***Futaba FASST™ Module / Receiver Sets for 2.4GHz***



Photos: Attached.


More 2.4GHz breakthroughs from Futaba!

If it’s from Futaba, you know it’s done right — the first time! 2.4GHz systems are the hottest category in R/C, and Futaba is once again at the forefront with three new module/receiver sets. These modules are designed to work with existing Futaba radios, so you can simply plug them in and start enjoying all of the benefits that spread spectrum technology has to offer, without having to invest in a new transmitter! No other manufacturer understands 2.4GHz as well as Futaba, who has the experience and expertise to develop hobby-specific components that are unmatched in performance and reliability.

The advantages of FASSTTM Futaba 2.4GHz systems:

Constant Channel Shifting
Other 2.4GHz systems hold firm to one or two frequencies, increasing the potential for interference. The frequency of Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems shift every 2 milliseconds, so there are no signal conflicts or interruptions — and no need for a frequency pin!

Pre-VisionTM Packet Screening Technology
2.4GHz FASST scans incoming data and applies sophisticated error correction techniques — resulting in a system that gives you a solid, impenetrable connection with your model.

Dual Antenna Diversity (DAD)
Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems seamlessly select the best reception between two receiver antennas, so there’s no loss of signal.
(R603FF receiver included with 3PM 2.4GHz does not offer DAD.)

100x Faster Antenna Switching
If the receiver notices a problem with the data coming into one antenna, it rapidly switches to the other, looking for the sharpest signal.
*Comparing the R606FS receiver to the AR6000 receiver.

Custom-Developed IC Chips
Futaba uses custom IC chips that have been designed specifically for radio-control — ensuring quality, reliability, and safety. This is why Futaba FASST systems are faster and more reliable than the competition.

Compact, “all-in-one” receivers
Futaba’s small, powerful 2.4GHz FASST R606FS and R607FS receivers for flight systems can control giant-scale models as easily as park flyers and weigh a scant 7 grams without case. Full-range systems from other manufacturers include a bigger, two-piece receiver, and you must purchase a smaller park flyer receiver separately.
Over 2x Less Minimum Latency
Latency is the elapsed time between your movement of the transmitter controls and servo response. In Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems, that response can happen over twice as fast — so you feel less like you’re “out in front” leading your model, and more like you’re inside driving or flying it.
*When comparing the 6EX FASST system to the DX7.

Easy Link TM
Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems leave the factory already linked to the receiver code. Once linked the receiver will recognize and respond ONLY to that transmitter. Binding more receivers is not a problem — the linking process is simple...just push a button on the receiver.

Features:

New design for cleaner, safer, and secure installation –
Unlike other modules, Futaba’s FASST System modules don’t have external wires that can get in the way of the transmitter, or possibly get pulled out or disconnected.

One-piece receiver – for easier installation –
The R606FS and R607FS are small enough to use with park flyers, but powerful enough to easily control giant-scale planes, Futaba’s line of 2.4GHz receivers is truly state of the art. In addition to not requiring a second receiver for park flyers, Futaba’s receivers boast higher sensitivity for less unwanted interference.

Quick and easy to use -
No need to screw or clamp pieces to the Futaba units. Simply plug them in and fly!

Works with existing Futaba radios –
TM-7: 7-Channel Module and R607FS 7-Channel Receiver
Designed for the Futaba 9C radio, but also works with the 8U, 7U, and 9Z.
TM-8: 8-Channel Module and R608FS 8-Channel Receiver
Works with the 9C and 9Z systems, as well as 8U and 7U.
TM-14: 14-Channel Module and R6014FS 14-Channel Receiver
Fits the 14MZ, 12Z, and the NEW 12FG radio.
*Capable of using all 14 channels with Futaba Module/Receiver set

Status: offline 		Hi
Mmmmmm speaking as a 14 MZ owner i have been waiting for this for a long time. I also hoped for something a bit more asthetic. It is going to look terrible stuck on the back of my clean lined MZ. They could have at least have stuck the aerial in the middle instead of off to one side.
Did they indicate if the resultion was any better than 2048, Also would the 14/12 MZ require a software update to use the new module.

Still it is a step in the right direction. Any idea of price?

Mike

Status: offline 		so, anybody got any idea why there is a dial on the 14 ch module to allow special selections for france?

actually, that dial is on all 3 modules, and i am guessing now, but i bet it is on the 12fg as well.

I can finally upgrade my 8U and since the antenna is connected to the module I am guessing I can swap back to my 72Mhz module with no connections, screws or external antenna so I can keep using my older receivers when I want at the field. Nice!!!

It'd be fun to see if they released a JR compatible module, as it seems that many are not charmed with the Spektrum modules antenna kludge .
Cheers,

This way we can get our feet wet with a 2.4GHz module system without taking a bath replacing all our 72MHz receivers at one time. Do I reeeealy need 2.4GHz in my Slow Stick

Status: offline 		Also anounced was a T12FGA 12 channel transmitter in 2.5ghz.

For more information on the new transmitter go to http://2.4gigahertz.com/radios/futk9275.html

Here is a clip from the above link

"Taking twelve-channel control to a new level!

Futaba's new 12FG radio combines the unmatched precision of 2048 resolution with the groundbreaking advantages of Futaba's proven FASST 2.4GHz system. This is the radio for discerning R/C pilots who insist on state-of-the-art features and functions for the most precise control imaginable. And because it's from Futaba, you can use it with confidence knowing that the industry's finest research and development has gone into it - making it a real value for you!"

2007 is shaping up to be an exciting one. Can't wait to pre-order this one. I've been waiting for this since the DX6 came out. The next leap forward in the hobby is just around the corner. It's a wonderful thing to have orange blood.

John

Status: offline 		I wonder if the new module will support fail safe functionality on the 9C. Or will we have to wait for Futaba to release a new 9C type transmitter to get PCM type fail safe?

I may not buy the module for my 9 C unless fail safe is supported for use with some of my larger planes. That is just a personal preference. I have already placed an order for the 6 channel 2.4ghz system from Futaba. This unit has some nice fail safe functionality. My bet is that the 9C module will not have fail safe functionality. But I hope it does. If not I'll wait for Futaba to come out with a 9C type transmitter that will support fail safe.

Regardless of how this all sorts out I will convert all of my equipment over to 2.4G.

This is an exciting time for our hobby.
