Futaba
T6J,
*T8J
*R2106GF
*We used the Futaba T8J 2.4GHz transmitter
and Futaba R2106GF receiver for our own
setup. The R2106GF receiver's extremely short
antenna makes installation a breeze! The T8J
transmitter features a special built-on antenna
for durability, and boasts easy to use, yet very
comprehensive, programming features.
