Introduction
The Pilot Gear Controller (PGC) is a fully integrated system that simplifies the setup of retractable landing gear,
gear doors, brakes, and ground steering for your Turbine or large-scale model. It also features adjustable brakes
and a built-in Gyro assist system for both steering and brakes.
Apart from the standard features, the PGC also features an integrated power system that can simplify your power
distribution as well. There are 3 individual BEC voltage outputs to power various systems within the PGC and also
has the ability to power external receivers and servos if you prefer a one-battery solution.
