting.

The V20 has memory for up to 64 models expandable via microSD card. In addition to displaying telemetry data on the screen, voice output and vibration feedback are also available. Audio can be transmitted wired with the 3.5mm Jack connector or wirelessly via Bluetooth®. Trainer mode is also available via trainer cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth®.

It is powered by a 2S LiPo battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, which can be charged directly via USB-C. The transmitter is equipped with a balancer (±50 mV) for 2S LiPo batteries, and charges with 2 A at 5 V.
