FT Aura 5 Lite – Big Capability in a Tiny Footprint
The FT Aura 5 Lite is your gateway to world-class Aura flight control. Developed in collaboration between Flex Innovations and Flite Test, this compact flight controller delivers smooth, confident stabilization while keeping your aircraft’s natural feel and personality intact. Whether you’re learning to fly or pushing your models to the next level, the Aura 5 Lite makes every flight more fun, precise, and predictable.
More Than a Gyro – A True Flight Controller
The Aura 5 Lite AFCS (Advanced Flight Control System) is not just a gyro—it’s a full-featured flight controller. It manages rates, expos, mixes, and all critical settings for your model. On our SUPER PNP Models, we take the guesswork out of setup by providing a pre-programmed Aura 5 Lite, so you can focus entirely on flying. From smooth sport handling to aggressive aerobatics, every parameter is optimized for the best possible flight experience.

Reverse servos
Test gyro response
Select aircraft configuration
No computer required. For advanced customization, the free Aura Config Tool for Windows unlocks full tuning and mixing capabilities.
Beginner-Friendly Confidence Modes
Learning to fly is safer and easier with Aura 5 Lite thanks to 6-axis stabilization modes that help build pilot confidence:
Level Assist – Keep your plane steady during learning
Launch Assist – Smooth, stable launches every time
