The Futaba FX36 is the flagship among console transmitters and was designed for professional use in model sports. Quality and equipment meet the highest demands and leave nothing to be desired in terms of transmission reliability, functionality and operability.
The extensive telemetry functions are identical to the well-known T18MZ and T14SG systems. Futaba's best cross stick segments ST-57 (as in T18MZ) with contactless, wear-free Potless sensors are used for the control.
The system includes all known modulations such as FASST, FASSTest, T-FHSS and FHSS. The menu navigation is clearly structured and can be quickly operated via the large, color touch screen. In addition to the familiar functions of the T-18MZ, a multi-copter menu and 9-language menu navigation have been added. The integrated SD card slot for storing model data and updating software for future, new applications makes this system future-proof.
The high-quality transmitter housing impresses with its workmanship and lies perfectly in the hand. The ergonomically arranged switches and encoders allow fatigue-free operation. The set includes 2 aluminium joystick extensions for adjusting the control ergonomics.
The FX36 can directly convert data from FX22, FX30, FX32, T12FG, T14SG (without PC converter), model data from T16SZ, T18SZ are directly compatible. With the model data converter V2.2 from our download area you can convert the data from T18MZ to FX36 on your PC!
Potless joystick: If Futaba changes the proven technology with the industrial potentiometers used so far, then this has been tested and optimised over a very long period of time. For 3 years now, this technology has had to prove to Futaba engineers that not only wear-free control movements are possible, but also significant progress in resolution and linearity compared to the more than precise and proven Futaba billets with the precision potentiometers is possible. Only then are Futaba engineers satisfied and the highest customer demands are fulfilled.
Not simple magnets and transducers available everywhere, no, they must then be magnets specially optimised for Futaba applications with matched sensors, which can also be evaluated linearly over the entire path and under all conditions. And this with a resolution of more than 4096 step(s) over the entire billet travel + temperature range.
But what use is new technology if the mechanics, as is often the case with marketable products, cannot implement the actual advantages at all? This is no problem with the full-ball bearing Futaba control units, there are no more precise and torsionally stiffer billet mechanisms. This is where Futaba comes into its own in the field of plastics and materials.
