Futaba 6EXAP_c6 6-Channel FM Flight Transmitter for RC Airplanes and Helicopters  [6EXAP_c6]

Control system summary

This Futaba 6EXAP_c6 is a six-channel FM radio designed for radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters. The design emphasizes channel assignment, straightforward in-field trimming and a basic trainer link rather than advanced telemetry features. Front-panel controls include the aileron/elevator and throttle/rudder sticks, axis trim levers, a dual-rate switch for aileron/elevator/rudder, plus a dedicated dial for flaps on channel 6.

Pairing and installation use the supplied R136F receiver form factor and standard servo connectors. The transmitter uses a MODE/SELECT interface and an LCD to navigate travel limits, exponential settings and trainer configuration. Key physical items for setup include a charging jack for the transmitter battery, an exposed antenna for transmission, and a trainer port for instructor/student connection via a trainer cord.

In the field pilots employ the dual-rate switch to toggle between high and low throws and to alter exponential response where required, use the channel 6 flap dial to position flaps, and operate retractable gear on channel 5 with the designated switch. A throttle-cut button provides an immediate engine shutoff option for applicable nitro powerplants when the throttle stick is lowered. These controls make the unit suitable for basic tuning, pre-flight checks and trainer-assisted flights.

For pilots who want a simple, conventional 6-channel FM transmitter with dedicated flap and gear controls, trainer capability and basic trim and dual-rate functions, the Futaba 6EXAP_c6 is a practical, no-frills choice for model setup and training.
