and poor control of the aircraft which could lead to a
crash.

Never turn the power switch on and o󱐯 during

ight or while the engine or motor is running.　

■ Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will

Introduction

crash. Even if the power switch is turned on, operation
will not begin until transmitter and receiver internal
processing is complete.

Do not start the engine or motor while wearing

the neck strap.　　

■ The neck strap may become entangled with the
rotating propeller, rotor, etc. and cause a serious injury.

Do not y when you are physically impaired as

it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.

Do not y at the following places:　　　

■ Near another radio control ying eld.

■ Near or above people.

■ Near homes, schools, hospitals or other places where
people congregate.

■ Near high voltage lines, high structures, or

during ight preparations, do not stand it upright.

■ The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and
the propeller or rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause
injury.

Do not touch the engine, motor, or FET amp

during and immediately after use.　　

■ These items may become hot during use.

For safety, y so that the aircraft is visible at all

times.　　　

■ Flying behind buildings or other large structures
will not only cause you to lose sight of the aircraft, but
also degrade the RF link performance and cause loss of
control.

From the standpoint of safety, always set the

fail safe function.　　　

■ In particular, normally set the throttle channel to idle.
For a helicopter, set the throttle channel to maintain a
hover.

When flying, always return the transmitter

setup screen to the Home screen.　　　

■ Erroneous input during ight is extremely dangerous.

Always check the remaining capacity of the
transmitter and receiver batteries before each
ying session prior to ight.

■ Low battery capacity will cause loss of control and a
crash.

Always check operation of each control surface
and perform a range test before each flying
session. Also, when using the trainer function,
check the operation of both the teacher and
student transmitter.

■ Even one transmitter setting or aircraft abnormality
cause a crash.

Before turning on the transmitter:

1. Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to
the minimum (idle) position.

2. Turn on the transmitter rst and then the receiver.

When turning off the transmitter's power
switch. After the engine or motor has stopped
(state in which it will not rotate again):

1. Turn o󱐯 the receiver power switch.　

2. Then turn o󱐯 the transmitter power switch.

■ If the power switch is turned on/off in the opposite
order, the propeller may rotate unexpectedly and cause a
serious injury.

■ Also always observe the above order when setting the
fail safe function.

■ Maximum low throttle: Direction in which the engine
or motor runs at the slowest speed or stops.

When adjusting the transmitter, stop the
engine except when necessary. In the case of
a motor, disconnect the wiring and to allow it
to continue operation. When doing so, please
exercise extreme caution. Ensure that the aircraft
is secured and that it will not come into contact
with anything or anyone. Ensure that the motor
will not rotate prior to making any adjustments.

■ Unexpected high speed rotation of the engine may
cause a serious injury.

Battery Care and Precautions

Below you will find some general rules and guidelines which should be adhered to when
charging transmitter and/or receiver battery packs. These are included to serve only as general

guidelines, and are not intended to replace or supersede the information provided by the battery
and/or charger manufacturer. For complete information, please refer to the instructions that are
included with the battery pack(s) and/or chargers that accompany the products purchased.

• Do not allow children to charge battery packs without adult supervision.

• Do not charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way. We strongly suggest frequent
inspection of the battery packs to ensure that no damage has occurred.

• Do not to allow batteries to overheat! If overheated, disconnect the battery from the charger
immediately and allow to cool.

• Do not mix cells- all cells should be of the same material, conguration, etc.

• Do not deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.

• Never charge batteries on a surface that may become hot, or may be impacted by the heat.

• Immediately end the charging procedure if either the batteries or charger itself become overly hot.

• NiMH cells do not exhibit the “memory effect” like NiCd cells, so little cycling is needed. Store

NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).

• NiMH cells have a self-discharge rate of approximately 20-25% (compared to 15% for NiCd
batteries). It is important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use.

• Never connect the battery in reverse. Reverse connection will cause the battery to overheat or
will damage the inside of the charger.

• Do not add an additional charge after charging.

• Never charge with a current exceeding the nominal capacity (lC) of the rechargeable battery.

• If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate.

• Do not connect two battery packs or more to one output terminal.

• Avoid extremely cold and hot places and the direct sunlight when you charge batteries.

• It is recommended to perform charging within the 10 ~ 30°C (50-86°F) range. Otherwise, it may
cause abnormal charging and overheat.

ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE CONTROL STICKS

You may change the length of the control sticks to make
your transmitter more comfortable to hold and operate. To

Stick tip A Locking piece B

lengthen or shorten your transmitter’s sticks, first unlock

the stick tip by holding locking piece B and turning stick

tip A counterclockwise. Next, move the locking piece B
up or down (to lengthen or shorten). When the length feels
comfortable, lock the position by turning locking piece B

counterclockwise.

STICK LEVER TENSION ADJUSTMENT

You may adjust the tension of your sticks to provide the feel that you prefer for ying. To adjust
your springs, you’ll have to remove the rear case of the transmitter. First, remove the battery
cover on the rear of the transmitter. Next, unplug the battery wire, and remove the battery from
the transmitter. Next, using a screwdriver, remove the four screws that hold the transmitter’s rear
cover in position, and put them in a safe place. Gently ease off the transmitter’s rear cover. Now
you’ll see the view shown in the gure above.
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw for each stick for the desired spring

tension. The tension　increases　when the adjusting screw is turned clockwise. When you are

satised with the spring tensions, reattach the transmitter's rear cover. When the cover is properly
in place, reinstall and tighten the four screws. Reinstall the battery and cover.

LINK PROCEDURE (T6K/R3006SB)

Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the
receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the
link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the
receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R3006SB receivers,

this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work.

Link procedure

1. Place the transmitter and the receiver

close to each other within 20 inches(half

meter).

Less than 20 inches

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Select [MDL-SEL] and access the setup

screen shown below by press the jog key .

4. Use the jog key to select (NO LINK) or the

ID number next to LINK in the [MDL-SEL]

menu.

XXXXXXXXX

8. If the receiver ID is displayed in the
transmitter and the LED changed from red
blinking to a steady green light, linking is
complete. (The receiver linking wait state
ends in about 3 seconds.)

9. Check system operation. If the transmitter
and receiver are not linked, try linking
again.

* If there are many T-FHSS Air systems turned on in close

proximity, your receiver might have difculty establishing

a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence.

However, should another T-FHSS Air transmitter/receiver
be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to

the wrong transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do

not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we

strongly recommend you to double check whether your
receiver is really under control by your transmitter.

*When the linked transmitter power is turned on,

communications begins.

*When using 2 receivers, perform the linking operation the

same as the 1st receiver. (However, when 2 receivers are
used, the telemetry system cannot be used.)

*Link is required when a new model is made from a model

selection.

Before use

5. Hold down the jog key to enter the link
mode.

6. A chime from the transmitter notifies the
operator that the transmitter has entered
the link mode.

“Beep beep beep”
(Enters the link mode for 20 seconds)

In "Link" Mode

Receiver ON

7. Immediately turn on the receiver power.

The receiver will enter the linking state

(LED blinks red) about 3 seconds after the
receiver power is turned on.

WARNING

After the linking is done, please cycle receiver
power and check that the receiver to be linked

is really under the control of the transmitter.

Don't perform the linking procedure with

motor's main wire connected or with the
engine operating as it may result in serious
injury.

*Link is required when a new

model is made from a model
selection.

*When telemetry can't be used, try

a relink once again.

RECEIVER's ANTENNA INSTALLATION

The R3006SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe

modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF
signals on both antennas and y problem-free.

*Must be kept as straight as possible.

Antenna

Coaxial cable

To obtain the best results of the diversity

function, please refer to the following

Before use

instructions:

1. The two antennas must be kept as straight
as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the
effective range.

2. The two antennas should be placed at 90
degrees to each other.

Antenna

This is not a critical figure, but the most

important thing is to keep the antennas
away from each other as much as possible.

Larger models can have large metal

objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In
this case the antennas should be placed
at both sides of the model. Then the best

RF signal condition is obtained at any ying

attitude.

3. The antennas must be kept away from
conductive materials, such as metal,
carbon and fuel tank by at least a half
inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does
not need to follow these guidelines, but do
not bend it in a tight radius.

4. Keep the antennas away from the motor,
ESC, and other noise sources as much as
possible.

Antenna

40

*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
*The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.

*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration,

shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing
materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the
bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver,
you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

when you install receiver
and servos

WARNING

Connecting connectors

Be sure to insert the connector until it stops

at the deepest point.

