Futaba 26SZ 26-Channel FASSTest Air Radio System with R7208SB Receiver

The Futaba 26SZ is an advanced 26-channel computerized radio system for airplanes, helicopters, gliders, and multicopters. It combines a bright 4.3-inch color touchscreen, extensive aircraft programming, multiple Futaba 2.4GHz protocols, voice and vibration alerts, and full FASSTest telemetry capability.

This Mode 2 airplane package includes the compact Futaba R7208SB receiver, which provides up to eight conventional PWM outputs, S.BUS and S.BUS2 connectivity, telemetry, dual-antenna diversity, and Dual Rx Link support for an optional secondary receiver.

Package Configuration: This is the airplane version with a ratcheting Mode 2 throttle and one Futaba R7208SB receiver.

Recommended Applications

  • Giant-scale and complex multi-servo airplanes
  • Turbine jets, scale warbirds, and aerobatic aircraft
  • Competition and sport helicopters
  • Powered and unpowered gliders
  • Multicopters and other advanced air models

26SZ Transmitter Features

  • Up to 26 Channels: Provides the control capacity needed for sophisticated aircraft with complex servo, retract, lighting, gyro, and auxiliary functions.
  • FASSTest Bidirectional Communication: Supports control and compatible telemetry data over Futaba's FASSTest 2.4GHz system.
  • Multiple RF Modes: Supports FASSTest 26-channel, FASSTest 18-channel, FASSTest 12-channel, T-FHSS Air, and S-FHSS operating modes.
  • 4.3-Inch Color Touchscreen: Features an HVGA full-color backlit display with a transflective design for improved indoor and outdoor visibility.
  • S.BUS2 Integration: Simplifies complex installations by allowing compatible servos, gyros, and telemetry sensors to share a serial bus connection.
  • Extensive Model Programming: Includes factory programming for airplanes, helicopters, gliders, and multicopters.
  • Aircraft Configuration Support: Provides multiple wing, tail, and helicopter swashplate configurations with model-specific mixing functions.
  • Voice Telemetry: Compatible telemetry values can be announced through the transmitter or commercially available earphones.
  • Vibration Alerts: Timers, warnings, and other assigned functions can activate vibration alerts in addition to audible alarms.
  • SD Card Support: Model data and transmitter software updates can be stored on a compatible SD or SDHC memory card.
  • Rechargeable LiPo Battery: Powered by an included rechargeable 7.4V, 2,000mAh lithium-polymer transmitter battery.
  • User-Updateable Software: Futaba firmware updates can be installed using a compatible SD memory card.

Included R7208SB Receiver Features

  • Eight PWM Outputs: Provides up to eight direct connections for conventional servos, ESCs, retracts, and other compatible equipment.
  • S.BUS and S.BUS2: Supports streamlined serial channel distribution and compatible telemetry sensors.
  • FASSTest Telemetry: Returns receiver and compatible sensor information to the 26SZ transmitter.
  • Dual-Antenna Diversity: Selects between two antenna reception paths to help maintain a dependable control signal.
  • Dual Rx Link: Supports an optional compatible secondary receiver for receiver redundancy.
  • External Voltage Monitoring: Can monitor an external battery of up to 70V when used with the required optional Futaba voltage-sensing cable.
  • Compact Design: Provides advanced receiver features in a lightweight package suitable for many aircraft installations.
Channel Notice: The R7208SB has eight physical PWM output ports. The transmitter's complete channel capacity can be accessed through compatible S.BUS equipment; 26 transmitter channels do not mean the included receiver has 26 individual servo ports.
