What are the differences between the new 6EX 2.4G system and the 72MHz 6EX versions?
First of all, as the name implies, the 6EX 2.4G system utilizes spread spectrum technology and operates on the 2.4 GHz band rather than 72MHz as the previous systems.
Additionally, unlike the previous 6EX systems, this version incorporates the features and functions necessary to pilot both helicopters and airplanes from the same transmitter. Features and function of this system are as follows:
Standard Programming Functions
- Model Select - six model memory.
- Model Type - select airplane or heli programming in one transmitter.
- Servo Reversing - on all six channels.
- Dual Rate/Exponential - for ailerons, elevator and rudder.
- End Point Adjustment - fine-tunes servo throws on all six channels.
- Digital Trim - stores trim settings for each model for aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle.
- Fail Safe - a safety throttle setting in case of loss of transmitter signal.
- Battery Fail Safe - moves the throttle to a preset position when the airborne pack reaches 3.8V.
- Stick Mode - choose from Mode 1 through 4.
- Range Checking - Power Down reduces transmitter output power for up to one minute, allowing range checking from 50 paces away.
- Changeable Throttle Stick - select ratchet for airplanes or smooth for helis.
- Adjustable Stick Length - choose the length that suits your flying style.
Airplane-Specific Programming Functions
- Wing Mixing - for flaperon, flap trim, V-tail and elevon.
- Trainer System - with the transmitter as either the master or student system. Compatible with other Futaba systems.
- Throttle Cut - pre-programmed for safely shutting off the engine.
- Programmable Mixing (1 & 2) - two different mixes allow any two channels to be combined.
Helicopter-Specific Programming Functions
- 5-Point Normal and Idle Up Throttle/Pitch Curves
- Throttle Hold - for autorotation.
- Revo (Revolution Mixing) - mixes rudder and pitch together.
- Gyro Mixing - two gyro gain settings can be programmed and selected
The features and functions for the 6EX 2.4G system are accessed in a manner that is identical to the original 6EX system. For additional information regarding the programming of your radio, please refer to the FAQ for the original 6EX at: http://www.futaba-rc.com/faq/faq-6exa.html
