S.BUS2 SYSTEM
Multiple servos, gyros and telemetry sensors can be easily installed with a minimum of cables.
TELEMETRY SYSTEM
The voltage of the on-board battery is displayed on screen during flight whilst altitude, temperature, RPM, current and voltage can also be displayed by installing optional telemetry sensors.
SPEECH
Voiced telemetry data can be heard by plugging commercial earphones into the transmitter.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
Software updates can be made using the CIU-3 USB interface (sold separately).
VIBRATION ALERT
The operator can be notified of selected warnings by vibrating the transmitter.
INTUITIVE PROGRAMMING
Model-specific programming and editing has never been easier.
S.BUS / S.BUS2 DEVICE SETTING
Servos or a telemetry sensor can be connected directly to the T6K where channel setting and other data can be entered for S.BUS / S.BUS2 servos or sensors.
DIGITAL TRIMS
Rapid trimming during flight is possible with an audible indication of the centre point. The step size can also be arbitrarily changed with trim position displayed on the LCD.

How does the telemetry system enhance flight monitoring?
The integrated telemetry system in the Futaba FUT05003171-3 telemetry radio with S.Bus2 support provides real-time feedback on critical flight data. Pilots can monitor receiver battery voltage, altitude, RPM, temperature, and current directly from the transmitter’s LCD screen. With support for five telemetry sensor types, the system ensures accurate diagnostics and performance tracking. The telemetry protocol operates on Futaba’s T-FHSS standard, offering stable bidirectional communication and compatibility with commercial earphones for voiced alerts.
Why is S.Bus2 compatibility important for advanced setups?
The Futaba air transmitter with LCD screen and trainer system supports S.Bus2, allowing multiple servos, gyros, and telemetry sensors to be connected with minimal cabling. This reduces weight and complexity in aircraft builds and enables direct device configuration from the transmitter. Whether you're setting up a glider with multiple control surfaces or a helicopter with advanced gyro integration, S.Bus2 ensures streamlined installation and precise control mapping.
How do programmable mixers and swash presets simplify setup?
The Futaba T6K-V3S with programmable mixers and swash presets includes five fixed-wing types, two tail configurations, and six helicopter swashplate options. These presets eliminate the need for manual mixing setup, allowing pilots to select the appropriate configuration and begin tuning immediately. The transmitter also supports pre-programmed mixers such as elevon, V-tail, butterfly, and camber mix, making it ideal for gliders and aerobatic aircraft. Custom mixers can be created for specialized control logic, offering flexibility across all model types.
What makes the interface intuitive and responsive?
The backlit LCD screen on the Futaba FUT05003171-3 T6K-V3S air radio Mode 2 provides clear visibility of telemetry data and menu settings. Digital trims offer audible feedback and customizable step size, while the trainer system enables dual-control setups for instructional use. Vibration alerts notify users of alarms without requiring visual confirmation, and the earphone jack allows telemetry data to be heard during flight. These features combine to create a user-friendly interface that supports both casual and competitive flying.
Why is the T6K-V3S ideal for sport and training applications?
The Futaba FUT05003171-3 8-channel transmitter with R3008SB is designed for pilots who need a dependable, feature-rich system for sport flying, training, or backup use. With 30-model memory, programmable mixers, and support for multiple aircraft types, it adapts easily to a wide range of flying styles.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
