Futaba 18MZ Quick Look

[@ChunkyC_RC]

Nice video. Hard to believe this radio has been out so long and I'm just now looking to get one.

[@smokingtommy]

nice vid,i have been a Futaba guy all my rc life even when i was a kid with rc cars i had futaba and theTX you have for sure is aTX for life ,sure spec do have a 18TX but its not even close to the futaba18and i can fully understand what you mean when you say the feel of the servos and you can tell if you are using a£3 servo or a£100 servo,this TX is leaps ahead of any otherTX, One thing id say is remember its a lipo inside and take it out when in storage and treat it like any other lipo

[@choppergirl]

What can the mouse be used for? Can you map it to the right joystick? I am wondering if I could fly like in video games with a WASD keyboard style setup for left joystick and Mouse for right joystick. Contrary to what most quad pilots think, it actually works very well. Your WASD keys accellerate your stick in the four directions... so you do have fine grained control.

[@interman7715]

Futaba is so far ahead of the other brands!

[@willbrown8928]

@Dilitha Ranasinghe Garbage, constant boot issues, Android optimization fails taking an hour and pathetic battery life. Sold mine for a T18sz and couldn't be happier.

[@Bobster986]

For $3000.00+ it should come with a case and a Butler! ;-) Happy flying!

[@SixxKicks]

Great Video Big T. I really enjoyed your presentation.

[@pLaCiDMoOoN]

Gorgeous Transmitter Futaba makes some of the best! Futaba has always been my go to brand for years. I currently own a T8FG which is also a outstanding radio! But I'm thinking about buying a new Transmitter for my Quadcpoter build. And I'm tied between the 18MZ or the Duplex Carbon Edition? Thanks for the review.

[@lordnicktheI]

Great video! I have a question though. What feature of the radio increases it's range? Can you increase the range of any radio by somehow modifying it, or would you have to get another radio? I'm not sure how it works.

[@XHELIBIGT]

i absolutly love my futaba radio now :)

[@Heimbasteln]

And the next Version will be able to play movies and has a built in phone

[@Erik740t]

To some of these hating comments, I fly spektrum too and love it. Doesn't mean that you can't appreciate a fine product.

[@ShangriLa523218]

Up,Down, Left and Right is all I need.

[@TheGizmodude]

Silly question but you did not mention a charger? I assume it comes with one? Also can you use an aftermarket lipo, provided it has the right connector and fits? Nice video ! Thanks

[@claudioagmfilho]

great video i am from Recife in Brazil south america and this is a great video ...

[@074-Evolution]

Hi there, I noticed your cd button is in the neutral position, did it come that way..? im asking because mine didnt, plus it was 6% already preset programed... im just trying to find out if this is normal.. thanks Chris

[@purge98]

The radio is in upside down in the case. Can you turn it around?

[@aquasport3078]

Thanks for making this video, and I've just purchased one for my self too. One thing I ran into is that if I insert a SD card in there, and when I move the elevator/aileron stick, it will beep, but if I remove the card, everything back to normal. Have you run into this problem, if yes, how did you fix it?

[@Twlight-Astrophotography]

I am currently using a dx9 for my blade 550x what do you think of this combo? Nice radio

[@danielamayacristancho8324]

Hi. recently I bought a Futaba T18MZ for my car robot, Im trying to configure the voltage sensor and pwm output, could you helpme with that

[@Mateyhv1]

Daniel Fdo Amaya Cristancho No

[@HIFONICSM3]

Great video my friend !!! What will you recommend the SPEKTRUM DX-9 or THIS REMOTE ??? I am new to all this just recently learned how to fly a CP HELI :) and I'm still learning !! But i currently have a DX-6i and the screen sucks :( and I'm a NUB AT ALL THIS BUT YOUR HELP WILL HELP ME ALOT :) thanks

[@user-gs6mr9gj9g]

Where is the camera????

[@pstamatiadis1986]

since the user manual allows you to add/remove pages it's worth the money...:)

[@danzigwraith8803]

futaba simply the best cool video man !!!

[@buipautog9515]

Is this compatible w/ tbs crossfire?

[@Nykkytta]

Thank you Antonio.

[@CV_CA]

3:15 Seems like it is upside down.

[@rctezluh42069]

just bought an 8fg super.......only way i would buy this is if it comes with lifetime replacement/service. because if i spent 3k on a radio it would for sure be the last radio ever bought.

[@geoffjenkins7010]

To those knockers of the 18 MZ radio you obviously cannot afford it.

[@johnsmith-on4bj]

+Geoff Jenkins What a typical alpha male comment. Enjoy flying round in left hand circles.

[@geoffjenkins7010]

Haha, Love it when people take the bait.

[@mikesmith5375]

The next version will connect by bluetooth, have autopilot standard for take off, fly, and landing all by voice control. The NEXT big improvement will be artificial intelligence of the remote. It should NOW have FPV standard onboard! Still a NICe radio and the DX18 TOO!

[@eranbw]

Great video!

[@youronlycow]

It's seriously a mobile phone or computer into a transmitter. It has the date, time and wow lol!

[@Tomi-qr1wh]

How do you add your name?

[@Erik740t]

Lucky man. Omg I would love to hqve that.

