Futaba Rubber Hatch Charge Cover (for 16IZ)

The Futaba Rubber Hatch Charge Cover is a genuine factory replacement part (Part No: FUT1M12T26902) specifically designed for the T16IZ and T16IZ Super transmitters. This small but vital component seals the charging port and data interface area on the transmitter, protecting the internal electronics from dust, moisture, and debris during transport or outdoor use at the flying field.

Key Features:

• Perfect OEM Fit: Molded precisely to the contours of the T16IZ chassis, ensuring a flush and secure seal that matches the original factory aesthetic.
• Durable Rubber Construction: Made from a high-quality, flexible elastomer that resists tearing and remains pliable even in cold weather conditions.
• Hinged Plug Design: Features a small internal tether or "tail" that keeps the cover attached to the transmitter body when opened, preventing it from being misplaced while the radio is charging.
• Port Protection: Shields the sensitive USB-C charging port and SD card slot (located behind the hatch) from the ingress of grass, fuel residue, or humidity.

Maintenance Tip:

Over time, the rubber retention tab can wear out if the cover is pulled too aggressively. To install a replacement, gently use a plastic pry tool or a toothpick to seat the internal anchor into the transmitter housing. Avoid using metal screwdrivers, as they can scratch the transmitter's finish or damage the surrounding rubber seal.
