Precision Flight Radio - Futaba 12FGA 40MHz Transmitter

The Futaba 12FGA represents meticulous engineering in RC flight radios. Built for serious hobbyists, this system delivers the dependable response and fine tuning that Futaba is known for. It fits pilots flying both airplanes and helicopters who expect accurate, repeatable control.

High Resolution Control and Broad Compatibility

The 12FGA uses PCM G3 with 2048 resolution to provide very refined stick response. It maintains backward compatibility with 1024 PCM and also supports FM/PPM modes, making it adaptable to a range of setups. The synthesized R5114DPS receiver runs in two selectable modes: Mode A for normal operation and Mode B for high RF congestion areas, helping maintain clean links at busy flying sites.

Model Setup and Flight Condition Options

Setup flexibility is a strong point of the 12FGA. It includes 24 preset model types and supports eight flight conditions so you can switch setups for different sorties. The system covers six no-tail wing configurations and eight helicopter swash types, so fixed wing and rotor pilots can match their control geometry. Variable Dual Rates and exponential tuning smooth out control inputs for cleaner handling across flight regimes.

Comfort and Control Feel

Ergonomics were considered in the 12FGA design to keep long sessions comfortable while retaining precise control. Quad-bearing gimbals provide smooth stick motion and adjustable tension and detents let pilots tailor the feel. Front-mounted sliders and accessible switches make in-flight adjustments straightforward.

Whether refining aerobatic routines or logging long training flights, the Futaba 12FGA gives pilots the precision and configuration options needed for consistent performance.

Adding a model is done via the model memory menu and presets; choose a preset model type, assign controls and trims, then save. The preset types speed up initial setup for common airframe categories.
Mode B is useful at crowded flying fields or contests where RF noise is higher. It helps the receiver maintain a stable link when interference is present.
Yes, but match critical control surfaces with servos that meet the required speed and torque. Use endpoint and expo settings to balance differences between servo responses.
Yes. Use the Variable Dual Rates and flight condition switching to change handling characteristics between flight modes without landing.
