Futaba’s 3FR offers you more than ease and economy. It offers you a whole new slant on single-stick design.
The stick assembly is angled slightly inward, to take full advantage of your thumb’s natural range of motion. The result: more comfort for the pilot and easier, almost effortless control. Ergonomic case design follows the lead, encouraging firm, effective hand placement. A gentle outward curve on the right leaves your hand positioned for easy thumb-only or thumb and forefinger stick operation. The left side curves in, which leads your thumb right to a molded-in recess. It’s primary purpose is to give your left hand a good grip while you launch with the right. It also provides a “home” for the slider switch that gives you proportional control of throttle.
Aileron and elevator are controlled by the stick, the same way they are on 4-channel systems. When you’re ready to move up, your experience will make it just that much easier to master more advanced systems.
