What receiver do you use with your Futuba T8FG super?

[Steve Townsend]

The options I have are R6208SB or R6014HS? I am using a Wookong WKM.

I think they are both 14 CH receivers but the first is SBus which will work with the Wookong.

Thanks

Hello

Here is some sort of overview of different FUTABA receivers.... http://www.futaba-rc.com/receivers/air.html

When you use S-Bus (R6208SB) with WooKong, you only have to connect 1 cable...but you can't connect anything else, since the traditional connectors are just mirror channels of the S-Bus, so if you want to connect other components of your bird, you might need a second receiver. There are various ways to do that.
When you use the R6014HS with WooKong, you have to connect each WooKong channel with one channel on your R6014HS, but you can use the remaining channels for something else...like a camera gimbal.

Thanks Chris

Now I understand the advantage of the 6014. Brilliant you gave me exactly what I needed to know. I'll change the R6208 sbus I got as a package with the T8FG for the 6014. A single receiver makes more sense!!

Steve,

I am new to this so wait till someone else says yes but .........

If you are after a few extra outputs and not looking to spend as much .. how about http://www.kingslynnmodelshop.co.uk...ium=shopping&utm_campaign=xigen_shopping_feed

This will decode sbus to 3 standard outputs .. you would need a hub as well but in all will cost a lot less then the 6014

Cheers Richard many thanks for you input but I have bought the R6014HS today!

This reply might be a little late but if you have SBus2 (now that DJI finally supports it) you can use R7008SB connecting SBus port to WKM and have the channel port on the receiver listen to channel 9-16. which essentially, turns it into a 16 channel receiver.

Correct, Sir
