4YF


4YF SkySportIt'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.

Trainer Switch

The trainer switch is a toggle switch that's easier on the finger, and spring-loaded for instant "off."

  micro pin

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.

6EXA

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.

  • 6-model memory with reset
  • 241-position digital trims on throttle, rudder, elevator and aileron
  • Dual rates and exponential on aileron and elevator

Futaba 9CAF Radio

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

9Z WC2 9-Channel RadioThe 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.

9C Super

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!

  • 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.

Microsoft® Windows® Powered
Futaba Cusom Processor
Tech NoticeDual Internal Processors
The 14MZ takes advantage of two separate internal processors for maximum efficiency and reliability. A custom Futaba processor expertly directs all functions dedicated to flight control. Input for general operating tasks — such as set-up and programming — is processed by Windows CE.
PCM G3 2048

Real-Time Response
Real-Time Response

Double the resolution of PCM 1024, the 14MZ's breakthrough PCM G3 2048 enables servos to pick up even the slightest stick movements. It's enhanced by a frame rate that's 40% faster than Futaba's 9Z — much more data transmits in a much shorter time. The result? Real-Time Response...response so good, it feels like it's happening in real time!
Note: The 14MZ can also transmit in 1024 PCM and FM/PPM.

Full-Color Touch Screen


Transflective Technology

Only one company in the world could make the 14MZ display...it's an engineering triumph in itself. The HVGA screen features crystal-clear 640x240 pixel resolution. It uses transflective technology (layered transparent and reflecting surfaces) plus adjustable backlighting and contrast for easy visibility, even in direct sunlight. Navigate through menus and make selections by touching the screen — or use the Dial-N-Key button to scroll and select.
