I know you got into the back and mentioned the ratcheting arm, but you didn't mention the actual sticks. You can tighten or loosen the springs attaching the sticks to make them harder or softer to control. At 29:25 you can see the spring and the screw directly above that. On the other side there are 2 that look directly like this. Just tighten/loosen per your comfort level.
As with most Futaba radios, the 8J's switches are mounted on small circuit boards. This means swapping switches is not a simple matter of unscrewing their bezels and moving them. Furthermore, the 8J's switch boards are left and right handed, so you also can't swap E/F with G/H. About the one thing you could do if you have the skills would be to unsolder E and replace it with a 3-position switch. If not, I'd probably just get used to using G where it is.
Thanks, Good Info! I rarely use the range check mode, I just done trust any system to restore normal range electronically. When range checking, I normally walk to the end of the field in normal mode while someone watches the model.
Now this is one great video. Thank you. I'm sold on it. I've been wanting to move up a little from my DX6i. This seems like it would fit the bill perfectly. Thanks again. (Tom)
Excellent stuff. I just bought a T10J along with its nightmare manual - learnt more from this T8J video! It's people like you who help people like me to turn what seems a mountain into a molehill. So thanks for that. Naturally, one has subscribed.
8J & 10J are outstanding radios ! Never a single issue with either ,EVER ! Hundreds of flights and not a single issue ! Worry free flying, 48" electrics or big gas aerobatic and warbirds, I trust these two transmitters 110% . Pretty sure Rich is flying Spektrum now , pretty much doesn't have a say in the matter .Horizon owns FMS ,Spektrum, ...soooo.
Nice Review. FYI - When in the menus most settings can be reset back to Factory default by pressing + and - at the same time. This includes the Trims, D/R Expo, End Point, Sub Trim, Trim Adjust and Parameters. The LED on top of the radio is not just there to show who's radio is who's it also changes to purple when doing a range test "Power Down Mode" so if you use the LED for radio identification you may not want to use purple. :)
If i were to guess, it is probably not the transmitter but the receiver that may not handle the AMP DRAW! Check the specs on the amp draw of the 2008SB receiver and a higher end Futaba receiver and compare the AMP draw limits.... several 1/4 scale servos may be to much for the receiver.
perhaps it will work fine on both.... what are you trying to achieve? There seems to be several applications for that charger.... It works great for me!
Another nice job Rich, just a question. I use the 8J to fly multirotors , I've never tried it without the ratchet style throttle. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to switch it to the non ratchet setup?
Hello thanks for the well informed tutorial. I fly multirotor and the guy that sold me this radio sold me the airplane version instead of heli.. so the switch E only has 2 positions. Do you think that is possible to open up the controller and switch the switch E with switch G around ? I know there is a way to switch from Mode 1 to Mode 2 throttle gimbal but not sure if it's possible for the Switch E and G. Thanks
RCINFORMER Right on. I want to start using more channels and I might get this transmitter. I'm new and I'm glad I went with Futaba. Buddy of mine went Spektrum and he is having a lot of problems.
Yes, the (4) stands for 4 Cells (4.8 Volts). A given Battery must be charged at a higher voltage than the rated voltage of the battery. This is the charger I use to charge my 8J thru the radios charge port. If you charged a 4.8 battery at 4.8 volts the battery will not take the charge....voltage kinda flows down hill:)
Tower has the HBC-3(4) listed as standard equipment for the 4PK using the HT5F1700B 5 cell 6.0V battery pack. 4 x AA Alkaline = 6.0V. "Voltage Going Down Hill"?
Thank you so much! I always thought my 8J is too complicated but now I get it and I will go through all the features and program the switches. I appreciate that in-depth user guide. It helped me a lot! :D
Does the center pot at the top works as a one-axis servo pot, like on of the joystick, or it's used only for special functions? I wish you could have move that pot while on the servo screen menu.
It can be assigned to anything. Yes, you can assign it to a single servo. On airplanes, assign it to the nose wheel and then slave the nose wheel to the master rudder channel, this allows me to trim the nosewheel on the ground without affecting the rudder:)

