Planet T7 Transmitter and Receiver Set - Mode 2

The Planet T7 transmitter and R7M micro receiver have been designed for crystal-free operation with Park Flyer, indoor aircraft and small electric-type models. It’s uncomplicated yet sophisticated design makes it an ideal first system or a general purpose sport system for R/C modelling. It uses state-of-the-art computer technology to bind it’s transmitter and receiver in such a fashion that, under most model flying conditions, interference that would normally cause loss of control in 35mHz or 27mHz equipment is nearly always rejected—and in most cases radio functionality is entirely unaffected. This makes for a safer, more reassuring flying experience. It also enables a pilot to turn up, switch on and fly under most conditions—subject to local flying guidelines and rules.
Planet T7 features Advanced 2.4GHz control with a high sensitivity, lightweight 6 gram micro receiver with fantastic range that make it ideal for even the smaller R/C indoor models. The R7M and other Planet single aerial high sensitivity micro receivers are ultra-compact and allow for the same rapid and non-critical installation that we had become accustomed to with 35MHz equipment. You will not have to worry about multi aerial placement with a Planet system.

One-button Binding
2.4Ghz technology creates a ‘bound’ relationship between the Transmitter and Receiver. The setup of this relationship is known as ‘binding’ and can be achieved simply with one click of the R7Ms Binding Microswitch—no fiddly‘binding plugs’ required here.
In a ‘bound’ transmitter/receiver state the receiver is exclusively bound to the transmitter and can only respond to signals received from that transmitter. Binding is done at the factory. Once a transmitter is bound to it’s receiver, re-binding of transmitter and receiver is not normally required.

Planet T7 features:

• Simple one-button transmitter/receiver binding
• Side & rear ergonomic grips for maximum transmitter security
• Steel carry handle and neck strap mount
• Precision, adjustable height dual-axis stick units
• Front-mounted reversing switch panel
• Rotary channel control (channel 6)
• Dual rate (Elevator and Aileron)
• 3 position switch channel (channel 7)
• Unique slow-rate or normal-rate retract/flap switch (channel 5)
• Trainer switch
• Range check button
• Low power consumption 4-cell transmitter
• Lightweight (6 gram) micro 7-channel receiver
• Simple programmable fail-safe function
• Convenient crystal-free operation

The Planet transmitter has been expertly designed and manufactured and incorporates full 4-function control via two silky-smooth dual axis control sticks and 5th 6th & 7th function for lights/retracts, etc., as well as adjustable stick spring tensions (convertible between Mode II (throttle left) and Mode I (throttle right)). The transmitter also features a socket for an optional Flight Simulator cable set, servo reversing switches, LCD battery status display, moulded ergonomic rear and side grips and is powered by 4 AA pencells.
NB. The Planet T7 is not a complete system; other parts must be purchased in order to obtain full functionality from this equipment.

Important note - equipment range
Be aware that Planet T7 is not a ‘full range’ system and should only be used at ranges of up to around 100 metres. Always perform a range check before use! Planet 5 has been tested with many types of models and operated at ranges significantly greater than that recommended. However, 2.4GHz equipment can be affected by terrain, weather and obstacles to a greater degree than conventional 35mHz R/C equipment. Therefore, do not be tempted to exceed the specifications described in detail in the instruction manual!
