Title: futaba 8 channel
Post by: funtimefrankie on August 25, 2007, 07:56:22 am

I have a Futaba 6 channel transmitter, 40mhz FM, which came with a eight channel rec. Over the years I've bought extra rec for different boats to save swapping equipment about. (all on 40.695).
Are there any eight channel transmitters about, I don't think I've seen one, Is suppose there are 'cos there would be no point in an 8 channel rec?
anyone got one for sale?

The Robbe-Futaba f-14 and FC-16 and the FX range of transmitters are probably the most popular boating Tx's arround, all are 8CH and can be fitted out with switch, sliders and such.

Would they work to my 8 channel rx, (assuming the frequncies are right ;))

Yes they should work with all Futaba 40MHZ Rx's, In fact my FC-16 has worked with every RX I have thrown at it, 2-8 ch's Futaba, Robbe, Sanwa, Hitec, Schultze, Hyperion, Jeti etc...
