FEATURES OF THE NEW FUTABA PROPORTIONAL
RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM
TRANSMITTER (FP—T6FN. FP—T5FN. FP—T4FN, FP—T3FN)
1. Since all Futaba New Proportional Models are designed and manufactured to identical standards, maximum
performance is displayed even when used with other receivers and servos.
2. Position of throttle control can be easily changed (to left or right).
3. Hook band permits hanging the transmitter from your neck for extremely easy handling.
4. Training system provided as standard makes training of beginners easy.
5. Equipped with a stand.
RECEIVER (FP—R6F. FP—R4F, FP—R3F)
1. Newly developed receiver use FUTABA CUSTOM 1C (IR-014, or BA-633) is extremely stable against power supply
voltage fluctuations.
2. Eight-bit CMOS 1C has complete 6-channel operation functions and reduces power consumption to a minimum.
3. Resistance against interference has been strengthened considerably through the adoption of a RF amplifier circuit
and ceramic filter.
SERVO (FP—S7. FP—S12. FP—S16. FP—S16L. FP—S17, and FP—S8, FP—S16G
[retractable landing gear servo])
1. Since the FP-S7, FP-S12, FP-S16, FP-S16L, FP-S17, and FP-S8, FP-S16G (retractable landing gear servo) are
designed and manufactured to the same standards, top performance is displayed when used with any NEW
FUTABA PROPORTIONAL transmitter and receiver.
2. Three-wire, compact, lightweight, rugged, high-output torque servoamps have been realized through the use of
Futaba BA-607 and BA-606 custom monolithic 1C.
3. The BA-607 monolithic 1C is a 12-pin single-end-line 1C containing 73 transistors, 13 diodes, and 79 resistors (total
of 165 components). Its low current drain, high resolution, temperature compensation and built-in voltage regulator
assure stable operation over the 4V— 6.6V power supply voltage range without any mutual interference between
servos. A
4. The BA-606 monolithic 1C is a 9-pin single-end-line 1C incorporating 2 high output current (500mA)
PNP
tran-
sistors, 2 NPN transistors, 4 diodes, and 4 resistors for a total of 12 components on a single chip.
5. High output torque: FP-S7; 3 kg-cm, FP-S12; 2.8kg-cm, FP-S16 (S16L); 2kg-cm, FP-S17; 2.6kg-cm, and FP-S8,
FP-S16G (retractable landing gear servo); 8kg -cm, 2.6kg -cm.
6. Compact, lightweight: FP-S7; 48g, FP-S12; 52g, FP-S16 (S16L); 41 g, FP-S17; 44g, and FP-S8; 50g, FP-S16G; 41g.
7. The 20mm (dia.) motor of the FP-S7 servo provides power torque. Thus making it ideal for
boat and automobile
use. Waterproof case also makes it perfect for use in both fresh water and salt water areas.
8. FP-S12 is a low cost servo and powerful torque of 2.8kg -cm or greater permits use not only in large buggies,
but also in Class 60 boats, etc.
9. The potentiometer drive section of the FP-S16 (S16L) is separately driven through a one-stage gear. The life of
the element is almost permanent.
10. FP-S17 is a lightweight, rugged, high output, and low cost servo.
11. The high gear ratio and powerful torque of the FP-S8 make it the perfect retractable landing gear servo.
12. FP-S16G is a highest class miniature landing gear servo.
