[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba R6014FS Receivers

[Jon Lowe]

Spektrum isn't immune either.  I have a non-pattern plane with 
retracts.  My JR retract servo would work great with a 72 mhz receiver 
on 6 volts, and a Spektrum 7 channel receiver at 4.8 volts, but went 
literally nuts at 6 volts on the same receiver.  This is JR's top of 
the line NES-791.  After an unrelated firmware upgrade to the receiver, 
the retract servo would work at 6 volts if it was the only servo on the 
system; not exactly useful.  I finally gave up and bought a JR Sport 
cheapie retract servo, RT-88, which works fine.  Go figure.

The JR servos I tested worked down to about 1.2 volts but the buffer 
amps required about 2.7 volts so they are a on the ragged edge.

I was reading the FAQ section of the Futaba website when a particular 
item caught my eye regarding the R6014FS 2.4 receiver.  The FAQ states 
that the use of non Futaba digital servos with the R6014FS receiver may 
be problematic due to the 6014's lower output voltage of 2.7 volts.  
Since I do occasionally mix and match Futaba and JR servos and
 use the 
8 channel 2.4 receiver, I wondered if this issue was common to all 
Futaba 2.4 receivers.  Here's Futaba's answer: "The FAQ refers only to 
the R6014FS receiver, this is the only one that has the lower 
voltage."  Just thought I'd pass this along in case someone experiences 
performance anomalies with the 6014 receivers using other than Futaba 
servos.
