A friend of mine recently gave me his old futaba receiver and transmitter. I'm not sure as to how old it is, but wanted to check if it's legal to use for glow powered planes. It's a futaba FP-R114H AM 4 channel receiver.

Thanks

J421... I think your receiver is listed here under narrow band, which
I would think is OK to use...Well as long as it range checks good..
but for how cheap you can now get new sets and depending what
you will be installing it in... I would check all options...

If you tell us which model of radio you have we might be able to get more info for you. A lot of the AM radios have limited range and are made for park flyers and wouldn't be safe for glow powered planes. It would be good to fin out if the radio is a full range radio before you do antthing else. Reason being, the batterys will most likely need to be replaced and why spend the money if the set up isn't safe?

The transmitters are the parts that are REQUIRED to be narrow band certified. It may have a gold seal on the case or other sticker stating this. If not, EXACTLY what model is it? It may be able to be retuned by FUtaba, you can contact them directly.
