= Prohibited = Mandatory
Warning: Always keep electrical components away from small children.
FLYING SAFETY
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:
Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 14MZ protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regular checkups. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying season for a complete checkup and service.
Use the Fail-Safe safety feature to set the throttle to low-idle In case of signal loss or RX battery failure. Engine power will be automatically reduced to help limit personal or property damage. Refer to the Failsafe Setting Procedure listed in the index.
Receiver Ni-Cd Battery
Charge the batteries! (See Charging the batteries listed in the index for details.) Always recharge the receiver
batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage.
CAUTION: The initial charge on new NiCd receiver batteries should be done for 15 hours using the slow-charger that came with the radio system. This will “condition” the batteries so that the next charge may be done using the
fast-charger of your choice. If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not reach their full cap­acity and you may be flying with batteries that are only partially charged.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can f ind model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.

Lithium-ION Battery Safety and Handling instructions
It is important to understand the operating characteristics of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Always read the specifications printed on the label of your Li-Ion battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to disassemble Li-Ion packs or cells.
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
Always provide adequate ventilation around Li-Ion batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage.
Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm, and have a lithium-approved “ABC type” fire extinguisher available at all times.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery).
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60oC) should be placed in a fireproof location.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.
Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do not discharge Li-Ion batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.
Always store Li-Ion cells/packs in a secure location away from children.
Compact Flash (CF) Card Handling Instructions
Follow these precautions when handling the CF card included in your 14MZ transmitter.
IMPORTANT! The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries included in the 14MZ transmitter are not to be confused with
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries, or any other type of rechargeable battery (including NiCd’s and NiMH’s). Li-Ion batteries require special charging criteria different than other rechargeable batteries. Use only the Futaba lithium ion transmitter charger included with this set for, or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge the Li-Ion batteries in the 14MZ transmitter.
Never remove the CF card or turn off power while entering data.
Never store the CF card where it may be subject to strong static electricity or magnetic fields.
Do not expose the CF card to direct sunlight, excessive humidity or corrosive environments.
Do not expose the CF card to dirt, moisture, water or fluids of any kind.
Always hold the CF card by the edges during installa­tion and removal.
Be certain to insert the CF card in the correct direction.
AT THE FLYING FIELD
Always pay particular attention to the flying fields’ rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind
direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity. If you must fly away from a club field, be sure there are no other modelers flying within a three-to-five-mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose con­trol.
Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency control device (pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning on your transmitter. It is never possible to fly two or more mod­els on the same frequency at the same time. Even though there are different types of modulation (AM, FM, PCM), only one model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low-battery warning sys­tems, which are intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and
receiver batteries prior to each flight.
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:
1. Set the throttle stick to the idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
3. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
4. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
5. Turn on your receiver power.
6. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)
7. Start your engine.
9. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your
motor/engine.
10. Turn off receiver power.
11. Turn off transmitter power.
If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.
While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, dam-
age to your transmitter may occur.
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its’ full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.
Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.
Never turn the transmitter off during flight! Switching the transmitter off and on during flight will very likely cause a crash because of the time required for the transmitter to "reboot" and become fully functional.
8. Complete a full range check.

Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for
servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals such as frames.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the
radio reception sensitivity and the fl ight area, causing the crash.
Servos throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods will not
bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, your
aircraft may crash because the servo would be damaged and the battery would be consumed rapidly.
Use rubber band to stretch
antenna and then fix it.
Antenna
ンテ
Use a rubber bushing to the position where
antenna is coming out from the airframe so that the antenna won't be cut due to the friction.
Use rubber band to stretch antenna and then
fix it.Make a knot inside of the airframe so that the antenna will not fall out.
Mounting the power switch
When mounting a power switch to an airframe, make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn ON/OFF without binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is recommended to mount the power switch on the side of the fuselage that is opposite the muffl er.

