It’s the flight system pilots have been waiting for: the perfect marriage of the incredible programming power and flexibility of the 14MZ to Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology (FASST) — the most dependable signal transmission technology ever created.
Long before it was ever considered for hobby use, Futaba engineers had already begun using and refining 2.4GHz technology for industrial R/C use. By the time we discovered the hobby potential of 2.4GHz technology, we had over 15 years of experience in 2.4GHz design and manufacturing — a unique advantage that pays off in the premium performance of Futaba FASST systems.
14MZ System Overview:
- DUAL internal processors for flawless reliability.
- PCM G3 2048 resolution for unprecedented speed and precision.
- Full color, touch screen display with Dial-N-Key button. Navigate through menus and make selections by touching the screen or using the Dial-N-Key button.
- 2200mAh Lithium-Ion transmitter battery
- Switch Customizing. Reconfigure the eight 14MZ shoulder switches to your own preference. Just pull out a switch to remove it, and plug in the style you prefer — tall or short, button or toggle, spring-loaded or positionable.
- Stick Customizing-A tension adjustment lets you tailor stick "feel" to your own touch. Dual ball bearings on each axis and a long-life potentiometer ensure smooth, precise control.
- Audio and Picture files-Using a Compact Flash memory card, modelers can upload JPEG picture images of their models that will appear on the LCD screen. Use the built-in mic to record and store up to 24 voice prompts -- like "Landing gear down!" and "Full throttle!" Assign them to specific switches and functions. Then, through the built-in speaker or included earphones, you’ll hear audio confirmations of proper stick movement.
- Compact Flash Card Data Storage & Transfer Increase memory to 100 models. Upload digital images of your aircraft for use as model names on the graphic display menu. Create and store audio files.
- Silky smooth sticks- Each axis is supported by dual ball bearings. Stick tension and detent is adjustable, so airplane and heli modelers can personalize to their preference.
- Preset Model Types Numerous aircraft configurations are already programmed into the 14MZ -- seven wing types and three tail types. That’s a good example of the many built-in "shortcuts" that make this radio so easy to use. Just select the set-up you need!
- Servo Grouping With the 14MZ, you can group multiple servos that control a single function onto one transmitter operation -- but plug the servos themselves into different individually adjustable receiver channels (even non-consecutively) without needing a separate servo synchronizer for mixing.

TM-14 Module
- Futaba put an incredible amount of thought into how well one component fits — and works — with the next. Futaba 2.4GHz modules are no different from any other Futaba transmitter module: they simply plug into place, for fast, solid connections. No extra cords or clutter — just a perfect fit and unparalled performance first-time, every time.
R6014FS Receiver
- 14 channels
- Dual antennas
- Battery fail-safe with auto cut-off
- Designed for Continuous Channel Shifting™ technology
- “Locks” to transmitter’s unique signal with push-button Easy Link™
Customizable Switch Banks (right and left)
- Change location of existing switches, or plug in the style you prefer: long or short, button or toggle, spring-loaded or positionable.
Full-Color HVGA Display
- Cut programming time in half with state-of-the-art touch-screen set-up or use the rotary dial and direct select buttons at the bottom of the screen.
- Start-up screen leads to three function-specific menus:
System — for transmitter functions
Linkage — for model functions that remain constant.
Model — for functions that modify performance based on conditions
- Identify aircraft with digital images alone — or add model names up to 32 characters long.
- Clear, sharp 640 x 240 pixel resolution.
- Displays battery capacity, trim positions, and other critical flight data for fast, at-a-glance reference.
- Anti-glare filter and adjustable screen contrast maximize visibility in any light
Quad-Bearing Gimbals
- with dual bearings on each axis; length, tension and detent adjustments; and long-life potentiometer
Factory-Defined Mixes
- Short-cuts designed to help you save time. The mixes are there – just add settings!
- 24 in all: seven wing mixes, six flying wing mixes, four tail mixes and eight heli swash mixes.
Adjustment Ease
- For finer tuning: ultra-precise 0.5% increments vs. 1% increments in other radios.
- For greater speed: make changes in 5% increments with the “Fast Forward” option.
6 Variable Dual Rates™ (VDR)
- Factory-set rates can be assigned to any function in any flight condition.
- Variable Dual Rates and Expo can be combined and activated automatically
when a function is activated. No program mixing required.
Servo Grouping™
- Allows all servos dedicated to a single function to be operated simultaneously and controlled like a single servo.
- Servos can be plugged into different (even non-consecutive) receiver channels.
- No servo synchronizer required — each servo’s EPA can be adjusted individually from the transmitter.
