FEATURES OF MAGNUM SPORT
The Magnum series are pistol grip type of AM 2 channel digital
proportional radio control sets.
TRANSMITTER FP-T2P
@ Human-engineered size and design are easy to use.
@ Wheel angle adjuster. The turning angle of the steering wheel
can be increased and decreased. This allows operation at the
best angle.
© Neutral adjuster. The throttle trigger throttle stroke/brake
deflection stroke (back stroke) can be freely selected to
match the application.
@ Servo reversing switch (steering and throttle) is standard.
Each servo can be reversed from the outside. This is extreme-
ly convenient when connecting the linkages.
@ Since a level meter is provided, battery consumption can be
seen at a glance.
@ Crystals can be changed from the outside on 27MHz only as
itis illegal to do this on 72MHz and 75MHz in U.S.A.
RECEIVER FP-R102GR
e BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuitry) system allows sharing of
the running Nicd battery and eliminates the need for a
regulator and diode.
e Crystal socket uses a new type of highly reliable subminia-
ture pins. Reliability is increased and the crystal can be
changed from the outside.
SERVO FP-S148, S129
@ Motor uses the newest helical type rotor for improved out-
put torque and smooth operation. (S129)
@ These heavy-duty & water/dust tight servos are designed for
use with Futaba digital proportional radio control sets. (S129)
@ New indirect driver potentiometer improves vibration and
shock resistance and increases neutral precision tremendous-
ly.
@ Futaba low-power custom IC provides high starting torque,
narrow dead band, and excellent trackability.
© Fiberglass-reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) in-
jection molded servo case is mechanically strong and in-
vulnerable against glow fuel.
© Strong polyacetal resin ultra-precision servo gear features
smooth operation, positive neutral, and very little backlash.
@ Fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin PC board with thru-the-
hole plating improves servo amp vibration and shock resist-
ance.
@ Thick film gold-plated connector pins eliminate poor contact
and improve reliability against shock and vibration.
@ Special grommet bushing simplifies servo mounting and
improves the cushioning effect.
© Six special adjustable splined horns are available.
@ Maximum output torque of 48.7 0z-in.(3.0kg-cm/3.5kg-cm)
allows
use
in
almost
any
model.
