Turnigy Evolution

Turnigy Evolution is a radio controller designed primarily for FPV multirotor pilots. It was one of the first gamepad-style controllers in the FPV market. It came out in October 2016.

The radio sports a large monochrome backlit LCD touch screen display, illuminated gimbals, two omnidirectional high gain antennas (built into the outer case), one potentiometer and two 3-position switches on the back. It also has a mini USB socket for updating, charging and connecting to a computer. There are both Mode 1 and Mode 2 versions, as well as either black or white shell colors.

Turnigy Evolution uses 8-channel 2.4 GHz AFHDS 2A spread spectrum radio link. It is compatible with the iA6, iA6B, iA6C, iA10B range of receivers.

The controller comes together with Turnigy TGY-iA6C receiver, capable of SBUS/IBUS/CPPM/PWM protocols.
