Key Features
Available in FM and PCM modulations
Failsafe system (on PCM only)
Programming for Aircraft and Helicopter
Five-year lithium battery
Big graphic display screen shows more information and is easier to
program
Overview
Let’s assume you’re the kind of straight-ahead sport flyer who feels like
the new 8 and 9-channel radios are just a bit too fancy for your tastes.
Not to mention the umpteen-channel pro-style radios, which are totally
out of the question. Well, have we got a radio for you. It’s got the solid 6-
channel simplicity and practicality you prefer. But this 6-channel’s
simplicity is combined with the kind of refinement and ease of
programming that—until now—has been reserved only for the “high-
end” rigs. Like, for openers, display graphics that convey more
information and are easier to understand.
Key Features
Flight modes (3 air, 5 sailplane, heli)
Fail Safe system
Modulation, SPCM or FM output
Gyro System (In-flight selection of 3 gains for up to 2 gyros)
6 Programmable mixers (2 Multi-point style)
Overview
A true breakthrough in versatility, the 9 channel, 30 model memory, 3
model type XP9303 will adapt to your RC needs at a level that’s
absolutely unprecedented. Fact is, while the 9303 is right at home
guiding the simplest of sport models, park flyers and gliders, its
capacity for more complex assignments – including meeting the
demands of a wide variety of competition disciplines – is virtually
unlimited. So if you’re still working your way up to the challenges and
thrills of large aerobatic models, multi-engine scale planes, 4 wing-
servo camber-changing sailplanes, the latest CCPM helicopters or
sport-level jets, the XP9303 will be ready when you are.
Key Features
Intuitive touch screen programming
Flight mode-warning alarm that warns if the flight mode switch has be
activated before the transmitter was turned on.
1100mAh transmitter battery standard
Great Looking, Durable aluminum carrying case.
Complete systems come with DataSafe® PC interface that allows
model memory to be stored on your PC.
Includes four (4) DS8611A Ultra Torque servos
Overview
The PCM 10X is JR's top-of-the-line radio system, engineered
expressly for pilots looking for the absolute best in radio control. This
radio features the most advanced hardware, and now software, in
the radio control industry.
Futaba 6EXAS 6-Channel FM/4 S3004 Servos
PPM/PCM switchable radio.
Standard programming features include all channel servo reversing,
End point adjustment (EPA) on all channels, dual rates, exponential
flaperon, V-tail, elevon, and wing type selection
Transmitter controls include Throttle Cut Switch-stops engine
when flipped twice within one second, Trainer Switch-controls link
between instructor and student transmitters, Retract Switch-
controls operation of retractable landing gear or other feature,
Dual Rate Switch-reduces servo travel and switches' exponential
curve
Flap dial control allows fine tuning of flap servo to slow airplane
when coming in for a landing
Adjustable flaperon rates
Adjustable stick length
Trainer box capable (trainer cord sold separately, see COMMENTS).
One year limited warranty
Double the resolution of PCM1024, the 14MZ's breakthrough
PCM G3
2048 enables servos to pick up even the slightest stick
movements.
It's the closest to actual real-time response possible, for
unprecedented speed and precision. The 14MZ is also
backwards-
compatible, so pilots can still use 1024PCM and PPM receivers
Large, Color Touch Screen
Only one company in the world could make the 14MZ display...it's
an engineering triumph in itself. The HGVA screen features
crystal clear 640x240 pixel resolution. It uses transflective
technology (layered transparent and reflective surfaces)
plus adjustable backlighting and contrast for easy visibility,
even in direct sunlight. Menu navigations and selections
can be made by touching the screen-or use the Dial-N-Key button
to scroll and select
Dual Internal Processors
The 14MZ takes advantage of two separate internal processors
for
maximum efficiency and reliability. A custom Futaba processor
expertly directs all functions dedicated to flight control. Input
for general operating tasks-such as set-up and programming-is
processed by Windows CE.
Pre-Programmed Mixes
Numerous aircraft configurations are already programmed
in-seven
wing types, four tail types and three motor types. Just select
the needed setup
Servo Grouping
Multiple servos controlling a single function can be set up
through the transmitter and then plugged into differently
adjustable receiver channels (even non-consecutively) without
needing a separate servo synchronizer for mixing.
Switch Customizing
The eight shoulder switches can be reconfigured to your own
preference-just pull out switch and plug in the preferred style,
tall or short, button or toggle, spring-loaded or positionable.
R5014DPS Receiver
By using state-of-the-art Ball Grid Array (BGA) layered PC board
technology, the 14MZ's R5014DPS 14-channel synthesized
receiver is
the world's smallest. All pilots will appreciate how easy its
WFSS (Wireless Frequency Setting System) makes changing
frequencies at busy airfields. It can be done right from the
transmitter without changing crystals.
Lithium-Ion Transmitter Battery
Even with the 14MZ transmitter's brilliant, full-color display,
fliers will enjoy 2-3 hours of operating time per charge from the
included 7.4V, 2200mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack
Compact Flash Card Data Storage & Transfer
Built-in 30-model memory, which can be expanded to 100 models
using the supplied Flash memory card. Upload digital images of
your aircraft for use as model names on the graphic menu. Create
and store audio files enabling you to fly to music or flight call
sequences.
The transmitter also includes a built-in mic for recording and
storing up to 24 voice prompts, such as "Landing gear down" and
"Full throttle!" These prompts can be assigned to specific
switches and functions so that audio confirmations of proper
stick movement are heard through the transmitter's speaker.
