Futaba 4PL Manual


Compatible Receivers

• R603GF 2.4G FHSS (3 channel)
• R2104GF 2.4G S-FHSS/FHSS (4 channel)
• R2004GF 2.4G FHSS (4 channel)

The S-FHSS increases the servo response (only available on the R2104GF receiver). The servo response can be selected from high speed (HIGH) and normal (NORM) mode. The high speed mode is exclusively for Futaba's digital servos (including BLS system brushless servo). When using other servos, select the normal mode. All servos, including digital servos, can be used in the normal mode. When the RX type is FHSS(FH), the high speed (HIGH) mode cannot be used.

I have one. The 4PL is awesome. Great value. It is my 2nd favorite radio, behind the 4PKS.

I have a new one on the shelf. Still haven't installed any batteries to see if it even works. Hopefully it does when I am ready to use it.

i have been thinking on selling my Reacts for a 4PK or 4PL. i don't think the 4PL will be any less of a radio than i need, so i cant say i ll be gettign a 4PK for sure at all.

my buddy got one 3 weeks ago. hes been a diehard Speky guy, even with issues on fraking crawlers, he was a specy guy. needless to say, after 1 day with the 4PL, he hates spectrums finially. lol

 

[Killer RC]

Yes, see the light. Futaba is calling your name.
