New Freakware FASST - FrSky 2.4GHz SRXL 7 / 14 - Channel Receiver

[asomaro]

This is the new BeastX (futaba FASST style) stand alone receiver (can be plugged into the BeastX with one cable) which has just been talked about on the RC Helination podcast - worth taking a look at - is anyone thinking about trying this out?

Here is the direct freakware link:

FASST - FrSky 2.4GHz SRXL7 / 14 - Channel Receiver

I will have a Futaba (FF9) very soon that I will use to run my FPV planks but I have also bought a Fr-Sky 2.4ghz plug in to try out so this new receiver could be used on one of my 500's to interface with the BeastX - hmmm - looks interesting - thoughts??

Looks pretty handy. I still can't understand why the FBL manufacturers don't make a unit that has a receiver built into it (perhaps with an optional satellite if need be on a larger heli). I mean come on... they make an FBL unit, and they make a receiver. You can't use one without the other. Is it not blindingly obvious that you might as well just put them in the same box?

Its Ginagerous!!!!!

Hand one in my hands last month, when I was at Freakware while on holiday, but was told to keep it under wraps. I think if they can make a profit at that price, Futaba/Ripmax need to look at their pricing structure, the equivalent Futaba RX is £129 from Fast Lads.

I think its SBUS out... if it is it will drive the futaba gyros as well .....

No it doesn't, the satellite is the receiver, there isn't a built in receiver.

Opps I stand corrected

The one you'd really use for an SBus link is a lot cheaper and smaller : Futaba R6203SB S-Bus Receiver
