Whats you talking about

R6014FS Rx / TM-14 Module: January, 2008

As it has been a long time.

its the NATIVE 14MZ FASST that is scheduled for March 2008.

OKerbaul · 12-18-2007, 01:55 AM

If Native means intergrated 2.4 ghz. I believe the March 2008 timetable is when the 14MZ will be released with the 2.4ghz module and receiver included. My understanding it is going to be module based.

I don't think that the FCC can or would sell a frequency band that is in common use. The cell phone industry and computers use 2.4GHz and are a whole lot bigger than Apple will ever be.

The FCC can do whatever it wants to do....

Yeah this sucks...like a lot of people...I have had my name on the waiting list since July 07...I was stupid enough to sell my DX-7 while I was taking a little vacation from the hobby since the end of IRCHA...Now I have 2 heli's I need to put 72MHz RX's back into before going down to BlackSheep over New Years...grrrrrrrr

DebianDog · 12-21-2007, 12:42 PM

I have Rx if you need them.

Greg Alderman · 12-21-2007, 03:24 PM

Thanks Dan...but I have at least two spare G3's in my TX case...was hoping by this time to have like 5 spare sitting in my case because I would be flying the FASST stuff! DOH!

Does anyone know if there is going to be a choice of receivers once you have this Tx module? IOW,will it work with other (<14 channel) fasst receivers for use on mini-helis?

What is the plan for putting the transmitter in its storage case? Remove the module every time? I would rather see a new foam insert offered for the case to fit the whole thing.

MrMel · 12-23-2007, 09:05 AM

Yes it will work with lower channel # receivers, but not with 2048 resolution as I understand it.

That's good to hear.

Looking at the Tower photo I now see that the antenna is hinged, so getting it into the case may be no big deal.

DavidH · 12-23-2007, 09:38 AM

Here is the compability chart

The 12Z/14MZ is listed at the bottom.

in stock/limited quantities
27 dec 07
and the race to get one committed has begun

siwind · 12-27-2007, 06:22 PM

Tower has them in stock-limited quantities.

hoot · 12-31-2007, 11:40 AM

Hopefully the software will be posted soon so I can use it.
Judging by the packaging and lack of updated radio software I get the feeling they really pushed getting this thing out in a hurry.

DavidH · 12-31-2007, 11:57 AM

The update for the 12Z and 14MZ will be posted shortly on the Futaba Fliers Club. Got an email earlier that says it will be posted.

David

Fox222 · 12-31-2007, 01:15 PM

Hoot,
Will the Transmitter fit in the case with the module installed?

hoot · 12-31-2007, 03:51 PM

Yes. Just have to cut an area of the foam for the folded antenna.

Warrick · 01-01-2008, 04:19 AM

Awesome, that is good news. Now to wait for the Aussie distributor to get these into Australia

Thanks for the pictures Hoot!

Hey, guys! Do you mind explaining to me this 2048 stuff?
I mean... Spektrum claims that 2.4 Ghz holds 4096 resolution because it's faster data exchanging... I assume that FASST can reach that speed too, since it's 2.4.
Am I wrong?
So... why do you want 2048 when you have 4096?
Sorry about the dumb question =(