How to turn ON/OFF the power of the transmitter
Windows® CE is installed as a built-in operating system in the T14MZ transmitter. Compared to the conventional system, the T14MZ takes extra time for internal processing when it is turned on/off. For safety reasons, the radio will be emmiting only after you push the confi rmation button when turning on the power. Please follow the instructions for turning on/off the transmitter.
Warning
Once you turn on the power, never shut off the power switch until the power becomes stable
(or until the fi rst screen shows up). If you turn off the power switch while the transmitter is going through the initialization process, the data could be damaged. Note: The start-up time may be a little bit slower when the CF card is installed compared to when the card is not.
When turning on the power of the transmitter
1. Turn on the power switch of the transmitter.
*After initialization of the transmitter is over, the frequency
confirmation screen pops up, and LED monitor turns on pink.
2. Check the frequency shown on the screen. If
it is OK, then click the button "YES".
*LED monitor turns to green and the transmitter begins to
emit radio waves.
*If you push the button "NO", then the transmitter will not
emit radio waves.
Then, you will see the home screen and you
will be able to set conditions.
Start-up time; The time required for initializing the internal circuit of the transmitter varies between the previous time you turned off the transmitter and the time you will turned on the power. There are two “start up” modes for your transmitter, see below:
How to stop the transmitter
Turn off the power switch of the transmitter. The internal circuit of the transmitter starts the shut down process including saving the set-up data. The LED will blink yellow while the transmitter is in the shutdown process.
Once you turn off the power, never operate the power switch until the power shutdown process
is fully completed. If you turn on the power switch again while the transmitter is still in the process of power shutdown, the data could be damaged.
As the internal circuit of the transmitter stays on the
standby mode for 4 hours after turning off the power, some part of the circuit is consuming current. When you turn on the power during this period, the power starts in “Hot mode”. But if more than four hours pass after shutting down the power, the power supply will completely shut down the internal circuit. When you turn on the power after this point, the power starts in “Cold start mode”.
Cold start;
If you turn on the transmitter more than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is “Cold start”. “Cold start” is normal for the first initial power up of the day. It will take about 30 seconds to be ready for use, as it takes time to initialize the internal circuit of the transmitter.
Hot start;
If you turn on the transmitter less than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is “Hot start”. Since initialization has been partly completed, the transmitter will be ready to use in several seconds. “Hot start” takes place usually at a second fl ight or later fl ight in the day.

Reset Button
How to reset software
If the screen freezes for some reason and you cannot edit, the transmitter power supply is not shut off even if you turn OFF the power switch. You will need to use the reset button or remove the battery and reinsert it again. In this case, the power restarts in “Cold mode”. Even though the screen freezes, all the other functions for radio control operation remain operative.

