The NEW Spirit WAVE RC TX/RX system

We will have a VBAR challenger soon: this is the new SPIRIT WAVE system for RC airplanes and RC helicopters. We talk through features, capabilities, usability and all technical aspects with Adam De-Maine from Hely-Shop and HELI-SHED Mick.

This video was recorded during Helifest with very loud background noise - consequently the sound in this video is far from perfect. We are very sorry for that.

Don't forget to check out @HeliShed for more videos

As a longtime Spirit user with Jeti as the TX, I see RotorFlight and Radiomaster running express ELRS with LUA script integration as the biggest competitors in the future. They have different quality points, but the value of RF and the development speed are quite remarkable. Being open-source, I see, is a big advantage. Already, good flyers in OZ are dropping Vbar and going to RF. I hope Spirit does well with the radio, but it is going to be a tough market. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video Peter - thank you for the huge effort that is used to put this together - I think it showcases the Spirit system really well. Congrats to Tonci on a great interview and carrying me through! Finally, nice one Adam - you are indeed a valuable asset to Spirit in the UK by your knowledge of the system. Bravo all. !

Its the hard deck features out of everything that have me most on board with this ecosystem. I am a new to the hobby and went Radiomaster as my first TX with an S1 and S2. I just recently graduated to a Nexus/Rotoflight/ELRS system on an RS4 Venom. I like the horizon and aerobatic modes for roto flight as training tools and they have had immense confidence boosting for me to try some of the more extravagant moves.. But this hard deck for Spirit is really compelling when I go into the 500-700 class sizes. I see it as a protect on my investment with such large expensive craft.

Love it guys, can’t wait to get my paws on one.
I’m using a jeti ds12 with gtr’s at the moment & the best decision I ever made was to sell My Evo tx & vbar evo’s & buy into the Spirit system 👍

great info!! Recommend getting a camera gimbal to up the production value :)

How will the old spirit unit connect to the wave transmitter? Will it support telemetry and 30 channels with older units ?

For 1250 us dollars I don't see this going very well. I know some people are die hard spirit fans but mikado dominates the integrated market. I think they'd sell very well if they were priced around 600-700. Frsky or radiomaster is the way to go now. The rotorflight integration in frsky is great and for 80 dollars for the flight controller and 400-600 for the radio, why would you want this
