Transmitter, Futaba 18SZ Mode 2 with R7008SB

Transmitter, Futaba 18SZ Mode 2

Futaba 18SZ is perfect for pro pilots and weekend
wingers alike. It offers flights conditions, in addition, to many of the
functions and features of top-of-the-line systems at an affordable
price.. of the 18MZ.

Leading off its list of features is full telemetry function. The 18SZ is set up
to receive temperature, RPM, altitude, GPS, voltage, current, and data logging
telemetry information, keeping you more tightly riveted to your aircraft than ever
before. And, its intuitive full touchscreen display and long battery life make
it the radio every serious pilot needs at the field.

The outlook of the Futaba 18SZ resembles the top of line 18MZ. The 18SZ uses a 4.3”
HVGA full colour backlight LCD touch screen that is very clear and
enables visibility in both outdoor and indoor.

It comes with a 2100mAH LIFE pack and a Futaba charger 7.2v 800mAH,
a R7008SB FASSTEST receiver, Futaba neck strap and a heavy duty switch.

The 18SZ is also equipped with speech function designed to provide the telemetry
data audibly. It also allows user to set various alarms by vibrating the
transmitter. This vibration function is extremely useful since pilots
may not always hear the alert from the transmitter in the outdoor
environment.

The Futaba 18SZ uses the same gimbal as the 18MZ and
hence users can adjust the stick length, stick tension, stick lever
angle, ratchet or non-ratchet from the back of the transmitter according
to users’ preference.

The Futaba 18SZ is able to work with the following system:
- FASSTest 18ch/12ch
- FASST MULTI
- FASST 7CH
- S-FHSS
- T-FHSS

The 18SZ software caters for Airplane, Helicopter, Glider and Multicopter.
In the Multicopter mode, there are pre-designated channels for Gimbal
tilt, Gimbal pan and Gimbal record. The software can be updated via the
SD card subsequently whenever updates are available from the official
Futaba website
