Futaba FP-2PB/FP-2PKB/FP-2PBKA Manual
This manual covers the Futaba FP-2PB, FP-2PBK, and FP-2PBKA digital proportional radio control sets. These high-performance pistol grip type AM 2-channel sets feature a built-in Battery Eliminator Circuitry (BEC) system, allowing the running NiCd battery to power both the receiver and servos, which simplifies wiring and reduces vehicle weight.
The document provides detailed instructions on transmitter features, including the mechanical Adjustable Throttle Limiter (ATL), throttle ATV trimmer, and steering rate adjuster. It also details receiver and servo specifications, installation procedures, and specific adjustments for electric motor cars and splined horns.

What is the function of the BEC system in this set?
The BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuitry) system allows the running NiCd battery to supply power to both the receiver and servo, eliminating the need for troublesome wiring and making the vehicle lighter.
Can the reverse stroke of the throttle trigger be adjusted?
Yes, the reverse (brake) stroke of the throttle trigger can be mechanically varied continuously using the Mechanical ATL (Adjustable Throttle Limiter) adjusting screws.
