Dan Powell –
Best TX I have ever owned. Favorite feature is how you can assign any channel to any function in function menus then set endpoints, sub-trim, and match servos. Then in model menu it appears as 1 servo. Makes programming models with multiple servos per surface super easy. Highly Recommended
Pete –
A nice TX with many useful features. Hope it is more durable than the lettering around switches and trim knobs on its housing, which in my case was wearing off after just a few days of usage. This is disappointing for a unit of that price range.
Chris Kaiser (verified owner) –
I just ordered a second 18SZ to have as a backup. I really like the Futaba transmitters and and ease of programming and there are so many features not available on other brands.
Mohammed Bawazir –
Easily one of the best transmitters I have used. Many features and ease of programming with a good price range and quality.
Michael Trager –
I have been using my T18SZH Transmitter now for the past 8 years! Best transmitter I have ever owned and that comes after the T14MZ which was just too big for it’s small mah battery.
I hope Futaba comes out with a Super T18SZH in the future, with perhaps a higher resolution LCD display:)