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE
Airplane/glider basic setting procedure
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to call models which are already set.
This is convenient when calling a model after its name has been registered. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)
The currently called model name is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confi rm the model name.
When a new model was added, the Model type select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/ Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. After changing or confi rming the model, turn the power off and on according to the instructions on the screen. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.
3. Fuselage linkage
Link the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.
Note: The channel assignment of the T14MZ is different from that of our existing systems. Note that even for the same "airplane model", when the wing type and tail type are different, the channel assignment may be different. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the fuselage with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 3 types: airplane, glider, and motor glider. When the Wing type select screen is displayed and the wing type is selected when selecting the model type, the Tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the fuselage.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane, glider, and motor glider.
When the direction of the linkage is reversed, adjust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu.
Connect the throttle linkage so carburetor is open at full trim and full open then the throttle can be cut.
Adjust the neutral position and rudder angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub Trim and End Point functions (rudder angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. The End Point function can adjust the amount of up/down and left/right movement, limit, and servo speed of each channel.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
39
4. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by a
switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle position so that the carburetor becomes full open. For safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position.
5. Idle down setting
The idling speed can be lowered with one touch by a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed. For safety, the idle down function acts only when the throttle stick is in the 1/3 or les (slow side) position.
*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle
Down function does not work.
6. AFR (D/R)
AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each fl ight condition. This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions (End Point acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function.
The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake
ap) offset amount can be activated by a switch.
The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and fl ap servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the aileron, elevator, and fl ap servos can be adjusted. (IN side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition, and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can be chosen. Trim amounts can be fi ne-tuned by setting a VR You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch.
8. Addition of fl ight conditions
The transmitter can install up to eight fl ight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as fl ight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for fl ight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to defi ne what switches and/or controls are used to activate each fl ight condition.
The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 1 for each model type. Condition 1 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. This condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
7. Airbrake
This function is used when an air brake is necessary
when taking off or diving, etc.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
40
*When a new condition is added, "Condition1" data is
automatically copied.
*Select the condition switch and set the new condition data in the
switch ON state. However, if the group mode (Gr.) was selected in advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the single mode (Sngl) and adjust the condition you want to change.
9. When tailless wing model selected
Tailless wing elevator operation uses elevator→camber mixing. This function cannot be performed at initial setting.
Helicopter basic setting procedure
1. Model addition and call
Default setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ. To add new models or to call a model already set, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.
This is convenient when calling a model after registering the model names in advance. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)
The currently called model is displayed at the top of the screen. Before fl ying and before changing any settings, always confi rm the model name.
Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.
When a new model is added, the Model Type Select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type of the model used.
3. Flight condition addition
The transmitter can install up to eight flight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as flight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for fl ight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to define what switches and/or controls are used to activate each fl ight condition.
The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 0 for each model type. Condition 0 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defi ned. This condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
2. Model type and swash type selection
When a separate model type is already selected, select helicopter with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched to the fuselage.
(General fl ight condition setting example)
Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate when switch OFF)
Use from engine starting to hovering.
Idle up 1: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E center)
Use in 540o stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and other maneuvers.
Idle up 2: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E forward side)
Use in rolls.
Throttle hold: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-G forward side)
Use in auto rotation.
The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/
normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority.
Add other conditions, as required.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
41
4. Fuselage linkage
Connect the throttle rudder, ailerons, elevators, pitch, and other rudder linkages in accordance with the kit instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos Connection".
*The channel assignment of the T14MZ is
different from that of our existing systems. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)
Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)
Operation of the swash plate near the hovering point can be corrected by swash AFR function correction mixing. Use this when pitch, aileron, and elevator operation causes the swash plate to deviate from the normal direction.
(Call the Swash setupSwash details screen.)
Pitch slow side and high side linkage correction is also possible. Adjust so that pitch operation causes the swash plate to move up and down in the horizontal state.
When the direction of operation of the
linkage is reverse, use the Reverse function
of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR
function in other than the H-1 mode.
Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro.
(Gyro side function)
Connect the throttle linkage so that the
carburetor becomes full open at full trim
throttle cut is possible.
Basically, adjust the neutral position and
rudder angle at the linkage side and fine
tune with the Sub-Trim function and End
Point function (rudder angle adjustment). To
protect the linkage, a limit position can also
be set with the End Point function.
5. Throttle curve setting
This function adjusts the pitch operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition.
(17 points curve)
The pitch curve can be freely selected from linear operation curve to smooth curve, and adjusted to match the curve you want by means of the T14MZ’s powerful Curve Edit Function (6 types of curves can be selected). Up to 17 points can be set for linear or curve types. However, when using the 3 points or 5 points specifi ed to create a curve, a simple and smooth curve can be created by selecting the curve type and reducing the number of input points to 3 or 5, and then entering the specified value at the corresponding points that you created.
<Setting example>
Call the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch.
Normal curve adjustment
Normal curve uses Normal (Linear) type and creates a basic pitch curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the Throttle Curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.
Idle up curve adjustment
The high side pitch curve sets the maximum pitch regardless of the engine load. The low side pitch curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).
Note: When the curve type is changed, the data is reset.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
42
Throttle hold curve adjustment
The throttle hold curve is used when performing auto rotation dives.
Confi rm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting). Be sure that when set to high side 100%, the curve of any condition does not exceed 100%.
Example of pitch curve setting:
1. Call the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch.
*Pitch curve graph display can be switched to pitch angle
direct reading display.
A. Pitch curve (Normal)
Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5º~6º. Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at the 50% point as the standard.
*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve.
Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together.
B. Pitch curve (Idle up 1)
The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne fl ight. Set to -7º~+12º as standard.
C. Pitch curve (Idle up 2)
The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8º.
D. Pitch curve (Hold)
At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides. [Pitch angle setting example] Throttle hold: -7º~+12
º
manipulation, the Auto mode can be set. When you want to adjust the servo speed, adjust [Speed].
7. Pitch to RUD mixing setting
Use this function when you want to suppress the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown below, do not use Pitch to RUD mixing.
Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at the gyro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally.
Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)
6. Throttle hold setting
Call the Throttle Hold function from the Model Menu and switch to the throttle hold condition with the condition select switch.
Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group mode. Since this function is not used at other conditions, switch to the single mode before setting.
Setting to the state which activates the
function
The throttle hold function allows setting for throttle cut and switching of the function fi xed at the idle position by switch for training. Either one or both functions can be performed.
Hold position setting
This function sets the servo operation position at throttle hold. (Throttle cut and idle positions)
Other settings
When you want to link operation with stick
(17 points curve)
Curve setting of up to 17 points is possible. However, in the following setting example, a simple curve can be adjusted by using the [Linear] curve type.
Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group mode. In this mode, the same contents are set at in all conditions. When you want to set the selected condition only, switch to the single mode.
<Setting example>
Call the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
43
1. A curve setting example is shown below. A. Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal)
Use the hovering system and set this curve to match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed.
*For this curve, use the initial setting [Linear] curve type and
adjust the left and right rates in the [Separate] mode.
B. Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1)
Use this curve in 540º stall turn, loop, and rolling stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight ahead when heading into the wind.
*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.
C. Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold)
This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0º.
*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.
Other settings
The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can be adjusted. An acceleration (ACLR) function and deceleration (DCLR) function, which temporarily increase and decrease the mixing amount, can be set.
8. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and
pitch interaction
The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each operation of each condition.
10. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching
The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is dedicated gyro mixing of the Model Menu, and can be set for each condition.
Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity
maximum
Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro
sensitivity minimum
However, at auto rotation of a tail-driven
helicopter, this function may not have any
affect at high gyro sensitivity.
11. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by fl ipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL.
9. Throttle mixing setting
RPM loss caused by swash operation at aileron or elevator operation can be corrected with the Throttle Mix function of the Model Menu. How clockwise and counterclockwise torque is applied when pirouetting can also be corrected.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
44
*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding. When finished, touch the “Throttle Cut” button to exit.
12. Other special mixings
Pitch to Needle mixing
This mixing is used with engines with a construction which allows needle control during fl ight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set. The needle servo rise characteristics at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be adjusted. (Acceleration function)
Fuel mixture function
This mixing is used in needle adjustment of engines which use a fuel mixture control carburetor.
Governor mixing
This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a GV-1 (governor) is used. Up to 3 rates (speeds) can be switched for each condition.
Receiver and servos connection
Connect the receiver and servos in accordance with the connection diagram shown below. Always read [Precautions when mounting the receiver and servos] of [Before using]. When mounting the receiver and servos to the fuselage, connect the necessary points in accordance with the kit instruction manual.

