  2. Excludes The carboard sleeve box - We dont ship the orginal external cardboard box because its twice as big as it needs to be - shipping volume is calculated and chargeable - YES we do include the protective EPS/foam case cut down.
  3. Excludes Rx power (recommend connect it direct to PARIS or Wookong or NAZA and add a C1 3300uF Cap)

  •  With the 8FG Super, how much memory you have is a matter of choice. 20-model memory is built-in, but the radio can accept SD memory cards from 32MB all the way up to 2GB. That's more than enough for virtually unlimited model setups and downloads of online software updates! 
  • The big backlit LCD offers contrast and brightness adjustments, normal/large timer display options and a user-settable auto-off feature for conserving power. 
  • You can set a single gyro rate on the airplane menu, or as many as three. Changing the rate is as easy as touching a switch.
  • While most of the 8FG Super's advances are found in its updated software, Futaba has also made small tweaks to the transmitter — notice the lengthened slider levers — for greater comfort and control.

  • Swash trim can be adjusted easily from the 8FG Super's swash screen. 
  • Functions you use most often can be customized and displayed for fast, easy access. 
  • The 8FG Super makes 14 channels — and unmatched 2.4GHz FASST reliability — affordable for any pilot!
  • Separate swash type and swash detail menus help you fine-tune heli setups to performance perfection. 
  • Trims set up with digital precision and accuracy. You can adjust by setting trim steps a specific value, or as a percentage of the total range — whichever suits your flying style best. 
  • The 8FG Super comes out of the box perfectly balanced for neckstrap support and fingertip control. A thin, narrow case makes it easier and more comfortable to grasp.
  • On the heli menu, you can assign the gyro and governor functions to any switch or control — conveniences that are usually found only on high-end systems.

FAQ
Whats difference between a the FUTABA FASST and Futaba S-FHSS sytem Receivers - Mainly Price - but technically - its this ....
  • S-FHSS = is an entry level frequency hopping system (most other entry level Radio and NOT frequency hopping), S-FHSS will not scan the band at boot and has no error checking capabilities.  8J radio is S-FHSS and 18MZ can talk to a S-FHSS Receiver
  • FASST: 8FG Super Hybrid FH/DSSS channel shifting system, it will scan the band at boot and has error checking and correction capabilities. FASST is what Futaba uses in top end commercial systems - this Radio is NOT FASST - choose the 8FG Super or the 18MZ HERE
  • FASSTEST - 18Mz - same as FASST plus has full telemetry with no flict - many aftermarket 2.4Ghz telemetry system create the possibility of partial jamming at long range - the FUTABA system offers the security of a 100% worlds best RCRadio with Factory based telemetry.

Tips

  • Information on assembling a kit can be gained by looking at the photos on the product page itself. If you stuck on an advanced kit then first read the Quad Noobs guide
  • MultiCopters should hover at 50% throttle and fly for 10-15 mins.
  • Balance all props - vibration causes junk sensors data and gello in video - remove the SOURCE of the vibration by balancing
  • Use a quality prop balancer(Du-Bro 499 Tru-Spin Prop Balancer) statically; then run them individually to check they are centred true and the tipshave the same path; any vibration will reduce the effectiveness of the Wii gyro or anyother gyro.
  • Attach any IMU or sensors such as Sirius™, NAZA or WookM with vibration isolation gel - Board with sensors solder to directly are just cheapo clones - commercial quality IMU use isolation vibration materials
  • Keep your PROPS OFF - not installed - until you are fully conversant/understand in full the functions of your Tx in full including TRAV (end Points), the arm and disarm procedures - realise that for a noob skiping or out-of-order set-up steps or moving sticks, or even static - PROPS may start at anytime without warning. Never install props prior to calibration of the ESC and testing the gyro orientation, and arm/disarm testing of the board - YOU are responsible - make sure your actions and your Copter is safe - remove the prop -remove the risk.
  • Always maiden on default PIDs' - If the copter is not almost perfect on default PID's then DO NOT go straight to altering the PID's! Most of the problems you will face as a noob will be caused by making wild assumptions or following myths from forums - fly on default PIDs first - balance your props - make sure your ESC are calibrated and synchronized.
  • Dont be fooled by forum claims of kirby flashed ESCs - this software will melt your ESCs and give short flights - there is a lot of bad info on forums

Safety in Australian Skies

  • Keep more than 30m from persons,choose an empty sports field for your first flights
  • Do not fly near pets, houses or cars
  • Never fly within 3nm of an airfield or above 400ft
  • Never install your props until after the Multicopter is fully tested and 100% correct without props. Engines can start suddenly and without warning IF YOU FAIL to understand how they work or skip any steps.
  • Set your Tx/Rx binding to low throttle 1/4 position so that if the link is lost the copter will descend slowly.
  • Always keep your Copter in line of sight for one pilot ops - FPV is only legal in AU with a buddy on a buddybox - 2 person FPV is 100% legal using the buddybox system below 400'.  See CASA Part 101 Regs
  • RC Flying is a privilege - please enjoy it.  Don't show off and don't get over confident
  • Home movies are fine, but in Australia professional paid photography or videos from an RC aircraft requires CASA Part 101 compliance, including exams and approved ops manuals and pilot competency tests by CASA official which will cost several thousand up front.
