Futaba 6EXAP_c11 6-Channel PCM 72MHz Transmitter for Airplane and Helicopter Radios  [6EXAP_c11]

6-Channel PCM Flight Transmitter Overview

The Futaba 6EXAP_c11 is a 6-channel PCM 72MHz transmitter designed for RC airplane and helicopter operation. Its controls and switches focus on in-flight trimming, dual-rate tuning and practical auxiliaries such as flap and landing gear outputs. The transmitter houses an LCD for programming, a trainer link for instructor-student setups, and a dedicated charging jack to keep the onboard battery ready between sessions.

Operational role and setup: install the matching 72MHz R/C receiver, confirm channel mapping for primary surfaces and auxiliaries, and use the MODE and SELECT controls to navigate the radio’s menus and set travel endpoints, dual rates and exponential. The DATA INPUT lever and the LCD provide stepwise adjustment of values; trim levers give quick mechanical neutral shifts during ground checks and pre-flight trimming.

Key control elements include a dual-rate switch that swaps between two throw profiles for aileron, elevator and rudder, a flap control dial assigned to channel 6, a retractable landing gear switch assigned to channel 5, and a throttle-cut button that allows an immediate engine shutoff once the throttle stick is down. The trainer function requires a standard trainer cord connection to another compatible transmitter for instructor control.

For modelers who need a straightforward, feature-focused 6-channel transmitter, the Futaba 6EXAP_c11 provides the core switches and programming controls used for trimming, dual-rate tuning and basic auxiliary management in hobby-scale airplane and helicopter applications.
