Futaba 6EXP Combo 2.4Ghz
Futaba 6EXP 2.4 Ghz Transmitter
• 4 x S3003 Servo’s
• R606FS 2.4 Ghz Receiver
• Mains Charger
• Transmitter Battery
• Receiver Pack
• Switch
The new 6EXP has been selected as Futaba's first 2.4GHz aircraft/helicopter system, and utilises the highly advanced FASST (Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology) system to give the
ultimate in performance and control. Allowing switch on and go operation, and with amazing interference rejection, this set will become the standard by which all others are measured.
With this set there will be no more waiting for a frequency to become clear, and fellow fliers cannot accidentally shoot you down by mistakenly switching their set on when it is on the same frequency as you, significantly increasing safety and allowing more flying time at popular flying sites. With the operating frequency changing every two milliseconds, the 2.4GHz FASST system is virtually invulnerable to interference, unlike other less advanced systems that operate on one or two
fixed frequencies.
Dual antenna diversity selects the best signal from the two receiver aerials, so there is a solid RF link, no matter what the attitude of the model.
The tiny R606FS receiver weights only 9.8g (7g without case), but is a full range receiver that works every bit as well in normal or giant scale models, allowing simple swaps between models. Unlike other systems, there is no separate aerial module that has to be installed, increasing weight and taking up more space.
Other features include Pre-Vision Packet Screening Technology that scans the incoming data, and applies sophisticated error correction techniques as well as the Easy Link system which incorporates a unique ID code in the transmitter, which, when linked with the R606FS receiver, ensures that only this particular receiver will accept commands from its `paired' transmitter.
General Features Include:
• 6 model memory
• Dual rates
• Exponential
• PPM/PCM operation
• Failsafe (PCM only)
• Servo reverse
• End point adjustment
• Trainer switch
• 4 x S3003 Servo’s
• R606FS 2.4 Ghz Receiver
• Mains Charger
• Transmitter Battery
• Receiver Pack

Standard Programming Functions :
• Model Select six model memory.
• Model Type select airplane or heli programming in one transmitter.
• Servo Reversing on all six channels.
• Dual Rate/Exponential for ailerons, elevator and rudder.
• End Point Adjustment fine-tunes servo throws on all six channels.
• Digital Trim stores trim settings for each model for aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle.
• Fail Safe a safety throttle setting in case of loss of transmitter signal.
• Battery Fail Safe moves the throttle to a preset position when the airborne pack reaches 3.8V.
• Stick Mode choose from Mode 1 through 4.
• Range Checking Power Down reduces transmitter output power for up to one minute, allowing range checking from 50 paces away.
• Changeable Throttle Stick select ratchet for airplanes or smooth for helis.
• Adjustable Stick Length choose the length that suits your flying style.
• Airplane-Specific Programming Functions:
• Wing Mixing for flaperon, flap trim, V-tail and elevon.
• Trainer System with the transmitter as either the master or student system. Compatible with other Futaba systems.
• Throttle Cut pre-programmed for safely shutting off the engine.
• Programmable Mixing (1 & 2) two different mixes allow any two channels to be combined.
• Helicopter-Specific Programming Functions:
• 5-Point Normal and Idle Up Throttle/Pitch Curves.
• Throttle Hold for autorotation.
• Revo (Revolution Mixing) mixes rudder and pitch together.
• Gyro Mixing two gyro gain settings can be programmed and selected during flight.
• Swash to Throttle Mixing corrects slowing of the engine’s speed caused by the swashplate.
• Swashplate Types choose from 1S (independent aileron, pitch and elevator servos linked to the swashplate), 3S (120° CCPM), or 3E (90° CCPM).

Futaba have long since been the dominant force in RC Radio systems.
One of the most attractive aspects of this radio system is the amount of product you get for your money. We use this radio system for our T-Rex 600 Nitro powered beginners helicopter packages for this exact reason.
This Futaba system transmits on a 2.4 GHz radio band rather than the traditional 35 MHz frequency which eliminates “Glitches”. Glitches are caused by interference to the radio system that can bring your helicopter down. This problem has long been associated with 35 MHz radio systems but virtually eradicated with the introduction of 2.4 GHz radio sets.
The RC Helicopter hobby is growing and has been for a number of years. One of the prohibitive factors in its growth is cost. Products like the 6EXP tackle this issue head on.
Please be aware the servos bundled with the 6EXP are not suitable for helicopters smaller than the T-Rex 600 as they are physically too big.
Whilst the servos are entry level they are adequate for those wanting to break in to the helicopter market and learn to fly a model that isn’t going to take a second and perhaps third job to pay for.
