Beginners Guide to Setting Up a Futaba T6K for Radio Sailing !

We have set out on a journey to produce Radio Sailing Manuals for the main transmitters in use for Radio Sailing.

If you are already a whizz, you won’t need them. If you are a beginner, you will be desperate for them.

So far we have initial versions for Radiomaster Pocket, Spektrum DX6e (courtesy of America MYA) plus Futaba T6K. In good time we hope to write editions for Flysky and Spektrum DX8e.

Transmitters For Beginners 3 : How to Set Up The Radiomaster Pocket Transmitter for Radio Sailing

If you have only just started radio sailing, or are thinking of starting, the world of radio transmitters can feel daunting to say the least. Good news is that you are not alone…

No matter which transmitter brand you go for, the user manuals are bewildering – all about planes, gliders and drones – no mention of radio sailing. Quite honestly it’s a real challenge.

Online, we found the American MYA had some years ago published one manual for Spektrum DX4 and we quite liked the style and structure that they used to address this need.

So we have decided to set out to write our own Radio Sailing Manuals for each of the leading brands, aimed specifically at people who are new to the sport.

It’ll take some time to get them all done, but we have made a start with the “Radiomaster Pocket”, which by the way retails at the time of writing from k7yachts for around £65-£75.

Volunteers to write the equivalent manuals for Futaba, Flysky and Spektrum would be welcome.

Two ways to download the 25 page manual. You can go to a new Category in this website called “Transmitter Manuals” in the category list. Or…
