Title: Futaba 14 sg
Post by waverider on Aug 5th, 2020 at 10:26am
Does anybody know where to find the serial number for the transmitter?
I’m trying to replace a stolen transmitter with one a guys selling but he cannot find it.

I suspect it is under the battery

Regards to everyone
Brian

Brian, my 8FG just has a foil sticker on the bottom, outside, of the thing. NOT inside.

My 18sz has the serial number sticker on the back

Just watched a video of the 14sg and the s/n is on the back same as the 18sz

Brian, if the guy "can't find" the fairly obvious serial number, I'd avoid that purchase.

The guy selling the tx was a drone guy who used it to control the camera mount On a large really expensive drone he uses to monitor for gas pipeline leakage...until he crashed the drone. The Tx has just been sitting around since Shortly after he bought it in July  2015.
So I got a almost new tx (he claims 4 hours)...That’s been sitting. The only thing was the battery is toast. So I just put in a HK 1100 mah life on 2 s

Other than the thing is more complicated  it works ok and I now have a replacement for my 8sg. Which was stolen from my truck😒

By the way.... FUTABA stands for UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED

But that’s just me.
The serial number was on a decal on the back. It give the manufacturing year.

Many thanks to everybody who tried to help.
My club here in Edmonton just banned gas engine planes
😫
Noise...
There was almost a riot but they have the ban in place
Claim the farm owner told them to
Them being the executive, average age 99 years,  and all going deaf
As you may know
Deaf people are more inclined to complain about noise
