Futaba 6EXAP_c13 6-Channel FM 72MHz Airplane & Helicopter Transmitter  [6EXAP_c13]

Futaba 6EXAP_c13 Overview

The Futaba 6EXAP_c13 is a 6-channel FM 72MHz transmitter built for scale RC airplane and helicopter use, designed to give a straightforward control layout for setup, trimming and flight tuning. Controls are arranged to support common flight configurations: dedicated sticks for aileron/elevator and throttle/rudder, trim levers for fine neutral adjustment, and a visible LCD for mode selection and parameter editing.

Key operator controls are focused on practical setup and in-flight adjustments: a dual-rate switch lets you alternate between two throw settings and corresponding exponential curves, a selectable flap dial drives channel 6 for flaps, and a dedicated retractable-gear switch drives channel 5 when retracts are fitted. Throttle cut provides an engine safety function for glow-engine models, and a trainer connector supports instructor/student link-up with another transmitter.

The unit includes a charging jack for the internal transmitter battery and an on-off switch for power control. Functional buttons such as MODE and SELECT cycle and confirm the 10 (or PCM 11) menus shown on the LCD, while the DATA INPUT lever increments values during programming. The antenna is detachable and must be fully extended during flight to maintain reliable signal range and reduce interference with nearby pilots.

For hobbyists needing a straightforward FM flight transmitter, the 6EXAP_c13 offers clear channel mapping, physical switches and dials for common flight functions, and an LCD-driven menu for programming and tuning before and during sorties with scale RC aircraft.
