Definitions of Symbols

Pay special attention to safety where indicated by the following symbols.

DANGER – Procedures which may lead to dangerous conditions and cause death/serious injury if not carried out

properly.

WARNING – Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition or cause death or serious injury to the user if

not carried out properly, or procedures where the probability of superficial injury or physical damage is high.

CAUTION – Procedures where the possibility of serious injury to the user is small, but there is a danger of injury,

or physical damage, if not carried out properly.

= 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.

Connecting connectors

Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point.

*If a connecter comes out during the ﬂ ight due to some

reasons such as vibration, your aircraft will crash.

How to protect the receiver from vibration and water

Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is

a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.

*Strong physical shock or water inﬁ ltration may damage

the receiver and let the receiver malfunction to crash your aircraft.

Mounting servos

Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the

servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.

*If a servo case is in direct contact with the airframe, the

vibration of the airframe directly travels to and may damage the servo.

Internal antenna mounting (Airplanes)

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

アンテナ

●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.

How to change the frequency/How to set ID

The T14MZ system has employed the frequency synthesizer scheme. The T14MZ transmitter will set the frequency of the R5014DPS (PCMG3 receiver) by the wireless data transmission. When you are using a new PCMG3 receiver and changing the frequency, set ID or frequency by the following instructions.

5. If the frequency is correct, push the button

"Yes". Then you will see the message

"Transmitting the frequency data". It takes a

certain time to send the new frequency data

to the receiver with a sound. (If you need to

resend the data, push the "Resend" button.)

6. Turn on the power of the receiver while the

new frequency data is displayed. When the frequency setting for the receiver is completed, the LED monitor of the receiver blinks once and the 1CH servo shuttles three times across the neutral position.

*A very low power, whose frequency is different from that

of the channel frequency, is used to set the frequency of the receiver. The reachable distance of the radio is designed to be within several feet. Therefore, put the transmitter and the receiver as close as possible when setting the frequency of the receiver.

* If the receiver can not load the new data

due to environmental reasons, connect the transmitter and the receiver directly by the DSC cable. And do the procedure 6 and 7.

*LED monitor will blink on and off if the receiver's ID code

is wrong. Then move back to the Receiver ID Set screen and restart the receiver's ID setting from the beginning.

7. Push the button "End" when the frequency setting is completed. Then turn off the power of the transmitter following the instructions shown on the screen. You will be able to use the new frequency after you turn on the power again.

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.

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

ﬂ 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.

*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.

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 setup→Swash 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.

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.

●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

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.

Call the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch.

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.

*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.

2. If the ID number is correct, touch the [Enter] button. To correct the number, use the [BS] button and change the number to the correct ID code.

*Once the ID code is set, it does not have to be set again as

long as the receiver is not changed.

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.

Servo Reverse

Use to reverse the throw direction.

Servo Reverse changes the direction of an individual servo’s response to a control stick movement.

For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on Swash AFR before reversing any servos. With CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming. If you use pre-built Airplane/Sailplane functions

● Touch the [Servo Reverse] button in the Linkage

Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

●Return to Linkage Menu

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 ﬂ 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.

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

● Touch the [Fail Safe] button in the Linkage

Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

●Return to Linkage Menu

failsafe may be released by operating a predeﬁ ned control on the transmitter (default is throttle),

do not continue to fly, land as soon as possible.

Remember, if the predefined control suddenly moves to a position you did not command, land at once and check your receiver battery.

Deﬁ nes servo position when signals are lost and

when receiver battery voltage becomes low.

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.

●To <Switch> screen

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Fail safe setting procedure

Decide which channels you want to go to preset positions, and which ones you want to maintain their last commanded position. To select the failsafe mode you wish to set, use the F/S button. This button toggles between the two modes. (Hold, F/S)

F/S mode setting:

1. Touch the F/S button of the channel you

want to set, and set that channel to the [F/S]

mode.

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.

To activate Condition hold:

1. Set the throttle stick at a position 3/4 below full throttle.

2. Press the Condition Hold box in the lower left hand corner of the Model Menu or Linkage Menu screens.

AFR (D/R)

The rudder angle and curve of each operation function can be set. A D/R curve which can be switched by switch, etc. can also be added. [All model types]

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 flight condition. This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions (End Point acts on ALL ﬂ ight 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.

● Touch the [AFR (D/R)] button in the Model Menu to call

the setup screen shown below.

(Currently selected rate name: AFR, D/R1~6)

Prog. Mixes

Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types]

Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control conﬁ gurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave."

You may choose to have the Masters trim added to the Slave channel response, if you desire ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the LINEAR1/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/ LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to

MODEL MENU (AIRPLANE/GLIDER FUNCTIONS)

The dedicated mixings, etc. usable when airplane, glider, or EP glider model type is selected are displayed in this Model Menu functions section. First use the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu to preset the model type, wing type, and tail type matched to the fuselage used. Later setting resets the data set by mixing function, etc.

These dedicated mixings can be set for each flight condition, as required. When you want to use the system by switching the settings for each

condition by switch or stick position, use the Condition Select function to add ﬂ ight conditions. (Up to 8 conditions can be used)

Note: The T14MZ is designed so that the airplane and glider (including EP glider) model types can handle fuselages of the same wing type. The functions common to airplanes and gliders, except some dedicated functions, are summarized without regard to the model type. The setting items are different, depending on the number of servos, etc. according to the wing type used. However, reread them. The setup screens in the instruction manual are typical examples.
