It's the new look in a low-cost, entry-level radio!
Whether you're just starting out, or are a sport pilot looking for the best for less in 4-channel control, the 4YF SkySport fills the bill. Even with its surprisingly low price, this radio is packed with features, in a sleek, slim case. And when you compare its convenience and performance to the competition, you'll discover that the 4YF is the best value in a quality system.
- A dual-conversion, R127DF narrow-band FM receiver filters out more interference, for more precision and control.
- All-channel servo reversing provides more installation options.
- The power and servo reversing switches are located down and out of the way for convenience, and to avoid accidental changes.
- Full Tx and Rx NiCds -- made from genuine Sanyo® cells -- can be recharged simultaneously with the included 50A overnight AC charger.
- The battery meter features green and red LED for instant "go/no-go" status.
The trainer switch is a toggle switch that's easier on the finger, and spring-loaded for instant "off."

A more high-tech micro pin replaces the standard jack, and is located in the middle of the back panel to distribute cord weight more evenly and prevent the cord from interfering with the controls.

More programming ease than you'd expect. For less money than you'd imagine.
With the 6EXA, the only thing more impressive than the value of all the features it offers is the ease of making use of any one.
Computer speed and accuracy top the list, followed closely by 6-model memory, 241-position digital trims, preset wing mixes, a user-programmable mix, dual rates, exponential, ball bearing servos and Futaba's most user-friendly programming yet.
Simple "go-with-the-flow" routines use a big, bright 40-segment LCD to show the shortest and most direct route to each feature. Combine that with two buttons and a data input lever, and the 6EXA becomes a way to accomplish the formerly impossible -- a way to lock precise set-ups in multi-model memory with digital accuracy and utter simplicity.

9CA/CH Computer Systems
The next step up in 9-channel programming ease
Features • Programming • Factory-Set Assignments
More value for the dollar — more possibilities for the pilot!
Most pilots never thought they'd need everything a 9-channel PCM can do. Now, they'll find it hard to believe the 9Cs can do so much. Possibilities:
- For all: Use Futaba's unique Auxiliary Channel Screen to reassign control of any auxiliary channel function to a new switch, slider or knob — in a single step. Takes only seconds — and can also be used to eliminate an auxiliary function, and free up a channel for a custom mix.
- For all: Fly with dual dates as usual — or enjoy triple rates simply by assigning the function to a 3-position switch.
- For heli: Program a separate: 1) level of gyro sensitivity; 2) governor speed, and; 3) rate of servo travel for up to 4* conditions — and watch as the 9C automatically selects the right level/speed/rate when you change condition.
* 5 conditions on gyro sensitivity.

9Z WC2 9-Channel Radio Systems
The world's most advanced radio systems.
Futaba's 9-channel radios represent the absolute finest in radio control -- and the 9Z WC2 systems offer even more flexibility, precision and convenience. They can be customized to the "nth" degree, with Futaba's legendary level of sophistication, flexibility and adjustability. Want to fly aircraft, sailplanes AND helicopters? Futaba's 9Z WC2 says 'no problem'! Both radio packages, A and H, include all the exact same software to allow you to fly any and every type of model you can think of, including powered aircraft, 5 helicopter swashplate types and 3 sailplane types! The H version offers the heli-focused pilot ratchet-less throttle and a more heli-friendly switch layout, as well as removal of the snap-roll-direction switches.
And for the ultimate in convenience, there are synthesized versions of both radios (9ZAS and 9ZHS) that allow you to fly on any 72MHz frequency -- without changing modules. If you're ready to move up to the top of the line, Futaba's 9Z Series WC2 radios are waiting for you.
The 9Z has always lead the industry in innovation and flexibility. Has the WC2 maintained this tradition? Absolutely. The WC2 takes the legendary flexibility and performance of the 9Z series to a whole new level with an accelerated frame rate around center for unequalled response time.
|
Sticks on the 9Z Series WC2 radios are beveled on top to provide a more sensitive surface for precision control. |
Switches A, B, C, D, and G now offer a 3rd positiion, allowing you even more locations to assign the WC2's myriad of fully programmable features; for example, using a flight condition to create triple rates on a single switch. |
|
All tall switches feature a stronger base, which gives you a more positive feel when you move the switch. |
The 1500mAh receiver battery and 1100mAh transmitter battery that come with 9Z WC2 radios provide longer flying time and handle the additional power requirements of digital servos |

R309DPS PCM Rx w/synthesizer |

9C Super
More of what you buy a 9C for!
More than any other radio, the 9C Super addresses the particular needs of glider pilots, with significant upgrades that make it the finest sailplane system you can buy. And with more memory, more functions AND more flexibility for controlling all types of R/C aircraft the 9C Super is the complete radio package for the advanced aeromodeler!
18 Model Memory
- Memory has been expanded to 12 models, and the 16K CAMPac module that's included adds another six models — bringing the total up to 18.
A three-function timer, all on one screen
- Can be utilized as an up timer or down timer to keep track of total flying time (hours/minutes) for a particular model — and can be programmed to any of the switches, the power switch or the throttle stick.
One transmitter for all three modes
- The 9C Super offers you the functions and programs for airplanes, helis and gliders — all in one convenient controller.
Enhancements to all three modes!
Glider Mode
- In addition to the Basic offset trim, the 9C Super offers three other offsets (launch, thermal and speed), with camber that can be customized for each.
- The four camber mixes can be set up on one screen and programmed to any of the variable dials.
- Besides setup ease, the glider mode boasts much more built-in flexibility.
- A new G2F-C mix has been added to the G1FLP and G2FLP mixes.
Airplane Mode
- The gyro system can be set up for 2-rate (up/down) or 3-rate (up/center/down) with the GYA gyros. It can also be programmed to any switch for normal or AVCS modes.
- The Air Brake is now switch-selectable.
- Both the Airplane and Glider Modes feature 7 programmable mixes: 5 linear mixes and two 5-point curves.
Heli Mode
- 5-point Throttle Curve and Pitch Curve now feature a delay that makes for a smoother transition from hover to idle-up and better control.
- The throttle hold and idle-up can be assigned to any switch that feels more comfortable for the pilot.
- Hi/Low Pitch can be utilized to adjust the curves on the high side and low side for each flight condition.
- Choose from six heli mixes: SWH1, SWH2, SR3, SN3, SWH4 and the new SWH3, along with two linear circuits and one 5-point curve.
Now also available with a synthesized transmitter module and receiver!
