All Futaba 2.4GHz FASST system
transmitters feature a unique and
permanent ID code, ensuring that
the receiver will recognize and
respond ONLY to that transmitter.
The linking process is simple – just
push a button on the receiver!
2.4GHz FASST scans incoming data and applies sophisticated
error correction techniques – resulting in a system that gives
you a solid, impenetrable connection with your model.
Other 2.4GHz systems hold firm to one or two frequencies,
increasing the potential for interference. The frequency of Futaba
2.4GHz FASST shifts every 2 milliseconds, reducing opportunities
for interference!
Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems seamlessly select the best reception
between two receiver antennas, so there’s no loss of signal.

Over 2x less minimum latency
Futaba 2.4GHz FASST systems feature half the latency of
other systems, giving users response that occurs twice as
fast – letting you fly in real time!
Fail-Safe
Futaba’s 2.4GHz systems feature dual Fail-Safes - one in the
transmitter and a preset one in the receiver. The receiver automatically
moves the throttle servo to a preset idle position if the signal is lost
or interrupted. Fail-safe is also programmable from the transmitter. A
user-selected throttle setting kicks in if the signal is lost or interrupted.

Other new, exciting features offered by the 2.4GHz 7C
computer system include the “Ailevator” feature in
airplane mode, plus “Governor” and “Swash-to-Throttle”
features in heli mode. The Ailevator feature gives pilots
dual elevator servos for improved flight control, while
the Governor feature lets heli pilots program on-board
governors from their transmitter. Swash-to-throttle mixing
lets heli fliers keep rpm constant in each flight condition
(Normal/Idle-up 1 & 2).