WARNING
When fl ying after frequency change, emit radio waves only after verifying the frequency.
*Also change the frequency clip. Emitting radio waves with-
out verifi cation is extremely dangerous.
Function
Channel assignment of each function can be changed.
When you select model and wing (swash) types, you will find that the optimized combinations of servo output channels and functions have been already preset. If you would like, on the function­setting screen of the linkage menu, you can freely change combinations of servo output channels, functions (aileron, elevator, etc), and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches). You can also assign the same function to multiple servo output channels such as assigning elevator function to CH2 and CH3.
DG1, DG2 (switch channels)
These two channels can be used as switch channels. You can freely change combinations between servo output channels and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches).
VC1~VC4 (virtual channels)
These four channels can be set as virtual functions that do not have servo output channels. You can freely change combinations between functions (aileron, elevator, etc) and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches).
Note: In PCMG3 mode, combinations of three channels such as CH 1 through CH 3, CH 4 through CH 6, CH 7through CH 9 and CH 10 through CH 12 work simultaneously. Futaba recommends that you use the standard optimized default combinations of channels and functions in order to minimize servo delay when you use multiple servos to control models such as swash mode helicopters and dual elevator airplanes or fl aperon airplanes.
Servo Output Channels
For PCMG3 mode, you can set twelve linear channels and two digital channels. For PCM1024 mode, you can set eight linear channels and one digital channel. For PPM mode, you can set only eight linear channels.