[@MrMikepaniora]

so much mixing, cool man

[@8995Ryan]

So basically a tx with a smart phone built in ..... 3000 is bait expensive don't you think?

[@DaveBeach2010]

Very nice

[@bohan9957]

7 minutes into the video and he finally turns it on

[@borjassrc]

muy bien antonio!!!

[@Sam-w9des]

PRICE HOLDS ME BACK SO GUESS ILL NEVER OWN ONE I LOVE IT THOUGH

[@DodongWerkzPh]

how much?

[@supernotlikeme]

The Battery drops really quick

[@dons8096]

AND the battery is $170.00

[@javieruriel]

How much do you paid for it?

[@rolo9570]

Around 3k I guess...

[@basilyousif3077]

For those who cannot afford it look at the 16SZH

[@juanleonardozuniga2717]

price amigo

[@seagramrip187]

Nice radio

[@SADIESL]

only negative thing I've seen is the battery life is not that great...but that is if you are trying to setup a new plane and fly say all in the same day.

[@DodongWerkzPh]

futaba T18mz+reciever+jetcat turbines+the unit=$$$$$$$$$$$$

[@adammcintee4439]

I am a surface guy but that is a nice radio

[@MultiShawnt]

It looks like a FFFasstest Ferrari ! 🐅

[@heliscat]

Overkill, but I suppose if you want to impress others at the field...

[@77Avadon77]

Or maybe you're just more serious and more committed than others to the profession.

[@peterpana3176]

@@77Avadon77 by listening to music whilst you fly lol

[@franciscobanquero5519]

exelent!!!!!!

[@davybloggs1564]

5 mins before it comes out of the damn box!!! Why is it upside down in the case?? I suggest you re-do this. Single switch on doesn't work!

[@pittsburge88]

That's how it is shipped from Futaba, my friend!

[@renandobarrozo798]

nice!

[@saleemkhutaba7267]

are you crazy buying 3000$ rc radio ? futaba 14SG more than enough

[@dtiydr]

Bootup on a Tx. You didnt hear that in the 80 or 90-ties. :)

[@Mateyhv1]

Boot up is not pretty quick, its pretty slow.

[@panason007]

good

[@beliterc]

Just so you guys know, it's rcdepothobbies(dot com)

[@Yonex333]

Ok its a nice radio, i love to get one, but... for 200€ Taranis beats anything!

[@fafalovaify]

i came because of aou haru ride

[@markpark9539]

ill stick to my sx8 an jr x11

[@TonesAtTinwell]

18 em zed

[@coxfuture]

what the hell could possibly make this worth $3000 put your phone in a transmitter, make it compatible with an app. same thing for under $1000

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

I hope the futaba 24mz has a computer and a phone so you can buy your spare parts if you crash and still have the usual radio setup maybe add a decent amplifier to play music aswel

[@loganspencer4544]

Is it a radio or a fucking computer I mean,it looks like a space age time machine

[@iosxbetax]

+Logan Spencer A computerized radio, DUH!

[@jbhebbel]

Seriously doubt that

[@wallaguest1]

so horrible screen, for that price they could use an IPS screen at least, looks like crap, and the speed to boot up is super slow, must be instant boot like any radio... can it be seen under the sun this crappy LCD ?

[@JosefNavarroG]

beauti

[@JohnStenborg]

...the most expensive asian plastic toy ever...and i could never program an futaba freely...changed to jeti 6 years ago and still...gave up frsky after the access fiasko...now jeti duplex for safety on large planes and opentx with radiomaster for everything else...

[@fakkma]

3000$ in radio.... 500$ in plane ;())

[@leoncechrist]

Very expensive radio good luck.

[@russellp1982]

Ha ha $3000 dollar controller flying a $200 dollar trainer

[@kanarimentos7056]

[@interman7715]

Are you kidding ,I have 3 futaba radios, and never had a dropout ,very easy to program, tried a spectrum dx9 just out of curiosity, lost 4 planes felt cheap as well

[@kanarimentos7056]

[@kanarimentos7056]

[@interman7715]

Do you mean the 8fg ,if so do a google search for " futaba 8fg supplementary notes" an english guy put this out ,I used this to help me with my 14sg which is basically the same programming, it takes over where the futaba manual falls short.Once you get the hang of it futaba programming is quite easy ,hope this helps ?

[@kanarimentos7056]

your friend but still not find i search every were i could not find any help

[@saleemkhutaba7267]

are you crazy its about 3000$

[@sachabasile8464]

Saleem Khutaba

[@yasu90]

with the price of this you buy a real car not a rc car

[@guitarman10000005]

It's not made for cars, it's for airplanes and helicopters

[@yasu90]

+guitarman10000005 i know, it was just a comparison

[@guitarman10000005]

Oh ok

[@Android811]

+guitarman10000005 His comparison wouldn't work if he used aircraft! lol

[@ramboaripratama1992]

like a toy !

[@johnsmith-on4bj]

Strictly for the alpha male fliers only. Big on wallet, low on flying ability. And a full three minutes to open the box?

[@pittsburge88]

Yet, another Hater!

[@77Avadon77]

STFU John if you had the money you'd buy this too.

[@oc_airwolf2156]

RC Depot are bunch of rude snobby *?>*&*. Worst customer service!

[@cllaurit]

Waste of money
