Futaba T18MZ+R7008SB 2,4GHz FASSTest M2 EUImmerse yourself in a product so revolutionary that it has the potential to change the way 2.4GHz
systems are designed. Combining the Futaba legacy with an 18-channel system is probably more than enough to make long-time fliers want to buy one. However, the T18MZ also offers the latest and best chapter in Futabas 2.4GHz developments: new FASSTest (Expanded System Telemetry) technology, whilst also being able to operate on FASST and S-FHSS transmission systems, enabling all Futaba 2.4GHz aircraft/helicopter receivers to be used as well as all the forthcoming Ripmax FTR (Futaba Transmitter Ready) models which are also S-FHSS.
Powered by a 7.4V, 3500mAh Li-Po transmitter battery, the T18MZ is the first true 18-channel
Futaba radio system ever. It comes with an R7000SB telemetry enabled receiver, a high-voltage
design that operates up to 8 channels using the 8 standard PWM outputs or up to 18 channels (16 proportional + 2 digital) through the T18MZ s two S-Bus2 ports. That means a simpler setup and full support for S-Bus and S-Bus2 servos. As supplied the R7008SB receiver includes integral sensors for receiver voltage, signal strength and external voltage, with further separate sensors due to be available soon.
Slide a card in the inbuilt SD slot and you have ample capacity for unlimited updates, model memories and sound/picture files. That s especially pleasing, since the T18MZ has a built-in 0.3M megapixel camera eliminating the need for a digital camera or mobile phone; just point the T18MZ, click and you have a foolproof picture ID of your model in seconds. The transmitter includes a big, brilliant and backlit 6 touch screen with 640x240 resolution which provides sparkling clarity on remarkably little power. Gentle finger pressure is all that s needed for fast, easy navigation and programming.
Popularised by the T14MZ software updates for the T18MZ will available online providing a fast and easy way to keep your system current . It features a built-in USB Port which can be utilised to connect a memory stick, keyboard or mouse or to download telemetry data to your PC or laptop for storage and reference.
The in-built S-Bus programming system allows the T18MZ to be used whilst setting up a model with S-Bus servos, removing the requirement for a laptop and CIU-2 interface and thus simplifying setups. First introduced on the T14MZ, the adjustable gimbal angles feature has proven so popular that it was included on the 18MZ, as well. It s more than a comfort/convenience feature; it allows you to customise your control setup for greater ease and precision.
