NEW: Futaba Releases Product Info For Radio System

6-channel 2.4GHz Computer Radio System

Blazing Speed. Red-hot Value

In S-FHSS mode, the 6J’s frame rate is just 6.8ms, a response speed unmatched by any other 6-channel flight system. But the 6J isn’t just about speed; it’s also one of the best values you’ll find anywhere.

It’s an easy and natural step up from a 4-channel system. And if you already own a 6-channel, it’s a solid investment with a range of high-end features that goes far beyond what you’d expect. Start with 15-model memory. Throttle and pitch curves for airplanes as well as helis. Electronic swash ring for helis, as well as four swashplate options.

And with the blazing speed, absolute affordability and unequaled value, the 6J also offers the rock-solid security and dependability of Futaba FHSS technology.

The R2006GS auto-adapts to the transmission mode selected, whether it’s FHSS or high-speed S-FHSS mode. And since it operates on a wide range of voltage, you don’t need a regulator even if you use a 2S, 7.4V LiPo pack as a power source.

There’s more to the Futaba 6J than a 6.8ms frame rate and blazing response speed. It’s also a red-hot value that offers a surprisingly wide range of features. One of the first is the ability to scroll forward and backward through menus — a big time-saver when you’re programming. Others include a generous 15-model memory, throttle and pitch curves for airplanes as well as helis and electronic swash ring and four swashplate options for heli pilots. What’s more, most mixing functions can be assigned to the switch you prefer, a bigger LCD shows more information at a glance and there’s a rotary knob for the fully proportional sixth channel. Another plus: the R2006GS receiver, which automatically adapts to FHSS or S-FHSS transmission modes and 4.8V-7.4V power. And with the speed, features and affordability, the 6J also offers the rock-solid security and dependability of Futaba FHSS technology.

Here are just a few of the features that make the 6J one of the best flight system values around!

The 6J faceplate looks clean and uncrowded, yet puts sticks, the programming keys and the rotary knob within easy reach. A built-in antenna prevents breakage and damage.

Angled for a better, easier grip, and balanced for easy neck strap use, the 6J’s case also features a broad, flat base that makes it stand solidly when you set it down. Other features include a charging jack on the side and a square micro-port for a trainer cord on the backplate.

A big 40 x 30 LCD offers more information and easier viewing at a glance. You can see model name, number and type, voltage, modulation (and more) on the home screen; push SELECT and you see the timer!

If you scroll by the function you want, no problem; you can navigate through menus forward and backward with the same ease.

Most of the 6J’s mixing functions can be assigned to the switch you prefer, so you can adjust the control setup to your style of flying.

The 6J’s rotary knob can be used for a fully proportional 6th channel, fine-tuning hover-pitch or scale flaps. It also leaves room for an added programmable mix you can activate with the flip of the switch.
