R2008SB 2.4GHz S.Bus S-FHSS 8 Channel Receiver Features:
High voltage and S.Bus capability.
One of the quickest receivers available. With a frame rate of only 6.8ms, you get a locked in and connected feeling like no other.
The link procedure is very straight forward.turn on your transmitter, and then the receiver,hold down the link button on the receiver for two seconds, and the receiver will link up with your transmitter
Note:
The 8J transmitter is not compatible with Futaba's FASST line of receivers.
Futaba warns against doing this procedure with many S-FHSS/FHSS transmitters in close proximity, and to double check that you actually are linked with your own transmitter if you do.
Model Setup:
To set the basic parameters of a new model, use the parameter option in the main menu. Here you select type, acro or heli, along with swash type for heli. You can also adjust the settings for the various lights, including timeouts, tones, contrast etc. I found the menus to be easy to navigate and intuitive, most of the functions can be figured out without the use of the instruction manual.
The 8J also features the ability to wirelessly transfer models from one 8J transmitter to another. Under the model transfer menu, you can select to transmit or receive. This can be useful if you want to give your model settings to a friend, or transfer models to a backup transmitter.
Fail Safe
The 8J features a programmable failsafe. By default, all channels except the throttle are set to "normal", which instructs the servos to hold during loss of signal. The throttle by default is set to reduce to 20%. You can preset where you want the servos to go during failsafe.
