Futaba 6EXAP_c9 6-Channel PCM 72MHz Flight Transmitter for Airplanes & Helicopters  [6EXAP_c9]

Futaba 6EXAP_c9 overview

The Futaba 6EXAP_c9 is an RC-scale 6-channel PCM transmitter package aimed at pilots flying fixed-wing and rotorcraft models on 72MHz bands. The set emphasizes straightforward control mapping and direct-access switches and dials for functions commonly adjusted at the field, such as dual rates, flap travel, retractable gear and trainer linking. Physical controls include a dedicated flap dial for channel 6, a retractable-gear switch for channel 5, separate trim levers for each axis, a throttle-cut button, and a DATA INPUT lever paired with an LCD for menu navigation.

Installation into a typical model radio bay follows standard steps: bind the included R136HP receiver to the transmitter, connect servos to the labeled receiver channels (the set lists four S3003 servos), and verify travel and direction using the transmitter’s trim levers and dual-rate switch. The transmitter’s antenna must be fully extended during operation to maintain signal integrity on 72MHz systems. For training, the trainer switch requires a trainer cord connection to a second transmitter as noted in the control section.

Compatibility

• Designed for RC airplanes and helicopters using 72MHz PCM receivers.

As an RC transmitter package the Futaba 6EXAP_c9 serves as a field-friendly controller and setup tool. Its labeled switches and dedicated controls reduce the need to navigate deep menus during preflight checks, making it suitable for pilots who require on-site adjustments to dual-rate settings, flap travel and trainer arrangements.
