Welcome to the Aurora experience!
The Aurora 9 is Hitecs most sophisticated R/C transmitter and allows the user to choose between 72MHz FM,
Hitecs QPCM and our new Advanced Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum” AFHSS 2.4GHz signal technology.
Hitec developers worked hard to deliver the easiest to program, most flexible 9 channel radio ever made.
The Aurora will fly almost any airframe conceived, heli, glider, glow, gas or electric powered plane. Best of all,
the programming is very rational and follows an extraordinary logical path.
We sincerely encourage you to read at least the first couple sections of the manual, as they contain invaluable
information created to make your experience with the Aurora a pleasant one.
