Features
FASST-2.4GHz system
The T8FGS transmitter is capable of transmitting in both FASST-2.4G 7-ch and Multi-ch modes. Select
the desired modulation mode in the Frequency Menu. For complete details on how to do so, please refer to
the Frequency Selection section located elsewhere in this manual. The compatibility is dependent upon the
receiver selected. The R6208SB receiver is capable of controlling models up to 8(eight) channels by using
the outputs for conventional system and up to 14(fourteen) channels including the 2(two) digital channels
by using the output for S.BUS system. R6208SB has two (2) operation mode as shown below.
Receiver: Normal mode/High Speed mode
The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos or the peripherals as the frame rate of the output is 14ms.
The "High Speed mode" only accepts the digital servos for outputs from 1ch to 6ch. This includes the BLS
series, and most peripheral equipment such as gyros and brushless ESCs. The frame rate of the outputs is
7ms. The outputs for other channels indicated allow the use of any type of servos as the frame rate of these
outputs are still 14ms on the High Speed mode.
FASST-2.4GHz system features:
• 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum radio communication system.
• Exclusive ID code to avoid interference from other FASST systems.
• Fail Safe (F/S) function (for throttle channel at 7-ch mode)-F/S, Battery F/S
• Dual antenna diversity (R6208SB)
• Normal mode or High Speed mode is selectable (R6208SB)

Model types
Six swash types are available for helicopters. Six types of main wings and three types of tail wings are
available for airplanes and gliders. Functions and mixing functions necessary for each model type are set in
advance at the factory.
Data input
Large graphic LCD and new type Touch Sensor substantially improve ease of setup.
Stick
New stick design with improved feel, adjustable length and tension.
Ni-MH battery
T8FGS is operated by a 7.2 V/1,700 mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride battery.
SD card (Secure Digital memory card) (Not included)
Model data can be saved to an SD card (32MB-2GB). When T8FGS transmitter software files are
released, the software can be updated by using an SD card update.
(*)Since these receivers have few ports, S.BUS is used for them when using many channels.
