INTRODUCTION TO THE 6EXHP SYSTEM

IMPORTANT!

: Always turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver. When turning off the system, always turn off the receiver 

first. The object is never to have the receiver on by itself. Otherwise, the servos or control surfaces could be damaged, or in the 

case of electric-powered models, the motor may unexpectedly turn on causing severe injury. 

IMPORTANT!

: Never collapse the transmitter antenna by pushing down from the top. If one of the segments becomes 

momentarily stuck you may damage the antenna. Instead, collapse the antenna from the bottom, drawing in one segment at a 

time. 

Transmitter 

Transmits in both FM (PPM) and PCM by selecting modulation/cycling transmitter. Requires receiver of proper modulation. The 

liquid-crystal display (LCD) on the face of the compact, ergonomically-designed case is easy to read and allows rapid data 

input. The system also holds independent memories for six different models. The new, adjustable-length control sticks provide 

an improved feel. Dual rate (D/R), Idle up, Throttle hold, and Gyro sense can be operates by switch. Two different gyro senses 

can be set with Futaba GY401/502/601 Gyro on gyro function of this transmitter. 

Transmitter controls 

The diagram and explanations briefly describe the functions of the Futaba T6EXHP transmitter. Full instructions on how to 

operate the controls are provided beginning on page 10.

NOTE

: The diagram shows a Mode 2 system as supplied. (More on flight modes on page 22).

DESCRIPTIONS:
Aileron, Elevator and Rudder dual rate switch 

-

Use this switch to “flip” between two aileron, elevator and rudder control throw settings. The throws can be set up however you 

prefer, but generally, when the switch is “up” the throws are greater (“high rate”) and when the switch is “down” the throws are 

less (“low rate”). This switch also flips between exponential rates (if used).

Throttle – hold switch 

- This switch operates to hold the engine in the idling position and disengaged it from the Throttle 

Stick. It is commonly use to practice auto-rotation. 

Neck strap hook 

- Mounting point for optional neck strap.

Aileron/elevator control stick 

- Operates the servos connected to channel 1 (aileron) and channel 2 (elevator) in the 

receiver.

Trim levers (all) 

- Used to shift the neutral or center position of each servo as labeled in the diagram.

NOTE

: The throttle trim lever is intended for fine tuning the throttle servo when the engine is at idle. Throttle trim does not 

affect the throttle servo when the throttle control stick is all the way up (so idle r.p.m. can be adjusted without affecting 

throttle settings through the rest of the stick movement).
