Futaba 6K-V3S 8-Ch Heli Transmitter
by Futaba

Take precise command of your rotary-wing aircraft with the Futaba 6K-V3S 8-Channel Heli Transmitter. Re-engineered to offer intermediate and advanced pilots high-tier performance at an approachable price point, the V3S version expands on its predecessor by offering a total of 8 channels (proportional and switched). It operates on Futaba's bidirectional 2.4GHz T-FHSS protocol for rock-solid control security and real-time telemetry tracking, while offering a switchable S-FHSS mode to ensure compatibility with a wide range of legacy receivers. Outfitted with helicopter-optimized toggle layouts and default programming menus, this transmitter provides an incredibly fluid setup experience for everything from micro collective-pitch helis to complex scale platforms and multirotor camera rigs.

The 6K-V3S features a high-contrast, backlit LCD screen paired with an intuitive click-wheel navigation interface to make field modifications effortless. Its comprehensive helicopter programming matrix includes specialized swashplate mixing configurations (including H-1, HR3, HE3, and HN3), 5-point throttle and pitch curves, throttle hold functionality, and dedicated governor/gyro mixing. The radio features built-in haptic vibration feedback and text-to-speech voice telemetry readouts via a 3.5mm headphone port, allowing you to track vital metrics like battery voltage or engine RPM without looking away from your model. This standalone transmitter package is supplied without an included receiver, making it a cost-effective choice for pilots who want to bind a premium radio to an existing fleet of aircraft or add a reliable controller to custom university robotics programs and commercial drone testing stations.