I’m sure you have figured this out after 8 years but if someone else is reading this and needs the question answered - the airplane version has the ratchet on the throttle , the heli version has a smooth throttle but I use my heli version on my airplanes, boats and helicopters!
Hi. Thanks for the nice video. Can I link two R2008SB receivers with this radio? I'm making a two parts camera robot that can be used either together or separately. That's why I want to link two receivers: I'm using a HPI baja for doing the front/back movement and some other linear servos to do the lifting arm. I wanna be able to take the hpi baja out and use it by itself. Is it possible to use dual receivers with this radio? thanks a lot
Can you help, i have futaba t8j and futaba receiver r3008sb but im struggling to bind. Any pointers? The radio is set to s-fhss butthe reciever says T-fhss. All im getting is red flashing l.e.d
We are talking about rechargeable Nimh or nicad packs, they are not Alkaline..... 4 x 1.2 Volts per cell + 4.8 Volts..... 6 Volts would be 5 X 1.2 volts per cell....
The instruction manuals for both radio and charger contradict each other! I speculate that the radio manual may be incorrect. I use the HBC-3B(4) charger constantly to charge the 4 cell Nimh pack without removing it from the radio. Would you use a 6v charger to charge a 12volt battery? Most chargers put out more voltage that the battery they are charging or the battery will not take a charge.... its just physics man...
I have a question on the motion RC .com site the futaba 8j the description says that it has Elevon but the 10j description doesn't say Elevon now does the 10j comes with Elevon tanks and also what is your personal opinion spectrum dx9 or futaba 10j tanks again

Not sure, i have not watched it that close. i usually just leave it overnight and unplug it in the morning... but I don't think light goes out at all once it is plugged in... I think you have to unplug it to stop charging.
Hello, My uav is powered by 24 volts on mains (220 to 24). In manual control, it keeps its power and stays at 24 volts. In Atti and GPS, it goes down to 10 volts. Is there a setting to increase the power in Atti and GPS? Thanks for your help :-)
Dont mean to sound dumb, a friend of mones is selling a T7C for 73.00 so it not just a simple toy. my QUESTION IS what is it for, why do ppl buy it.or need it. I know it a control but why do ya buy it.. im waiting from ebay as i speak a F103 Avatar 4CH Remote Control RC USB Mini Helicopter /w Gyro Blue,CAN I USED THIS FOR THAT. WHAT WILL IT DO...
Would a 6 axis gyro work with this system?? You should do a video on that.. I want to see if i can install one in the fms f7 tiger cat... Also, your videos are freaking awesome and very informative! I might have to subscribe.
does anything use Futaba anymore ? I'm trying to get a small heli for flying around my yard and everything is Spektrum this Spektrum that.... Did something happen with Futaba . I wanted to build up a small scale model of an Apache or Airwolf or local state police heli... but I find no scale bodies either just boring canopies....Always thought Futaba was the best and I could get a truck, boat, plane and heli with the one radio..... anybody?
Sold - thanks for the in depth review - was considering a turnigy 9x - this Futaba is 4 times the price, but from what I see, it looks easy to program and quality built. I'll be flying a couple of multirotors with this radio, so I figured a good quality radio is a good start :) Can one use a LiPo or LiFe pack in place of the nimh? I assume a diode or 2 would be needed to drop the voltage. Cheers.
Probably ok to use a lipo, but not sure.... I have flown about 35 models on the 8J now, my only complaint about it is that I need more model memories for all my reviews, but that is not a problem for most:)
Hehe yeah wont be a problem for me - I'll just be flying a few multies, a plane perhaps, and I might even throw an RX into a car/truck and drive it old skool like, with sticks instead of the usual trigger and wheel ;)
Yeah I know the difference between rechargeable and alkaline. I'm asking who is correct? You or Tower/Hobbico? This is why I asked about the "Voltage going down hill"???
Thanks for answering. I have difficulty with the servos, they respond late. When entering power mode and then servo test work perfectly, but returning to the main menu reappears the problem. Can somebody help me?. Thank you very much
Spektrum is easier to program than Futaba,this probably being they are geared toward the novice in general. Ease of programming is useless if it doesn't retain a reliable link to your aircraft. You won't find many large scale airplane or jet pilots that will touch Spektrum unless they are in someway being compensated by them. Pilots in the know will usually favor Futaba and JR mostly. These radios are much more capable of setting up complex aircraft with a high number of servos. Spektrum's programming just isn't up to the task and just doesn't have a robust enough link between transmitter and receiver to be trusted in multi thousand dollar aircraft.
man my story i buy 3 trex 40 and 550 almost i have them 1 year i play with futaba control now i am not able to program control no help even on park they told me trash futaba i am stock my futaba t8fg 8 chanell swash work but motor dont spin lol
I hate to hear that. Futaba's programming can be difficult to navigate until you become familiar with it. I would love to help you get your transmitter programmed properly but unfortunately I use the Futaba 14sg and I'm only familiar with airplane programming. Good luck and fly safe. The effort to learn Futaba's way of doing things will pay off because it really does have one of the most trusted and reliable transmitter to receiver links in the industry. I wish you the best.
It is top notch! I have already lapped my model 20 Model memory once while using this radio for ALL my reviews.... I have put it thru its paces in my reviews with flawless performance....
Your funny,Spektrum is for people that like to buy bind and fly toy junk. I speak from experience when I tell you that I made the huge and costly mistake of trusting a DX-8 with the ar8000 receiver in a 25% Super Decathlon. It resulted in a brown out destroying a $1000 airframe. I switched to a Futaba 14sg and have never looked back and haven't lost an aircraft since. I wouldn't trust a Spektrum transmitter in a toy truck from Wal-Mart.
I know you got into the back and mentioned the ratcheting arm, but you didn't mention the actual sticks. You can tighten or loosen the springs attaching the sticks to make them harder or softer to control. At 29:25 you can see the spring and the screw directly above that.

