The following additional accessories are available from your dealer. Refer to a Futaba catalog for more information:
•
NT8S Transmitter battery pack - the (600mAh) transmitter Ni-Cd battery pack may be easily exchanged with a fresh
one to provide enough capacity for extended flying sessions.
•
Trainer cord - the optional training cord may be used to help a beginning pilot learn to fly easily by placing the instructor on
a separate transmitter. Note that the 7C transmitter may be connected to another 7C system, as well as to many other models
of Futaba transmitters. The 7C transmitter uses the newer rectangular type cord plug. Both new-to-new and new-to-round plug
style trainer cords are available.
•
FTA8 Neckstrap - a neckstrap may be connected to your T7C system to make it easier to handle and improve your flying
precision, since your hands won't need to support the transmitter's weight.
•
Y-harnesses, servo extensions, etc - Genuine Futaba extensions and Y-harnesses, including a heavy-duty version with heavier
wire, are available to aid in your larger model and other installations.
•
5-cell (6.0V) receiver battery packs - All Futaba airborne equipment (except that which is specifically labeled otherwise) is
designed to work with 4.8V (Ni-Cd 4 cells) or 6.0V (Ni-Cd 5 cells or alkaline 4 cells). Using a 6.0V pack increases the current
flow to the servos, which accelerates their rate of response and their torque. However, because of this faster current draw, a 5-
cell battery pack of the same mAh rating will last approximately æ the time of a 4-cell pack.
•
R309DPS - Synthesized receiver which can be changed to any 72MHz frequency with the turn of 2 dials, no tuning needed.
•
Gyros - a variety of genuine Futaba gyros are available for your aircraft or helicopter needs. See p. 56 for aircraft or
p. 72 for helicopter gyro information.
