In our recent review of the Futaba 7C FASST radio control system, the author indicated (in a sidebar) that the system was best suited for aircraft in the 2-pound to 16-pound range. This statement was based on which aircraft the author felt the receiver and servo package was best suited (because of receiver specifications and number of available channels).

This is not to indicate that this is the only size range of model that the system is capable of controlling. As with any equipment used in a model aircraft, you must select the size and capabilities that best suit each particular model and pilot style of performance wishes.

The 7C 2.4 GHz FASST transmitter itself is quite capable of controlling any size model a pilot may wish to fly. The author regrets the confusion, and in fact has tested the transmitter with an indoor 10 ounce foamy, and recently in a 27% Scale Aerobatic model with remarkable praise.
