Based on the celebrated, multi-time FAI World Champion 91HZ series, the O.S. 91HZ-R sets new standards for heli engines!

The end result is an engine that performs equally well on a full or empty tank. Precise mixture controls – in the form of high- and mid-speed needle adjustment valves – help make it ideal for F3C flying. No matter the application, rest assured that the 91HZ-R will never lack in fuel – or performance! Read the rest of this entry

Stop cable clutter with the innovative Futaba S.Bus system. It uses digital serial data communication technology to transmit control signals between the receiver and servos. A single S.Bus cable can carry signals to as many channels as a transmitter can handle. Don’t worry about plugging in the wrong servo to the wrong channel, because each servo knows what channel it is dedicated to in advance.

S.Bus receivers are limited only by the available number of channels on the transmitter. Don’t have S.Bus servos? No problem. SBD-1 S.Bus Decoder Cables allows the use of existing analog and digital servos, too. The Futaba S.Bus system is nothing short of revolutionary – and the revolution’s just beginning.
