FlySky ST16 remote control for model ships & RC boats

Highest precision and modern radio technology for model shipbuilding

The FlySky ST16 is a modern 16-channel remote control with AFHDS-3/ANT technology, developed for maximum precision, interference-free transmission and high flexibility. The ST16 really comes into its own in model shipbuilding, where stable signals over water, sensitive control and numerous functions are crucial. The dual antenna technology, combined with high-resolution 4096-step signal processing, ensures an extremely reliable radio link – even under the difficult conditions of reflective water surfaces.

Optimal control for complex RC ships and functional models

With its 16 fully proportional channels, the ST16 is ideal for RC boats of all types and sizes. Whether twin engines, bow thrusters, light control, cranes, towing winches, sound modules or camera systems – the ST16 enables precise, sensitive and absolutely reliable control. Even very complex scale ships can be easily equipped with several special functions without the transmitter reaching its limits.

Large IPS touch display for perfect usability on the water

The bright 3.5-inch IPS colour display of the ST16 impresses with its excellent readability, even in direct sunlight on the water. The intuitive touchscreen menu navigation allows quick adjustments to channels, mixers, curves or switch assignments – directly on the shore or even during use. This eliminates the need for tedious presetting on a PC, and spontaneous changes can be made at any time.

Telemetry for maximum safety on the water

In conjunction with compatible AFHDS-3/ANT receivers, the ST16 transmits important telemetry data in real time. The model builder immediately recognises when battery voltage, temperature or current values reach critical levels. This is particularly important in model boat building in order to prevent overload, overheating or imminent shutdowns at an early stage. Optional sensors such as humidity sensors even warn of water ingress.

Convenient model management for multiple model boats

The ST16 offers comprehensive model management, allowing multiple boats to be stored and managed separately. Each boat is assigned its own profile with individual channel assignment, mixers and telemetry settings. This is a huge advantage for model builders with multiple RC models or club operations.

Ergonomic design for precise control and long periods of use

Thanks to its ergonomic housing and a weight of around 665 grams, the FlySky ST16 fits securely and comfortably in the hand. This makes it easy to handle longer driving sessions, as is common with scale ships. The robust construction, USB-C port for charging and firmware updates, and high-quality feel make the ST16 a durable and modern control device.
