FUTABA NEW PROPORTIONAL R/C FEATURES

TRANSMITTER

1. All Futaba New Proportional Models are designed and manufactured to the identical standards and specifica-

tions.
Therefore mixing with other Futaba receivers and servos will not affect the operation.

2. Frequency changes are easily accomplished, because of the plug-in socket for the crystals.
3. Throttle control Lever location can be easily changed from left to right side.

4. Neck strap and Hook is provided for convenient handling.

RECEIVER

1. Because of the New 8-BIT integrated circuit device, used in all Futaba Receivers, all Futaba Propo. Systems

are supplied with 6 channel capacity receiver FP-R6D.

2. Light weight and miniaturized by NEW 3-Wire Mini-Block connector.
3. Stable operation from 4V to 6.6V resulting from utilization of the power saving circuits.

4. Frequency change can be easily accomplished without opening the receiver case because of the unique outside-

mounted crystal socket.

5. Strong rejection of spurious signals by utilization of a double tuned RF pre-selector circuit.
6. Shielded RF and Oscillator coils provide strong rejection of spurious signals.
7. Accidental touching of Futaba Transmitter and Futaba Receiver antennas will not affect the normal op-

eration.

SERVO

1. Since the FP-S5, FP-S5L, FP-S4 are all designed and manufactured to identical standards, they will display

their maximum capability even when mixed with other Futaba Models.

2. With the use of Monolithic intergrated circuit, Futaba BA-606 and BA-607 Servo AMPS are small in size,

light weight and sturdy with high output torque.

3. In the BA-607, the 12-pin single End-line Monolithic 1C contains a low current drain. High resolution. Temper-

ature compensated Low-voltage circuit which allows operation down to 4V without creating interference
between adjacent Servos.

4. In the BA-606, the 9-pin single end-line integrated circuit is used. This circuit contains; 2 specially made high

out-put current (500mA) transistors of the PNP type, 2 NPN type transistors, 4 Diodes, 4 Resistors, a total of
12 integrated devices in a single package.

5. At idle, low current consumption. (8 mA).
6. High out-put (torque) 2 kg/cm.
