Futaba 6K Transmitter With R3008SB Receiver (Mode 2)
Brand: Futaba
Part No: FUT05003171-3
In Stock: Usually ships same day
The Futaba 6K (FUT05003171-3) pairs an 8-channel Mode 2 transmitter with the R3008SB S.Bus receiver, delivering a robust T-FHSS/S-FHSS air link, telemetry support and intuitive programming across fixed‑wing, glider, helicopter and multirotor models. With 30-model memory, a backlit LCD and ergonomics designed for long flying sessions, it offers a capable, confidence‑inspiring radio system.
S.BUS2 compatibility streamlines installations with fewer leads, while voiced telemetry via the earphone jack, vibration alerts and digital trims enhance situational awareness. Software updates are supported via the optional CIU‑3 interface. Suggested compatibility spans a wide range of typical trainers, sport models, gliders, helicopters and multirotors.
Key Features
- T‑FHSS (Air) and S‑FHSS (Air) protocols with telemetry support
- 8 channels with 30‑model memory and 8‑character model naming
- S.BUS / S.BUS2 device setting direct from the transmitter
- Backlit LCD with contrast adjustment and servo monitor
- Built‑in antenna, vibration alert and throttle position warning
- Earphone jack for spoken telemetry prompts
- Trainer system and free programmable mixers
- Power options: 4x AA dry cells or compatible NiMH/LiFe packs
- Software updatable via CIU‑3 USB interface (sold separately)
Key Programming Features
- Sub‑trim, servo reverse, end point/ATV (30–140%) and fail‑safe
- Exponential, dual rates (AFR), throttle cut and trim settings
- Programmable and pre‑programmed mixers (elevon, V‑tail, aileron differential)
- Elevator↔flap, camber mix, butterfly/airbrake and motor switch
- Twin timers, stick alarm and gyro sensor support
- Helicopter features: swash mixing, swash AFR, pitch/throttle curves, governor gain, throttle hold, revolution mixing, hover throttle/pitch
Telemetry Functions
- Receiver battery voltage displayed in flight
- With optional sensors: temperature, RPM, altitude, voltage, current and capacity

Don t be fooled by the name or the price, the T6K is, in fact, a very capable, telemetry and S.Bus enabled 8-channel, 30 model memory computer radio. Perfect for beginners, returning modellers or those who want a solid second radio as a back-up or rainy day set, this is a winner. With a full 8-channels and a powerful programming feature-set across all four aircraft types (fixed-wing power, gliders, helicopters and multirotors) it s perfect for any number of trainers, sport aerobats, gliders, helis, foamy warbirds, edf jets and much, much more. Designed to sit very comfortably in the hands and with ultra-intuitive programming, the T6K is a transmitter you ll immediately feel at home with and grow to love for its unpretentious functionality, bullet-proof radio link and sheer ease of use
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.
