PLANET T7 2.4GHZ TX & RX SET (MODE II)

Planet – 2.4GHz radio control for models

The Planet T7 transmitter and R7M micro receiver have been designed for crystal-free operation with Park Flyer, indoor aircraft and small electric-type models. It’s uncomplicated yet sophisticated design makes it an ideal first system or a general purpose sport system for R/C modelling. It uses state-of-the-art computer technology to bind it’s transmitter and receiver in such a fashion that, under most model flying conditions, interference that would normally cause loss of control in 35mHz or 27mHz equipment is nearly always rejected-and in most cases radio functionality is entirely unaffected. This makes for a safer, more reassuring flying experience. It also enables a pilot to turn up, switch on and fly under most conditions-subject to local flying guidelines and rules.
Planet T7 features Advanced 2.4GHz control with a high sensitivity, lightweight 6 gram micro receiver with fantastic range that make it ideal for even the smaller R/C indoor models. The R7M and other Planet single aerial high sensitivity micro receivers are ultra-compact and allow for the same rapid and non-critical installation that we had become accustomed to with 35MHz equipment. You will not have to worry about multi aerial placement with a Planet system.

One-button Binding
2.4Ghz technology creates a ‘bound’ relationship between the Transmitter and Receiver. The ‘setup’ of this relationship is known as ‘binding’ and can be achieved simply with one click of the R7M’s Binding Microswitch-no fiddly’binding plugs’ required here.
In a ‘bound’ transmitter/receiver state the receiver is exclusively bound to the transmitter and can only respond to signals received from that transmitter. Binding is done at the factory. Once a transmitter is bound to it’s receiver, re-binding of transmitter and receiver is not normally required.

Planet T7 features:

• Simple one-button transmitter/receiver binding
  
• Side & rear ergonomic grips for maximum transmitter security
  
• Steel carry handle and neck strap mount
  
• Precision, adjustable height dual-axis stick units
  
• Front-mounted reversing switch panel
  
• Rotary channel control (channel 6)
  
• Dual rate (Elevator and Aileron)
  
• 3 position switch channel (channel 7)
  
• Unique slow-rate or normal-rate retract/flap switch (channel 5)
  
• Trainer switch
  
• Range check button
  
• Low power consumption 4-cell transmitter
  
• Lightweight (6 gram) micro 7-channel receiver
  
• Simple programmable fail-safe function
  
• Convenient crystal-free operation

The Planet transmitter has been expertly designed and manufactured and incorporates full 4-function control via two silky-smooth dual axis control sticks and 5th 6th & 7th function for lights/retracts, etc., as well as adjustable stick spring tensions (convertible between Mode II (throttle left) and Mode I (throttle right)). The transmitter also features a socket for an optional Flight Simulator cable set, servo reversing switches, LCD battery status display, moulded ergonomic rear and side grips and is powered by 4 AA pencells.
NB. The Planet T7 is not a complete system; other parts must be purchased in order to obtain full functionality from this equipment.



Important note – equipment range
Be aware that Planet T7 is not a ‘full range’ system and should only be used at ranges of up to around 100 metres. Always perform a range check before use! Planet 5 has been tested with many types of models and operated at ranges significantly greater than that recommended. However, 2.4GHz equipment can be affected by terrain, weather and obstacles to a greater degree than conventional 35mHz R/C equipment. Therefore, do not be tempted to exceed the specifications described in detail in the instruction manual!