Servo lead wires

To prevent the servo lead cable from being

broken by vibration during flight, provide a

little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable

points. Periodically check the cable during daily

maintenance.

Margin in the lead wire.

Fasten about 5-10cm
from the servo outlet so
that the lead wire is neat.

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

the switch 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 mufer.

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.

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 or carbon fiber

components such as frames, cables, etc.

*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will

reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range,

and may cause a crash.

Servo 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, the servo could be damaged due to force

on the gear train and/or power consumption
causing rapid battery drain.

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 the servo case contacts the airframe directly,

vibration will travel to and possibly damage the
servo.

Before use

41

RANGE CHECK THE RADIO

A range check must be performed before the rst ight of a new model. It is not necessary to do
a range check before every ight (but is not a bad idea to perform a range check before the rst
ight of each day). A range check is the nal opportunity to reveal any radio malfunctions, and to

be certain the system has adequate operational range.

We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T6K in order to perform an operational
ground range check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational
range of the T6K.

To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check:

1) To activate the “Power Down Mode” please hold

down the JOG KEY and then turn the transmitter switch

on. A power mode screen is displayed. Press the JOG
KEY to select the Power Down function. When this

Before use

mode is active the red LED on the lighting from of

the transmitter will provide users with an audible and

visual indication that the transmitter is in the “Power
Down Mode”. Audibly, the transmitter will beep one
time every three seconds. Visually, the LCD screen will
display “POWER DOWN MODE”. The words “POWER
DOWN MODE” will blink as an additional reminder

that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.

2) With the “Power Down Mode” activated, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls.
Have an assistant stand by the model and signal what the controls are doing to conrm that they operate correctly. You

should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control.

3) If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Push END KEY and complete power down mode. Set the
transmitter in a safe yet accessible location so it will be within reach after starting the engine. Be certain the throttle

stick is all the way down, and then start the engine. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the model

and the engine running at various speeds.

If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. Do NOT y the aircraft! Look for loose servo

connections or binding pushrods. Also be certain that the battery has been fully charged.

4) NEVER start ying when the “Power Down Mode” is active.

Servo test operation at the time of Power Down Mode:

During Power Down mode, you can use automatic servo testing to check the range of a specied servo (it moves to
right and left slowly).

1) A "SERVO" is chosen from a menu.

2) JOG KEY is moved to a side and 2 pages is called. Next, JOG KEY is moved down and CH is displayed.

3) CH of the servo which wants to operate is chosen. Then, the + KEY is pressed and it is made ACT.

The servo selected during Power Down Mode operates alone, allowing you to check its operation.

It is during Power Down Mode starting, and if "SERVO TEST" is turned ON, it will move.

*In the Power Down Mode, the throttle servo does not operate.

*Helicopter mode, condition is xed to NOR.

Select the "OFF" and
press the Jog key.
A screen opens without
outputting power.
The receiver does not
operate.

Select the "ON" and
press the Jog key.
Power is usually
outputted from power
mode.

DANGER

NEVER start flying when the “Power Down

Mode” is active.

*Control is impossible and your model crashes.

S.BUS/S.BUS2 INSTALLATION

This set uses the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system. The wiring is as simplified and clean mounting as

possible, even with models that use a large number of servos. In addition, the wings can be

quickly installed to the fuselage without any extraneous wiring by the use of only one simple

wire, even when there are a large number of servos used.

●When using S.BUS/S.BUS2, special settings and mixes in your transmitter may be unnecessary.

●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos memorize the number of channels themselves. (Settable with the T6K)

●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 system and conventional system (receiver conventional CH used) can be mixed.

WARNING

Fail safe

Function

When normal radiowaves cannot be received due
to noise and interference, the NOR mode, which
holds the servo of each channel in its position
immediately before reception was lost, or F/S (Fail
Safe) mode, which moves the servo of each channel
to a preset position, can be selected. When T-FHSS
Air is selected, the battery fail safe voltage can be
set.

●When the throttle channel was reversed by servo
reverse function, the F/S data is also reversed.
(Throttle channel only) If the receiver battery
voltage drops below the set value when the fail
safe mode was selected, the battery fail safe
function moves the servo to a preset position.

●The S-FHSS fail safe voltage is 3.8V.

●Only the throttle channel battery fail safe function
can be turned on and off.

side. However, after 30 seconds the battery fail safe function will
return to the battery fail safe state.

