Avios is a premium brand of radio-controlled flying models, specializing in high-quality scale and semi-scale aerobatic planes and gliders distributed by HobbyKing.
Avios offers a diverse lineup of high-performance radio-controlled (RC) aircraft, including scale models, aerobatic planes, sport gliders, and flying boats. Known for exceptional flight characteristics and high-quality foam construction, Avios models are popular among intermediate to advanced RC pilots.
Many of their airplane releases feature Plug-N-Fly (PNF) convenience, coming out of the box with pre-installed brushless motors, electronic speed controllers (like the Aerostar RVS series), and metal-geared servos. Avios RC models are distributed and supported primarily through HobbyKing, providing hobbyists with accessible replacement parts, detailed manual guidance, and comprehensive RC aviation support.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
You can find full assembly manuals on the HobbyKing website under the 'Manual/Files' tab on the specific Avios product page or by scanning the QR code included in your Quick Start Guide.
Avios PNF models typically come with the brushless motor, electronic speed controller (ESC), servos, and pushrods pre-installed from the factory. A compatible flight battery, a transmitter, and a receiver are required to complete the model.
For safety, first remove the propeller. Turn on your transmitter and place the throttle stick at the highest position. Connect the flight battery to the ESC, wait for two beeps, and quickly move the throttle to the lowest position.
Center of Gravity (CG) measurements vary by model. Usually, you support the plane inverted with your fingers underneath the top surface of the wing at the specific millimeter mark from the leading edge specified in your manual. Landing gear should generally be retracted during this test.
