This is the Futaba 8FG 2.4GHz FASST Radio System with R6008HS Receiver. This is the Mode 2, USA Standard helicopter version with Left Hand Throttle/Right Hand Elevator and will default to heli settings when powered up. The Futaba 8FGH 2.4GHz FASST Radio System, is the "much more for far less" system! It's priced hundreds of dollars less than the closest competition, making it a great buy. But it also offers features the competition doesn't, including some that have previously been found only on very high-end systems...as well as one that isn't available anywhere else. It could easily be the best 2.4GHz value on the market today, as well as the only radio you'll ever need.

Features:

  • A superb value for upper-level sport pilots as well as pilots breaking into competitive venues.
  • It's the first Futaba system with SensorTouch™ programming, a feature that puts the power to move through menus and complete setup in record time at your fingertips.
  • Includes a huge number of factory-defined mixes that help you program like a pro – and enjoy the best of the 8FG's potential.
  • Accepts 32MB to 2GB SD memory cards* – you can add as much...or as little...memory as you want.
  • Low latency and cutting-edge 2048 resolution combine for exceptionally fast, accurate Real-Time Response™.
  • Offers FASST trademark dependability with a single R6008FS receiver. No "satellite" or "specialty" receivers required.
  • The SensorTouch™ dial – and a wide range of factory-defined mixes – help you program like a pro. Like the "click wheel" on an iPod® device, the SensorTouch requires only a light touch, yet helps you navigate through menus (and make settings?) with unprecedented speed and ease!    
  • Separate swash type and swash detail menus help you fine-tune heli setups to performance perfection.
  • Trims set up with digital precision and accuracy. You can adjust by setting trim steps a specific value, or as a percentage of the total range – whichever suits your flying style best.    
  • The 8FG comes out of the box perfectly balanced for neckstrap support and fingertip control. A thin, narrow case makes it easier and more comfortable to grasp.
  • With the 8FG, how much memory you have is a matter of choice. 20-model memory is built-in, but the 8FG can accept SD memory cards from 32MB all the way up to 2GB. That's more than enough for virtually unlimited model setups and downloads of online software updates!    
  • The big backlit LCD offers contrast and brightness adjustments, normal/large timer display options and a user-settable auto-off feature for conserving power.
  • You can set a single gyro rate on the airplane menu, or as many as three. Changing the rate is as easy as touching a switch.    
  • On the heli menu, you can assign the gyro and governor functions to any switch or control – conveniences that are usually found only on high-end systems.
  • The glider menu offers four "virtual" channels for mixing setups, as well as the opportunity to set as many as five conditions per channel!
  • At just under a half-ounce, the R6008HS offers 2048 resolution, FASST dependability and lightning-fast response. In high-speed mode*, the R6008HS slashes the normal frame rate from 14 milliseconds to just 7 milliseconds, making it a perfect performance match for digital servos.
*SD memory card not included
