Tower Hobbies System 3000 Instruction Manual

®
Congratulations on your purchase - and thank you for choosing our Tower Hobbies
you'll enjoy many hours of trouble-free flying because this radio includes many features I knew you would want in a complete,
sensible flight system.
The 6FM offers six-channel control, enough for many sport and even competition planes. As an FM narrow-band system,
it's far less vulnerable to interference than AM radios. The narrow-band transmitter and dual-conversion receiver enhance
strong control by filtering and boosting the signal. Combined, they'll provide you with smooth, glitch-free control even in
today's "noisiest" radio environments.
Those are big pluses, but we went even further to make the 6FM the most complete radio we've ever offered. The case is
ergonomically designed for the best, most comfortable fit for your hands. Add to that one switchable auxiliary channel which
can be used for landing gear and an additional proportional channel - great for use with flaps! Adjustable sticks, complete
trainer system, dual-rates, reversing switches for all channels, a full set of NiCd batteries with charger and more, help round
out this superbly designed system.
Packed with easy-to-use features and complete with a 1-year limited warranty, the 6FM is a valuable investment.
Congratulations on your purchase and happy flying!
