FUTABA 18MZ 18-Channel 2.4GHz Computer System

 

 

 

 

 

 

Equipped with ground-breaking FASSTest technology.

Its going to change the way 2.4GHz systems are designed ?and take your radio control experience to new heights! The 18MZ boasts a long list of features, each representing state-of-the-art radio technology geared towards providing the kind of performance and convenience you may have never thought possible. The 18MZ makes it all possible...all you have to do is make it your radio.

18MZ System Overview:

  • Wide spacing on shoulder switches ?with room for a finger to easily rest between the switches.
  • A 6" HVGA TFT touch screen with 640x240 resolution ?thats big, brilliant and backlit for easy viewing anywhere. Enjoy sparkling clarity on remarkably little power; gentle finger pressure is all thats needed for fast, easy navigation and programming.
  • Download free software updates online ?a fast and easy way to keep your system current, and a popular feature thats standard on Futaba computer systems.
  • Two built-in USB ports ?that you can use to connect to a memory stick keyboard or mouse OR use to download telemetry data to your PC or laptop for storage and reference.
  • A serial interface ?that works like Futabas stand-alone CIU-2 serial interface for programming S.Bus and S.Bus2 servos, as well as Futaba gyros like the GY520.
  • Stick angles adjust quickly and easily
  • A removable 7.4V 3500mAh LiPo battery is standard equipment ?for extended transmitter run times.
  • Easy Link ID??no button on the receiver has to be pushed in order to link the transmitter and receiver.
  • FASSTest technology ?backwards-compatible with FASST, FHSS and S-FHSS technologies.

 

 

  • Multiple telemetry sensors available ?including RPM (magnetic and optical), temperature, voltage, altitude, GPS and fuel level.
  • The included R7008SB receiver is a high-voltage design that lets you use as many channels as you want.
    • Operate on up to 8 channels using 8 standard PWM outputs. Servo options are wide open, ranging from analog to S.Bus and S.Bus2 servos.
    • You have access to up to 18 channels (16 proportional + 2 digital) through the 18MZs two S.Bus ports. That means simpler, more foolproof setup and full support for S.Bus and S.Bus2 servos.
  • SD Card slot ?slide in a card, and you have ample (and adjustable) capacity for updates, model memory and more.
  • Versatile "internal memory" ?in addition to model/setup data, it can also be used for sound and picture files especially useful, since the 18MZ has a built-in 0.3M megapixel camera ?just point the 18MZ, click and you have a foolproof picture ID of your model, without the need for a digital camera or even a cell phone.
