TRANSMITTER FP-T2GS
• Contemporary styling with smooth operating gimbals for
superior control.
• 500mW output.
• Battery level meter indicates the state of the battery
voltage at a glance.
• Built-in antenna.
RECEIVER FP-R102GF
•BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuitry) system allows sharing
of the running Nicd battery and eliminates the need for a
regulator and diode.
•High performance 2 channel receiver with ASP system
when used with the proper transmitter.
•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-S128
SMALL, RUGGED. HIGH NEUTRAL SERVO
•Skew type armature motor.
Movement of the trimmer by even one notch is tracked by
a skew type motor which displays a performance near that
of a coreless motor.
•New indirect drive potentiometer improves vibration and
shock resistance and neutral accuracy.
•Futaba low-power custom 1C provides extremely high
torque, narrow dead band, and superior tracking.
•Fiberglass reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate)
injection molded servo case is mechanically strong and
invulnerable to 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.
•Three pin connector eliminates faulty contact and improves
reliability against vibration and shock. Housing has a
reverse insertion prevention mechanism.
•Special grommet simplifies mounting of the servo and has
an excellent cushioning effect.
•Six special adjustable splined horns.
•High 48.7 oz.in (3.5kg-cm) maximum output torque allows
use in almost any model.

HANDLING THE TRANSMITTER
•The name of each part of the transmitter is given in the figure.
Familiarize yourself with their operation.
•Remove the battery cover on the rear of the transmitter as
illustrated in the figure, and insert 8 round penlight batteries,
paying careful attention to their polarity.
•Extend the antenna fully, and set the power switch to the
ON position. The pointer of the level meter should deflect to
the green zone. If it fails to deflect, or deflects slowly, the
polarity of the batteries is incorrect, or the batteries are
faulty.
•Since the range of the radio waves will become short when
the pointer of the level meter deflects to the red zone, re-
place the batteries when the pointer only deflects to the
boundary between the green and red zones.
