Futaba 12K-Air 14-Channel Radio with R3008SB Receiver
by Futaba

Take command of your aircraft with the professional-grade Futaba 12K-Air 14-Channel Radio System. Specifically tailored for advanced airplane, helicopter, glider, and multirotor pilots, this highly sophisticated transmitter offers an incredible blend of premium functionality, rock-solid RF performance, and deep customization. Operating on Futaba's bidirectional 2.4GHz T-FHSS frequency-hopping protocol, the 12K provides full real-time telemetry capabilities alongside an option to switch to S-FHSS mode for legacy receiver compatibility. The radio handles 14 channels total (12 proportional and 2 switched), giving you ample control surface management for complex setups like twin-engine scale planes, full-house gliders, and professional multirotor camera rigs.

Ergonomically sculpted to minimize pilot fatigue during long flying sessions, the 12K-Air features a high-visibility backlit LCD screen accompanied by a fluid turn-and-click navigation interface for hassle-free menu adjustments. The radio is equipped with a comprehensive internal telemetry suite that reports critical vehicle health parameters—including flight pack voltage, RPM, temperature, and altitude—directly to the screen. For enhanced safety in the pits or in mid-air, the transmitter incorporates assignable vibration alerts alongside a built-in headphone jack for audible voice telemetry announcements, allowing you to monitor vital statistics without taking your eyes off the aircraft. With its expansive 30-model internal memory, fully assignable switches and sliders, and a robust S.Bus2 routing matrix, the 12K stands as a benchmark control option for scale builders, competitive pilots, academic engineering departments, and commercial sUAS operators.
