DIGITAL PROPORTIONAL
RADIO CONTROL
D60399
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba digital proportional radio control set.
Please read this manual carefully before using your set.
FEATURES OF FP-6NLK/5NLK
The FP-6NLK and FP-5NLK are 6 channel (6NLK) and 5
channel (5NLK) FM proportional radio control set with a
ergonomic case created as a result of the exhaustive pursuit
of easier operation, newly designed sticks tor smooth and
positive operation, servo reversing switch for each channel,
and other innovations based on the opinions and needs of
many RC modelers.
Please read this manual before using your new set.
TRANSMITTER FP-T6NLK/T5NLK
• Reliability substantially improved by using industrial robots
to assemble the PC board.
• Servo reversing switch for each channel. Servos are reversed
by using this switch.
• Newly designed open gimbal sticks operate smoothly and
positively.

• Excellent radiation efficiency, strong 8-stage telescoping
antenna.
• Neck strap bracket provided as standard. Operation is easier
if the transmitter is hung from your neck by using the
optional neck strap.

• Large capacitor copes with voltage changes when a battery is
used.
• Vibration-resistant pin connectors.
• Fiberglass epoxy PC board with thru-the-hole plating is vibration and shock resistant.
SERVO FP-S138
SMALL, RUGGED, HIGH NEUTRAL LOW PROFILE SERVO
• Height is 0.2 in (5.2mm) lower than existing servos of its
type.
• New indirect drive potentiometer improves vibration
shock resistance and neutral accuracy.
• Futaba low-power custom 1C provides extremely high
torque, narrow dead band, and superior tracking.
• Fiberglass reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate)
injection molded servo case is mechanically strong and
invulnerable to glow fuel.
• Strong polyacetal resin ultra-precision servo gear features
smooth operation, positive neutral, and very little backlash.
• Fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin PC board with thru-the-
hole plating improves servo amp vibration and shock resistance.
•Three pin connector eliminates faulty contact and improves
reliability against vibration and
insertion prevention mechanism.
•Special grommet simplifies mounting of the servo and has
an excellent cushioning effect.
• Six special adjustable splined
• Since the output torque is 34.75oz-in (2.5kg.cm) and operating speed is 0.23sec/6CT, it can be used with almost all
models.

RECEIVER FP-R107N
• Compact, high performance FM 7-channel receiver with PC
board space reduced to a minimum.
•Special IF amp for radio communications improves the
effective receiving range stability.
•Narrow band ceramic filter improves rejection of adjacent
channel interference.

Aileron dual rate switch
Aileron dual rate ON-OFF switch. When set to the upper
position, dual rate is turned on, and when set to the lower
position, dual rate is turned off.
Aileron dual rate trimmer
This trimmer sets the aileron travel when the aileron dual
rate switch is set to on. When the dual rate switch is set to
ON, the servo throw can be set to an arbitrary angle smaller than when the dual rate switch is OFF (normal) as
shown in the figure. Use the throw matched to the aircraft
and the maneuvers to be performed.

When the dual rate switch is ON, the servo
throw can be adjusted within this range with the dual rate trimmer.
