This is the Futaba FASST 2.4GHz 14MZ
14-Channel Computer Radio from Futaba with the R6014 2.4GHz FASST 14-Channel
Receiver.
Contains software for airplanes, helicopters and gliders. This is the Mode 2
version with the left stick controlling throttle and rudder and the right
stick controlling elevator and aileron.
This is the airplane version which will
default to helicopter settings when powered up and has a ratcheted throttle
stick. Does not include servos.
If your transmitter's region code is something other than the United States,
the TM-14 Module sold in the United States is not compatible with this
transmitter. As such, it is necessary to purchase the TM-14 module which
matches the region code of the transmitter.
Easily the most advanced radio system ever
developed, the 14MZ brings many innovations to radio design and technology.

FASST Features
-
Futaba's FASST (Futaba
Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology) shifts very quickly virtually
eliminating signal conflicts and interruptions unlike other 2.4GHz systems
that only stay on one or two frequencies
-
Dual antenna diversity enables
FASST system to automatically and seamlessly select the best reception
between the two antennas built into the receiver ensuring that the aircraft
stays under constant control of transmitter regardless of altitude
-
Pre-Vision Packet Screening
technology scans incoming data for potential problems and applies
sophisticated error correction techniques for solid impenetrable link with
model
-
Easy Link system features a
unique ID code in the transmitter that links to the receiver insuring that
receiver only follows commands from this transmitter-with over 134 million
possible codes there is no chance for a conflict
-
When performing a ground
check, the Power Down function allows modeler to reduce power from up to 50+
paces away-like retracting the antenna on a conventional transmitter
-
No hassle Fail Safe programmed
through transmitter-no complicated set-up steps or binding plugs
-
Purpose built custom IC chips
for key functions; no off-the-shelf IC chips
General Features
-
Real-Time Response
Double the resolution of
PCM1024, the 14MZ's breakthrough PCM G3 2048 enables servos to pick up
even the slightest stick movements. It's the closest to actual real-time
response possible, for unprecedented speed and precision. The 14MZ is
also backwards- compatible, so pilots can still use 1024PCM and PPM
receivers
-
Large Color Touch Screen
Only one company in the
world could make the 14MZ display...it's an engineering triumph in
itself. The HGVA screen features crystal clear 640x240 pixel resolution.
It uses transflective technology (layered transparent and reflective
surfaces) plus adjustable backlighting and contrast for easy visibility,
even in direct sunlight. Menu navigations and selections can be made by
touching the screen-or use the Dial-N-Key button to scroll and select
The 14MZ takes advantage
of two separate internal processors for maximum efficiency and
reliability. A custom Futaba processor expertly directs all functions
dedicated to flight control. Input for general operating tasks-such as
set-up and programming-is processed by Windows CE.
Numerous aircraft
configurations are already programmed in. Just select the needed setup
Multiple servos
controlling a single function can be set up through the transmitter and
then plugged into differently adjustable receiver channels (even
non-consecutively) without needing a separate servo synchronizer for
mixing.
The eight shoulder
switches can be reconfigured to your own preference-just pull out switch
and plug in the preferred style, tall or short, button or toggle,
spring-loaded or positionable.
Futaba advanced technology
allows this receiver to be the first 2.4GHz receiver able to utilize all
14 channels. It retains G3 2048 resolution and Futaba Real Time Response
from the 72MHz version.
Simple one-touch binding -
no plugs to mess with or lose
A full range system for
all aircraft from giant scale to Park Flyer applications-no need to buy
separate receiver for specific aircraft
Dual Antenna Diversity
allows 2.4GHz FASST Futaba transmitter to select the best reception
between the two receiver antennas with no signal loss Rubber grommets
installed where antennas exit to eliminate stress and fraying of the two
antenna wires
Even with the 14MZ
transmitter's brilliant, full-color display, fliers will enjoy 2-3 hours
of operating time per charge from the included 7.4V, 2200mAh Lithium-Ion
battery pack
Built-in 30-model memory,
which can be expanded to 100 models using the supplied Flash memory
card. Upload digital images of your aircraft for use as model names on
the graphic menu. Create and store audio files enabling you to fly to
music or flight call sequences.
The transmitter also
includes a built-in mic for recording and storing up to 24 voice
prompts, such as "Landing gear down" and "Full throttle!" These prompts
can be assigned to specific switches and functions so that audio
confirmations of proper stick movement are heard through the
transmitter's speaker.

Comments
-
For a true mode change on this
radio it must be sent to the Futaba service center, as the sticks will need
to be recalibrated.
