Surface Transmitters
Futaba surface radios or transmitters are also called "pistol-grip radios," as they are held similar to a pistol. They can easily be categorized by the numbers of channels they are capable of controlling. The most basic RC vehicles require 2 channels: one for steering and another for throttle. The number of channels they control are often stated in the name of the radio. Many RC vehicles require more than 2 channels. Some RC crawlers require an additional channel for the control of a winch or dig unit.
A Futaba transmitter is the model’s brain. Futaba servos are its muscles. The motor shaft in a servo rotates, which moves a servo arm. The arm is connected by linkages to a function. Control input makes the servo arm move and perform the function. As a rule, each function requires its own servo. These may be analog or digital, and range in size from micro to “monster” types. Speeds, torque and features vary widely, depending on design and application.
Futaba aircraft radios or airplane transmitters can easily be categorized by how many channels they can operate. Channels provide proportional movement for a specific aircraft function. This can be the aileron, throttle rudder, or elevator on a basic airplane. Each function will have a specific channel on the radio system.
Futaba aircraft servos are the electromechanical device which moves the control surfaces or throttle of the RC airplane according to commands from the receiver. The radio device which does the physical work inside the RC airplane.
A Futaba receivers is the unit in the RC airplane which receives the transmitter signal and relays the control to the servos. This is somewhat similar to the radio you may have in your family automobile, except the radio receiver in the RC airplane perceives commands from the transmitter
Futaba helicopter radios or helicopter transmitters can be categorized by how many channels they can operate. Channels provide proportional movement for a specific helicopter function. This can be the cyclic, throttle, pitch, and tail rotor on a basic helicopter. Each function will have a specific channel on the radio system.
