6EXAP_c6 by Futaba — 6-Channel FM Flight Transmitter for Aircraft Models  [6EXAP_c6]

Radio system overview

The Futaba 6EXAP_c6 transmitter provides six-channel FM control tailored to radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters, with a focus on straightforward channel mapping, trims and a basic instructor link rather than telemetry. Primary controls are the dual stick layout for aileron/elevator and throttle/rudder, individual trim levers, a multi-position dual-rate switch and a flap control assigned to channel 6.

Setup uses the supplied R136F receiver format and standard servo leads for installation and binding. Navigation of travel adjustments, exponential curves and trainer setup is handled through the LCD and MODE/SELECT controls. Installation-relevant items include a charge socket for the transmitter battery, a visible antenna for RF output and a trainer socket to connect to a second transmitter with a trainer lead.

On the flying field, the dual-rate switch lets pilots select full or reduced control throws and can be used in conjunction with exponential settings. The flap dial moves channel 6 output for precise flap positions, while a gear switch operates a gear servo on channel 5. The throttle-cut control provides an immediate shutdown action for compatible nitro engines when used with the throttle at idle.

Pilots seeking a dependable, entry-style 6-channel FM radio with flap, gear and trainer functions will find the Futaba 6EXAP_c6 well suited to routine setup and training flights.
