       This is the 72MHz Futaba 12FGA Computer Radio on Mode 2 with the
                  R5114DPS Synthesized 14-Channel Receiver.
                         Does not include servos.

    This is the airplane version which will default to airplane settings
             when powered up and has a ratcheted throttle stick.

    If your transmitter's region code is something other than the United
 States,the TM-14 Module sold in the United States is not compatible with this
   transmitter.  As such, it is necessary to purchase the TM-14 module which
                matches the region code of the transmitter.

         The Futaba 12FGA shares many features with the 14MZ such as
                       Real-Time Response with 2048PCM,
   Fully Synthesized Receiver that operates in either Mode A (standard Mode)
                             or Mode B (new Mode),
                 Servo Grouping, Variable Dual Rates and
                           Quad-Bearing Gimbals

FEATURES:
          PCM G3 2048 resolution is "backwards compatible" with 1024 PCM, and
            FM/PPM
          10 free (user programmable) mixes
          24 preset model types, 8 heli swash types and 16 model types for
            fixed wing aircraft
          6 types of no tail wing (winglet) in each airplane and glider
          Supports eight flight conditions (seven plus the default)
          FLASH-ROM memory for up to thirty models
          8-charcter model naming
          1882 model memory available with optional 1GB SD Card
            available separately,
          Six factory-set Variable Dual Rate (VDR) curves can be assigned to
            any function in any flight condition configuration
          Variable Dual Rates (VDR) and Expo can be combined so they are
            automatically activated when a function is activated, no program
            mixing required
          Dual Antenna Diversity (DAD)
          "Full Functionality" trainer system
          255 x 96 LCD with adjustable contrast
          7.2V 1700mAh NiMH transmitter battery
          R5114DPS Receiver;
            Operates in either Mode A (standard Mode) or if flying a model
            that generates a lot of RF interference or if flying in an area
            where interference may occur Mode B (new Mode) may be selected
            By using state-of-the-art Ball Grid Array (BGA) layered PC board
            technology, this 14-channel synthesized receiver is the world's
            smallest. All pilots will appreciate how easy its
            WFSS (Wireless Frequency Setting System) makes changing
            frequencies at busy airfields. It can be done right from the
            transmitter without changing crystals.
          Servo Grouping;
          Multiple servos controlling a single function can be set up
            through the transmitter and then plugged into differently
            adjustable receiver channels (even non-consecutively) without
            needing a separate servo synchronizer for mixing. Each servo's
            EPA can be adjusted individually from the transmitter-no separate
            servo synchronizer requires for mixing
          Quad-Bearing Gimbals for smoothest motion and response, stick tension
            and detent are adjustable
          Front mounted slider switches for easier access
          Seven color LED indicator
