Futaba 14SG
« on: June 03, 2014, 09:02:32 PM »
I finally moved my Synergy E5 to my new 14SG transmitter... very nice!!
I must say that I am enjoying the feel of this radio and really like using the sBus to the Skookum.

Once I'm all nice and comfy with this setup I will try to use the Skookum's gov instead of the Edge 120.
I'll first try it on my Beam E4.

Just have my Furion 6 left to move to the 14SG, I'm waiting for my new Skookum 720BE to do that.

I've been really happy with my 14SG since day one.  Definitely one of the better purchases that I've made.

I've just updated the firmeware in my 14SG and installed a speaker to hear the battery voltages and timer, really cool.
I agree I think this is the best radio I've ever owned.

I actually prefer using the earbud.

Now I just need to figure out my preferred switch arrangement.

Another happy 14SG owner here!  :D

Made the switch after being a long time JR and then Spektrum user, really liked the CGY750 and it made sense to use it with a Futaba Tx to get the best from it with the SBUS and adjustable gains from the Tx.

The transmitter is very comfortable and has a quality feel. My only minor critisim's about the Tx are a long throttle throw, compared to JR/Spektrum which has a shorter throttle stick throw and the lack of a integrated speaker for Telemetry alerts.

Took a little time to get used to the Futaba way of programming but it is a very cool radio with features leaps and bounds ahead of what i will ever need.  :)

Cheers,
