Product information

The T14SG exploits Futaba FASSTest technology to provide optimum transmission security and a direct, ultra-precise sensation of control. Combine all this with a comprehensive array of functions and the usual high Futaba quality, and the T14SG is the perfect transmitter for all demanding pilots.
The re-designed transmitter case is now larger, lies comfortably in the hands, and provides a control layout of outstanding ergonomic efficiency. The large, centrally positioned, high-resolution, backlit 128 x 64 dot graphic screen ensures good legibility in all light conditions. The graphic user interface, with the renowned simple Futaba menu structure, makes the unit very simple to operate. The menu system can be displayed in any of 9 languages. The unit's clean, elegant lines are made possible by the new Cap-Touch system. Zero-contact sensors acting as a 3D hot-key allow a smooth, sealed surface without any projecting controls. Experience the new sensation of control using the special precision dual-axis stick units, with digital trims and trim value memory. The side-mounted rotary controls provide a practical means of operating auxiliary functions without taking your fingers from the sticks.

Transmission

14 channels

FASSTest^® technology(Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology)

The FASSTest^® Hybrid technology combines the advantages of DSSS and FHSS Modulation. Extreme channel spread (spread factor 11) with DSSS Spreading, combined with optimised FHSS frequency hopping, produces outstanding interference rejection and ultra-fast response speeds for a direct, precise sensation of control.

100 mW transmitter power

Real-Time-Response

The latency (delay between moving the stick and the servo’s initial movement) of the FASSTest^® / FASST system is significantly faster than other 2.4 GHz systems.

Very long range >3000 m

Ultra-fast, direct, fully digital modulation for extremely direct response

Switchable FASSTest^® High-Speed mode for ultra-fast digital servo response and 6.3 ms frame rate (12-channel, reduced telemetry functions)

Easy Link - extremely simple, high-speed binding process between transmitter and receiver

Extremely fast, reliable automatic re-binding even under difficult conditions

Intelligent servo timing for simultaneous servo movement, prevents differential servo response

Dual Antenna Diversity – lightning-fast switching between two receiver aerials for optimum reception signal quality (according to receiver)

Pre-Vision – FASST / FASSTest^® receivers constantly scan the input signal, and apply intelligent Futaba error correction.

No loss of response speed even when frequency band is densely occupied

Integrated range test function for checking effective range before launching

Modulation switchable to FASST or FHSS for downward compatibility with existing Futaba components

Telemetry

Synchronised bi-directional communication between transmitter and receiver, with high telemetry data rate (max. 9 times per second)

32 telemetry channels

Max. 1000 m telemetry range

Real-time display of telemetry data on integral screen

Speech output* via optional earphones

Speech output controlled by user-selectable switch *
