Ronald Volker talks FlySky

We have followed Ronald Volker’s career for quite some time, first meeting him in person at the conclusion of the inaugural ETS season at Andernach, Germany, in 2008 when he raced for Hot Bodies and pushed Atsushi Hara the win.  Over the years we have tried to get the 2016 World Champion to ‘put pen to paper’ and give Red RC an insight into his racing.  While we kind of missed the boat at a time when Ronald was just a driver, during his Yokomo days he literally did no work on the cars, now his duties are far wider.  Not just racing for Mugen Seiki and being his own mechanic but also managing the Japanese manufacturer’s touring car race team.  A long time Sanwa user, Ronald would be one of the first major touring car drivers to join FlySky as a sponsored driver and with the Chinese manufacturer just after unveiling their new premium Noble Mix transmitter at Hobby Expo China, he has sent us this first attempt at a column in which he gives his experience with the radio since making the switch.  Take it away Ronald –  ‘Since joining Flysky and running the Noble Pro Series of Radios for around 2.5 years, I am still amazed of the quality and functions.  I visited Flysky and its office in late 2023 and could witness their dedication and motivation to become better and better and to be clearly seen as the top radio manufacturer.  Most importantly, I’ve had zero failures or issues wherever I used it in the World.  Everything is just simple and easy to use and manage – and there is even more to explore, the more you are willing to spend time with for.

FlySky unveils new flagship ‘Noble Mix’ transmitter at Hobby Expo China

FlySky today used the opening day of the 24th Hobby Expo China in Beijing to give its brand new flagship ‘Noble Mix’ transmitter its first public showing and highlighting further the ambitions of the Chinese manufacturer to further establish itself as a high end brand.  A completely new radio that will be offered as an addition to their current range topping Noble Pro +, on initial handling of the Mix it immediately feels premium and hefty in the hand.  FlySky look to emphasis that high end status through the use of a wooden insert in the handle that in our opinion works surprisingly well but is also sure to spawn a whole line of aftermarket alternatives.  While the full technical details of the radio, which will use both 2.4GHz AFHDS3 and 2.4Ghz Antelope, will be announced soon, one nice physical feature of the Mix is the adjustable trigger position that can with two adjuster screws be moved left or right and back or forward for the perfect throttle finger positioning.  Switching the steering wheel from the left side or right side the motion is fluid and the screen is tiltable to which ever side you use or can just be left flat.  While FlySky don’t have a firm date for release for the radio, they expect it will be later in the year.
