FAQ

Is the Futaba 6K an 8-channel or 6-channel radio? The Futaba 6K supports up to eight control channels through compatible S.BUS equipment. The included R3006SB receiver provides six conventional PWM outputs, so additional compatible S.BUS equipment is needed to use the extra channels.

What does Mode 2 mean on the Futaba 6K? Mode 2 places the throttle and rudder controls on the left stick, with elevator and aileron controls on the right stick. This is a common aircraft transmitter configuration used in Australia.

Can the Futaba 6K use S-FHSS receivers? Yes. The Futaba 6K can be switched from T-FHSS Air to S-FHSS for compatible receivers. Telemetry functions are unavailable in S-FHSS mode. The included R3006SB receiver requires T-FHSS Air operation.

Does the Futaba 6K include everything needed to fly an RC aeroplane? No. The package provides the transmitter, receiver and listed radio accessories. Compatible servos, a receiver power supply or ESC with suitable BEC, flight battery and other aircraft equipment may be required depending on the model.

Important Notes

• The included R3006SB receiver uses Futaba T-FHSS Air. It is not compatible with T-FHSS Surface, FASST, FASSTest or other unsupported radio systems.
• Eight-channel operation requires suitable S.BUS equipment. Six conventional PWM receiver channels are available without S.BUS expansion.
• Only connect compatible S.BUS2 devices and telemetry sensors to the receiver's S.BUS2 port. Standard S.BUS servos and gyros must not be connected directly to the S.BUS2 telemetry port.
• Use a suitable rechargeable receiver battery or regulated power supply. Do not power the receiver directly using ordinary dry-cell batteries.
• Check the receiver power supply and connected servo voltage ratings before installation.
• Optional telemetry sensors, aircraft servos, flight batteries, charger and aircraft are not included.
• Transmitter battery and charger inclusion varies between retailer bundles. Confirm the accessories supplied with this specific package before purchasing.
• Always perform receiver binding, control direction checks, failsafe setup and a radio range check before flight.
