The mz-16 provides the pilot with a radio system where accuracy, control and reliability is fully integrated inside a high-tech carbon look and comfortable ergonomics transmitter.
You are in control
The mz-16 brings the same powerful features as our mz-32 radio introducing a new level of functionality where you, the user, can control almost any part of the radio. The mz-16 brings you the power to design your own screens, program your own control logic, filter your own voice notifications and even design the looks of your radio with removable colored face plates.
Fly smoother with the mz-16
The Graupner mz-16 provides 16 channel proportional functions and supports five different model types such as electric, gas or turbine airplanes, helicopters, multirotor, cars and even boats.
It can store and load up to 999 different user models, has 8 flight-phases and 12 curve mixers which can be set global or flight-phase dependent! The machined aluminum quad bearing gimbals provide the smoothest control feel a pilot can experience which can be comfortably adjusted the way you like from the back of the radio.
The mz-16 has a rock solid HoTT 2.4GHz RF system combined with a adjustable linear antenna for unmatched signal quality and extended range.
The mz-16 adapts to you
The outdoor friendly 4.3-inch state of the art TFT color touchscreen ensures convenient access to all the mz-16 functions for setting up and managing your models. The highly optimized and fast performing graphical user interface is driven by a high-performance processor making access to menus and functions fast and crisp just like on your Smartphone. The intuitive touch and tap control make navigation around the menus fast, easy and fun!
The mz-16 is not only fast and responsive but is also fast to load. You will be using your mz-16 from power up in no time!
Designing your own screen layouts to display information or create menu shortcuts can be done on the fly by simply tapping on the screen. The mz-16 provides over hundred widgets which make up the screens that you like and fit your style for controlling your models. You can create in total six screens that better fit your needs and personal style using the tip of your finger. No programming needed! You can do it all with the mz-16!
One radio for all! English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish language is supported with more languages to come all in one radio!
16 proportional channels and 16 digital switches
With 16 channels the mz-16 provides unlimited functionality and control over any model that you have. You can bind two 2.4GHz receivers so you can layout and distribute the channels the way you want.
For example, you can have one receiver that controls all your wing servos such as ailerons, flaps, landing gear, and lights. Just supply main power to the wing, and you are ready to go. No complicated wiring or expensive hubs needed! This provides you with a level of simplicity with the benefits of additional RF redundancy for extra peace of mind.
Still need more channels but do not have enough switches to do what you want? The mz-16 also provides up to 16 digital switches that can be assigned and controlled with a single tap from the widget menu. Create as many digital switch combinations as you like for turning lights and smoke on or off, turn cranes or water guns or anything else that you need to control without using up your switches.
Switching and control options are further enhanced with Logical Switches (And, Or, Equal, Not), Control Switches, Sensor Switches and Combination Switches. Each provides a new level of control to you depending on switch position, stick location or telemetry data.
Voices you want to hear
Need to hear what is going on? The mz-16 provides endless options to generate almost any type of system or telemetry voice notification depending on the state of your radio such as switch positions, flight phase names, warnings, vario information and endless others.
The mz-16 starts communicating with you from the moment you turn it on, informing you if a switch or control is in the wrong position for the selected model. No more surprises from collapsing landing gear, runaway motors or wrong gyro settings. The mz-16 can inform you when needed even when you forgot to bring down your landing gear or are about to run out of range or battery.
Walks of shame are now a thing of the past!
With over 600 installed voices and unlimited voice combinations, you can make almost any voice announcements or add as many as you want using our text to speech editor.

ext-sensitive answers right on the screen. Just tap the question mark and you will be instantly presented with help and assistance.
