About
Dual RC exists to move small payloads through the air efficiently. Founded by Nathan Eick after research and testing of twin-engine electric aircraft, Dual RC offers market-leading endurance and payload from hand-launched electric aircraft. We focus on performance, quality, and reliability while keeping our aircraft affordable and safe.
Based in the heart of the Midwest, Waterloo Iowa is Dual RC’s home as a family-owned small business. The flexibility of a small business to meet every customer’s needs is imperative when many new uses for UAS are being explored today. As a commercial pilot and mechanical engineer, Nathan is the lead designer of the ready-to-fly systems that offer significant advantages over the competition.
Today’s market is changing in many ways, and the technological developments in hardware and software are outstanding. Most of our products are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), leaving you with flexibility and options should anything happen to us or your aircraft. If tested and set up properly, these products also offer very high performance for a very reasonable cost. Take a look at our products and customization options, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