For safety, always set the fail safe functions.

●Remember to 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 the battery fail safe is reset by the throttle stick, it may

be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at

SENSOR

Sensor

Function

This screen registers the telemetry sensors used
with the transmitter. When Futaba SBS-01T/E,
SBA-01RO/RM/RB and SBS-01A sensor is used,
this setting is unnecessary and the sensor can be
used by simply connecting it to the S.BUS2 port of
the receiver.

Servos are classied by CH, but sensors are classied in units called "slot". There are slots

from No. 1 to No. 31. Altitude sensors units may use multiple slots.

T6K can use 1 of temperature, RPM and altitude sensor respectively. Any more sensor can't

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter

*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible

function.

ID = [ ID ]　　

Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.

CHAN ▶ [ Channel ]　　

Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.

NEUT ▶ [ Neutral O󱐯set ]　　

The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral o󱐯set is large value, the servo's range
of travel is restricted on one side.

EPA ▶ [ Travel Adjust ]　　

The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.

Common function

DEAD ▶ [ Dead band ]　　

The dead band angle at stopping can be specied.

[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]

Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal

change.

Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.

(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the
current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.

REVE ▶ [ Reverse ]　　

The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.

STRE ▶ [ Stretcher ]　　

The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the
target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be
adjusted.

This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown
below.

[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]

Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker.

Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger.

(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.

89

BOST ▶ [ Boost ]　　

The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since
a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded.
The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the
motor.

[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]

Small → Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.

Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too

large, operation will become rough.

DAMP ▶ [ Damper ]　　

The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.

When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot
characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the
stop position.

Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting
may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo

Common function

to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are
suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.

[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]

Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.

Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like

the servo response has worsened.

(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the
life of the servo will also be shortened.

BSTM ▶ ON/OFF [ Boost ON/OFF ]　　

OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual)

ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope)

SPED ▶ [ Speed Control ]　　

Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can
be matched without being a󱐯ected by motor uctuations. This is e󱐯ective for load torques
below the maximum torque.

However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even
if the servos operating voltage is increased.

STAR ▶ [ Soft Start ]　　

Restricts operation in the specied direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this
setting, the rst initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the
specied position.

SMOT ▶ [ Smoother ]　　

This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement
changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick
operation is necessary such as 3D.

TRAINR

CAUTION

Trainer

(Common)

Function

Since the channel and operation mode used in training can be selected, the training difculty can be set

to match the student’s level.

The trainer function can be used by connecting the instructor’s transmitter to the student’s transmitter

using a special trainer cord (sold separately). Student operation is possible by instructor switch operation. If

the student enters a dangerous situation, control can be immediately switched to the instructor.

● Four operation modes can be selected at each channel.

● The trainer switch is set to switch D.

When the trainer function is used, cancel the function
assigned to the switch D. THR-HOLD of a helicopter can't
be used.

Trainer code

Teacher

Use the trainer function under the following conditions:

● When the instructor uses a T6K transmitter, set the student’ s transmitter modulation to PPM (for
conventional frequency transmitter). (When the student uses a T6K transmitter, the modulation
mode does not have to be changed. A PPM signal is always output from the trainer jack.)

● Before ight always conrm that all the instructor and student channels operate normally as set.

● Always insert the trainer cord as far as it will go and take measures so that the cord will not work

Common function

loose during use.

● Always remove the high frequency module of the student’ s transmitter. (For module type)

● Never turn on the student’ s transmitter power switch.

Trainer function operation modes

● FNC mode: The channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student using the mixing set at

the instructor’ s transmitter. *Student settings are returned to their initial value in advance. Next,

reverse function makes all channels normal.

● NOR mode: The channel set to this mode is controlled by signals from the student’ s transmitter. (The

instructor and student settings must be the same.)

●OFF mode: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student. It can only be controlled

by the instructor.

However, channels not provided at the student’ s transmitter are controlled by the instructor regardless of the above
settings.

When other models are selected, the trainer function is deactivated, but the channel settings remain.

Example of use

● When the FUNC mode is set at the stick channel, helicopter stick operation training is possible even

with a 4EX transmitter (4 channels for aircraft).

● Control by the instructor is possible by setting only the training channel matched to the student’ s

level to the NORM mode and setting the other channels to the OFF mode.
