14-Channel Computer Radio

TM

A custom Futaba processor directs allcritical flight control functions. Input forgeneral operating tasks — such as set-upand programming — is processedseparately by Windows CE.

Full-Color Touch Screen

The HVGA screen features crystal-clear 640x240pixel resolution. Transflective technology —layered transparent and reflecting surfaces —plus adjustable backlighting and contrast makeit easy to read even in direct sunlight.

R5014DPS Receiver

Uses state-of-the-art Ball Grid Array(BGA) layered PC board technology.WFSS (Wireless Frequency SettingSystem) simplifies frequency changes— make them right from thetransmitter, without changing crystals!

Windows Media Player

Save WMA (Windows Media Audio) files on theCompact Flash card and listen to them throughearphones or the transmitter’s built-in speaker.

Longer Sound File Playback

Want to fly to recorded music or verbal sequences?Establish your sequence, record it as a digital WMA file,load it onto the CF card…and with the card in yourtransmitter, assign the file to a switch for playback.

Servo Grouping

Each servo’s EPA can beadjusted separately, so thatcontrol surfaces requiringmultiple servos can beprogrammed to worksimultaneously without aseparate servo synchronizer.

Compact Flash Card Data Storage and Transfer

32MB Compact Flash card lets youincrease memory to 100models…upload digital images of youraircraft for the display menu…or createand store audio files.

Intuitive Programming

The graphic interface makes it easyto navigate through programmingoptions. From the startup screen,three secondary menus logicallyseparate and organize differentprogramming categories. Moving frommenu to menu takes only a touch.

Real-Time Response TM

Breakthrough PCM G3 2048 enablesservos to pick up the slightest stickmovements. Frame rate is 40%faster than even Futaba’s 9Z —contributing to response soimmediate, it feels like “real time.”Note: The 14MZ can also transmit in 1024 PCM and FM/PPM.

Switch Customizing

Reconfigure the eight 14MZshoulder switches to your ownpreference. Just pull out aswitch to remove it, and plug inthe style you prefer — tall orshort, button or toggle, spring-loaded or positionable.

Stick Customizing

A tension adjustment lets you tailor stick “feel” to yourown touch. Dual ball bearings on each axis and a long-life potentiometer ensure smooth, precise control.

Innovative technologies developed specifically for the 14MZ!

Dual Internal Processors

Voice Prompts

Record up to 24 voice prompts on the CF card by speakinginto the transmitter’s built-in mic. Assign them to specificswitches to hear audio confirmation — such as “Landinggear down!” — when you move the control.

Like no radio system before it, the 14MZ is a complete,multi-media experience. In addition to groundbreakingradio technology, it employs state-of-the-art digitalsound and graphic capabilities tomake controlling youraircraft more preciseand interactive thanever before.

• Plug-in swivel antennawith antenna storage intransmitter base.

Pre-Programmed Mixes

• Seven wing types, 4 tail types, and 3 motortypes are already programmed into the 14MZ.

• Built-in shortcuts save programming time —just select the set-up you need!

Finely Tuned Setting Adjustments

• Adjustments are made in ultra-precise 0.5%increments, compared to the 1% of other radios.

• “Fast forward” option makes setting changesmore quickly, in larger 5% increments.

Variable Dual Rates™ (VDR)

• Six factory-set Variable Dual Rate (VDR)curves can be assigned to any function in any flight condition configuration.

• Variable Dual Rates (VDR) and Expo can becombined so they are automatically activatedwhen a function is activated — no programmixing required.

• Highly graphic, full color display — can use digital images of youraircraft as model names, along with 32-character model naming.

• Clear, 640x240 pixel resolution.

• Anti-glare filter and adjustable screen contrast.

• Monitor battery capacity, trim positions, and other criticalparameters with a glance.

• Cuts programming time in half.

• Editing can also be done byDial-N-Key to scroll and select.

Servo Grouping™

• Multiple servos controlling a single function can be conveniently grouped onto one transmitter operation.

• Servos can be plugged into different receiver channels, even non-consecutively.

• Each servo’s EPA can be adjustedindividually from the transmitter so that no separate servo synchronizer is needed for mixing.