that control multiple servos, it may be confusing to tell whether the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each specialized function for further details. Always check servo direction prior to every ight as an additional precaution to confi rm proper model memory, hook ups, and radio function.
(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)
Servo reversing procedure
After setting up a new model, be sure to define all special menus. Be sure that all servos are plugged into the proper receiver channels. Now, determine whether you need to reverse any channels by moving each stick and observing the corresponding movement in the model’s controls.
1. Touch the desired channel’s Setting button
to choose the proper direction for the servo
2. Touch “Yes” in the next screen.
3. Repeat for each servo needing reversal. When done, touch “Servo Reverse” to return to
the Linkage Menu.
<Linkage Menu>
62
Fail Safe
Sets the servos operating position when transmitter signals can no longer be received or when the receiver battery voltage drops.
The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions
that the servos move to in the case of radio interference.
This function only works with G3 or PCM receivers
(FM receivers do not have failsafe capability).
When the receiver battery voltage drops, the servo can be moved to a preset position. (Battery fail safe function) A battery fail safe function reset switch can be set. (Initial setting: Throttle stick maximum slow side)
You may set either of two positions for each channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel.
The T14MZ system also provides you with an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the defi ned failsafe position. The battery

WARNING
For safety, always set the fail safe functions.
Especially set the throttle channel fail safe function so that the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters. Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous.
If fail safe is reset by throttle stick, it may be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at throttle slow and the model will continue to fl y. If you have any doubts, immediately land.

Condition Hold (Helicopter Only)
This function may be used to limit the maximum speed of the engine so that you may adjust flight conditions when the engine is running. The maximum throttle position is settable, and an alarm indicates that the function is operating. The function is especially useful for helicopters, because it will prevent the engine from racing dangerously when adjusting the Idle-Up settings.
While this function is active, the throttle operates on the default condition throttle curve, and mixing is applied as normal, except the throttle is not allowed to move past the set point.
You must deactivate this function when you are through making adjustments. The system will not allow you to deactivate this function in either of the following states:
1. When any of the flight condition switches
are on.
2. When the throttle stick is higher than the
set point.

Setting method
CTRM mode: Maximum amount of change
near center by center trim operation. When the adjustment range (Range) value is made small, trim is active only near the center.
NORM mode: Normal trim (parallel movement
trim) operation. When the adjustment range (Range) value is made small, trim is active only near the center. Needle high trim works as high trim based on the center. This operation is similar to reverse ATL trim.
1. An acceleration function can be set. This function is used when there are symptoms of the mixture being either too rich or too lean, which would be generated by sudden operation of the throttle stick.
An acceleration (ACLR) function and deceleration (DCLR) function, which temporarily increase and decrease the fuel supply at acceleration and deceleration, can be set.
2. The return time after operation (Dump) can be set for both setting at acceleration (High) and setting at deceleration (Low).
3. A needle throttle cut function can be set.
4. Operation linked with the throttle hold functions (Cut and Idle), Throttle Cut function, and Idle Down function is possible.
5. The needle side cut position can be set. Set it to the fuel side full open position.
When the MIX mode is selected, the throttle curve set data becomes the mixing master. In the UNMIX mode, the throttle stick position becomes the mixing master.

Butterfl y
[Corresponding model type]: Glider, 2 ailerons or more
This function allows powerful brake operation by simultaneously raising the left and right ailerons and lowering the flaps (camber flap, brake fl ap).
This setting will allow the ailerons to be raised while the flaps are simultaneously lowered. Butterfl y (Crow) produces an extremely effi cient landing configuration by accomplishing the following:
1. Slow the aircraft’s velocity.
2. Provide washout at the wing tips to reduce the tendency to tip stall.
3. Create more lift toward the center of the wing allowing it to fl y at a slower speed
Touch the [Butterfl y] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.
(The display screen is an example. The actual screen depends
on the model type. The screen shown below is for 4 ailerons and 4 fl aps.)
Touch the ACT button and set the function to ACT (ON).
When setting a switch, touch the SWITCH [NULL] button to call the <Switch> screen, and then select the switch and set its ON direction.
Mixing during fl ight can be turned ON/OFF by setting a switch. (Always ON at NULL setting)
The butterfl y operation reference point can be offset. When the Offset button is touched when operated to the position to be changed, the reference point is offset. If the reference point is offset too much, unexpected operation may be performed.
The ailerons, fl aps, and elevators operation speed can be adjusted. (IN side/OUT side)
A delay can be set for each condition. A cut switch which can turn OFF the delay function can also be set.
The differential rate can be adjusted.
*When servo binding occurs when setting the ailerons and
aps in butterfl y mixing, use the AFR function to adjust the rudder angle.
