On offer is a used, but very good condition, Ripmax Futaba 35mhz FM Challenger FP-T6NL transmitter with a FP-R118F receiver (again in very good condition), with matching crystals on Channel 76. 

This 'Combo' is in exceptional condition when considering its age and would likely be of interest to a collector or avid 'retro' RC fan. Please study the photographs carefully to appreciate the condition.

It would be difficult to find a Futaba Challenger 'Combo' in better condition.

This is a  'Rechargeable COMBO' with the transmitter battery (4 x 2 cell square pack format) but no receiver battery. The transmitter battery is not the original Ripmax Futaba item, but its age & condition is unknown beyond the fact it does hold a charge.

The original Ripmax Futaba Tx/Rx wall charger is included with both outputs rated at 70mah.

The original retail packaging (box and polystyrene shells) are included, with these items having some shelf wear and the box has some tears & an inner tab missing, as may be expected given its age, but is perfectly fine for storing the equipment safely. 

The original instructions and 'Supplementary Channel 6 knob' paperwork is included (See ninth photograph).

The Ripmax Futaba Challenger FP-T6NL transmitter was developed as a basic transmitter for aircraft and glider models for club enthusiasts, which was introduced in the 1980's. It remains a usable basic transmitter for the club flyer, 

Quite a rare find these days in such exceptionally clean condition ! - Possibly one for the collector ?

The transmitter is in full working order & very good cosmetic condition. (As seen in photographs of actual item offered). The transmitter came from a retired club flyer, but appears to have had little actual use.

This Futaba Challenger FP-T6NL transmitter is set up in Mode 2 (Throttle on left-hand stick), and will not really be suitable for changing to any other stick mode as the channel assignment is fixed.

The Futaba Challenger FP-T6NL is a basic (non-computer based) transmitter, It has servo reverse on all channels via sliding switches accessed in the battery bay on the back of the transmitter. there are also rotary adjusters for  dual rates for aileron & elevator on the front top panel of the transmitter. 
Channel 5 is a two-position switch, whilst Channel 6 is proportional via a rotary aluminium knob.This has a graduated scale on the transmitter case and a 'tactile' centre position that can be 'felt' as you rotate the knob either side of the 'centre' position (A nice 'quality' feel as you would expect from a premium brand).

This 35mhz FM transmitter & receiver 'Combo' can ONLY be used for flying models in the UK 

As mentioned, the Futaba Challenger FP-T6NL is still a usable 6-Channel 'basic' transmitter for the RC flying enthusiast or beginner, but in this condition this listing is aimed at the collector or 'retro' enthusiast.

The 'Combo' includes the original Futaba FP-R118F (With matching Channel 76 crystal), with the original frequency decals on the crystal holders. Also included are two standard FP-S148 Futaba servos. 
Again, these items are all in exceptionally good cosmetic condition & full working order. 

Starting price of £99.95 reflects the exceptionally good condition of the items.

The cost of postage to UK / or to GSP-UK depot via Royal Mail 2nd Class Packet will be £3.69 OR if you prefer a 'Singed For' service it would be £4.95 for Royal Mail 2nd Class 'Signed For' Packet