Hi, your review is very good. I'd like to confirm that you can't change the channels assignments on channels 1 to 4. Only 5 to 8. Is that right?

I'll be flying a couple of multirotors with this radio, so I figured a good quality radio is a good start :) Can one use a LiPo or LiFe pack in place of the nimh? I assume a diode or 2 would be needed to drop the voltage. Cheers.
Probably ok to use a lipo, but not sure.... I have flown about 35 models on the 8J now, my only complaint about it is that I need more model memories for all my reviews, but that is not a problem for most:)
Hehe yeah wont be a problem for me - I'll just be flying a few multies, a plane perhaps, and I might even throw an RX into a car/truck and drive it old skool like, with sticks instead of the usual trigger and wheel ;)
Yeah I know the difference between rechargeable and alkaline. I'm asking who is correct? You or Tower/Hobbico? This is why I asked about the "Voltage going down hill"???
Can I restore the Futaba T8J radio to factory state?
cgaxtreme10 I think there is a reset in one of the menus.
Thanks for answering. I have difficulty with the servos, they respond late. When entering power mode and then servo test work perfectly, but returning to the main menu reappears the problem. Can somebody help me?. Thank you very much
I made a short video about the problem, I appreciate any collaboration.

Thanks this helped alot
Thanks . For neewb like me in flight rasios i learned how to do.

Excellent review!! Thank-you...
Nothing, It is called the "8J". I think the "T" just means transmitter
Probably, but not sure.... why would you want to do that

Crankestein Loskon Nice language :)
Hell Jesus fuck, ja ja!
.i do have futaba i just trashe,t sucks radio spektrum is better than futaba quality more better easy to setup
Spektrum is easier to program than Futaba,this probably being they are geared toward the novice in general. Ease of programming is useless if it doesn't retain a reliable link to your aircraft. You won't find many large scale airplane or jet pilots that will touch Spektrum unless they are in someway being compensated by them. Pilots in the know will usually favor Futaba and JR mostly. These radios are much more capable of setting up complex aircraft with a high number of servos. Spektrum's programming just isn't up to the task and just doesn't have a robust enough link between transmitter and receiver to be trusted in multi thousand dollar aircraft.
man my story i buy 3 trex 40 and 550 almost i have them 1 year i play with futaba control now i am not able to program control no help even on park they told me trash futaba i am stock my futaba t8fg 8 chanell swash work but motor dont spin lol
I hate to hear that. Futaba's programming can be difficult to navigate until you become familiar with it. I would love to help you get your transmitter programmed properly but unfortunately I use the Futaba 14sg and I'm only familiar with airplane programming. Good luck and fly safe. The effort to learn Futaba's way of doing things will pay off because it really does have one of the most trusted and reliable transmitter to receiver links in the industry. I wish you the best.
later will send you video about my problem hope u will help me man thanks a lot
futaba piece crap dont buy go for spektrum
It is top notch! I have already lapped my model 20 Model memory once while using this radio for ALL my reviews.... I have put it thru its paces in my reviews with flawless performance....
I have now used 30+ models on my 8J..... it Rocks!
Your funny,Spektrum is for people that like to buy bind and fly toy junk. I speak from experience when I tell you that I made the huge and costly mistake of trusting a DX-8 with the ar8000 receiver in a 25% Super Decathlon. It resulted in a brown out destroying a $1000 airframe. I switched to a Futaba 14sg and have never looked back and haven't lost an aircraft since. I wouldn't trust a Spektrum transmitter in a toy truck from Wal-Mart.
i agree with you man not all people smart like you hope u understand that lol
