Immerse yourself in a product so revolutionary that it has the potential to change the
way 2.4GHz systems are designed. Combining the Futaba legacy with an 18-channel
system is probably more than enough to make long-time fliers want to buy one. However,
the 18MZ also offers the latest and best chapter in Futaba’s 2.4GHz developments: new
FASSTest (Expanded System Telemetry) technology, whilst also being able to operate
on FASST and S-FHSS transmission systems (Including the forthcoming Ripmax Futaba
Transmitter Ready)models).
Powered by a 7.4V, 3500mAh Li-Po transmitter battery, the 18MZ is the first true
18-channel Futaba radio system ever. It comes with an R7000SB telemetry enabled
receiver, a high-voltage design that operates up to 8 channels using the 8 standard
PWM outputs or up to 18 channels (16 proportional + 2 digital) through the 18MZ’s two
S-Bus2 ports. That means a simpler setup and full support for S-Bus and S-Bus2 servos.
As supplied the R7008SB receiver includes integral sensors for receiver voltage, signal
strength and external voltage, with further separate sensors due to be available soon.
Slide a card in the inbuilt SD slot and you have ample capacity for unlimited updates,
model memories and sound/picture files. The 18MZ also has a built-in 0.3M megapixel
camera eliminating the need for a digital camera or mobile phone. The transmitter
includes a big, brilliant and backlit 6” touch screen with 640x240 resolution which
provides sparkling clarity on remarkably little power.
The in-built S-Bus programming system allows the 18MZ to be used whilst setting up a
model with S-Bus servos thus simplifying setups.
The functions outlined here are just the tip of the iceberg - making the Futaba 18MZ a
must have for any serious pilot!
P-CB8J/L 8ch Combo 2.4GHz M2 R2008SB ................................... £279.99
P-CB8J/R 8ch Combo 2.4GHz M1 R2008SB ................................... £279.99
Due for release in Spring 2012, the new Futaba 8J is the perfect radio for
the keen pilot, and for those moving up from a 4 or 6 channel system. Easy
to programme using the jog dial and input keys, the 8J comes packed with
advanced mixing and control functionality, the software being intuitive
and easy to navigate making programming a pleasure. With no less than
20 model memories and 10 character user and model names, the 8J
offers great flexibility, an example being the auxiliary channels switch/
VR operator selection option. Supplied complete with rechargeable
transmitter battery and charger, the combo package also includes the
new full range R2008SB receiver, which is S-Bus enabled as well as
offering 8 conventional outputs, of course the existing R2006GS and
micro R2106GF receivers can also be used with the 8J transmitter.
