FLYING SAFETY

WARNING

󾾝

To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:

Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 8FG SUPER protects the model memories with

󾾙

non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, the transmitter still should have regular checkups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-ying-season for a complete checkup and service.

Page 7

Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery

Charge the batteries! (See Charging the Ni-Cd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the transmitter and

󾾙

receiver batteries before each ying session. A low battery will soon die potentially, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your ying session, reset your T8FGS’s built-in timer, and during the session

pay attention to the duration of usage.

Stop ying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery

󾾙

warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each ight.

Where to Fly

We recommend that you y at a recognized model airplane ying eld. You can nd model clubs and elds 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.

Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Safety and Handling instructions

IMPORTANT!

Use only the Futaba special charger included with this set or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge the Ni-MH batteries in the T8FGS transmitter included with this set.

It is important to understand the operating characteristics of Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries.Always read the specications printed on the label of your Ni-MH/Ni-Cd 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 Ni-MH/Ni-Cd packs or cells.

󾾛

Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.

󾾛

Always provide adequate ventilation around Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries during charge, discharge, while in

󾾙

use, and during storage. Do not leave a Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.

󾾛

Do not attempt to charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Ni-MH/Ni-Cd

󾾛

batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result. Always charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries in a reproof location. Do not charge or discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd

󾾙

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 re alarm.

Do not charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals

󾾛

the rated capacity of the battery). Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees

󾾛

Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a reproof location. Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.

󾾙

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 Ni-MH/Ni-Cd 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 re-proof

location for at least 30 minutes.

Do not store batteries near an open ame or heater.

󾾛

Do not discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the

󾾛

battery.

Always store Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells/packs in a secure location away from children.

󾾙

Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card Handling Instructions

(SD card is not included with this set)

Never remove the SD card or turn off power while

󾾛

entering data.

Never store the SD card where it may be subject

󾾛

to strong static electricity or magnetic elds. Do not expose the SD card to direct sunlight,

󾾛

excessive humidity or corrosive environments.

Do not expose the SD card to dirt, moisture, water

󾾛

or uids of any kind. Always hold the SD card by the edges during

󾾙

installation and removal.

Be certain to insert the SD card in the correct

󾾙

direction.

Page 9

At the ying eld

To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.

2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.

3. Conrm the proper model memory has been selected.

4. Turn on your receiver power.

5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to y until you determine the cause of the

problem.

Test to ensure that the FailSafe settings are correct after adjusting them. Turn the transmitter off and

conrm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.

6. Start your engine.

7. Complete a full range check.

8. After ying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your

motor/engine.

9. Turn off receiver power.

10. Turn off transmitter power.

If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, ood 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 y, 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, damage to your transmitter may occur.

In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times.

󾾙

Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested. Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model.

Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during ight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio

󾾛

frequency transmission.

As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the

󾾙

transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your ying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation.

Don’t y 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 y in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never y if lightning is expected.

Easy Link (T8FGS/R6208SB)

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 R6208SB 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 one (1) meter.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Check the LED that is placed on the front side of the transmitter to see if the RF signal is active. When the right LED is ON solid, the RF signal is being sent.

4. Turn on the receiver.

6. When the linking is complete, the LED in the receiver will change to solid green. Please conrm that the servos are now operational from your transmitter. Please refer to the table below for the LED status of the receiver's condition.

* If there are many FASST systems turned on around your

receiver, it might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately

the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice

this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to doublecheck whether your receiver is

really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

Range Testing Your R/C System

It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each ying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time ying. The T8FGS transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such

a range check.

Range check mode

We have installed a special "Range check mode" for doing a ground range check. To access the "Range check mode" touch and hold the RTN

button while turning on the transmitter. Doing so will bring up POWER MODE menu.

The present model

To activate the "Range check mode" touch the

RTN button and the range check mode screen will

appear.

During this mode, the RF power output is

reduced so the range test can be performed. In

addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a

beeping sound every 3 seconds.

The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return

to the normal level. To exit the "Range check

mode" before the 90 seconds, select the "RANGE

CHECK" at the top of the screen and touch the RTN button again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to re-use this function the

transmitter power must be cycled. NEVER start ying when the "Range check mode" is active.

Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time

expires and press the RTN button one time.

Range check procedure

1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control.

2. If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible, location so it will be within reach after starting the engine or motor. Be certain the throttle stick is in the low throttle position, then start the engine or motor. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. We would strongly suggest you do not y until the source of the difculty has been determined. Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged.

RECEIVER AND SERVO INSTALLATION

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] or [Before using]. When mounting the receiver and servos to the fuselage, connect the necessary points in accordance with the model's instruction manual.

Receiver and servos connection diagram

Always connect the necessary number of servos.

The receiver channel assignment depends on the model type. See the Servo connection by model type tables.

• S.BUS system

Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS system uses data communication to transmit control signals from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device. This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees” to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their own set channel. For this reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the same signal line.

Precautions when mounting the receiver and servos

Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery.

• Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly

and “keys” into the corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them

in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector

instead.

• If your aileron servo (or others) are too far away to plug into the receiver, use a servo extension

cord to extend the length of the servo lead. Additional Futaba extension cords of varying lengths are available from your hobby dealer.

Always use an extension of the proper length.

Avoid plugging multiple extensions together to attain your desired length. If distance is greater

than 18” or multiple or high current draw servos are being used, use Futaba Heavy-Duty servo

extensions.

• Always mount the servos with the supplied

rubber grommets. Do not over tighten the

screws. No part of the servo casing should contact the mounting rails, servo tray or any other part of the airplane/helicopter structure. Otherwise, vibration will be transmitted to the servo causing premature wear and/or servo failure.

Servo

Rubber

grommet

• Note the small numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) molded into

each arm on the Futaba 4-arm servo arms. The

numbers indicate how many degrees each arm is “off” from 90 degrees to correct for minute

manufacturing deviations from servo to servo.

on the servo.

• After the servos are installed, operate each servo

over its full travel and check that the pushrods and servo arms do not bind or contact each other. Also

make sure the controls do not require excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is probably too

much resistance in the control. Find and correct

the problem. Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result.

• Use the mounting plate from the receiver on/off switch as a template for the cutout and screw holes. Mount the switch on the side of the fuselage opposite the engine exhaust, and where it won’t be inadvertently turned on or off during handling or storage. Be certain the switch moves without restriction and “snaps” from ON to OFF, and that the cutout allows full motion of the switch in both directions.

• When you install the switch harness to the helicopter, please use the switch cover. Generally sandwich the frame between the switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws. Different models might require different installations. If so, please follow the model's instruction manual.

• To prevent the servo lead wires from being broken by vibration during ight, provide a slight amount of slack or extra so that the wire sticks

out slightly and fasten it at suitable points. In

addition, periodically check the wire during daily

maintenance.

• To center the servos, connect them to the receiver

and turn on the transmitter and receiver. Center

the trims on the transmitter, then nd the arm that will be perpendicular to the pushrod when placed

Margin in the lead wire.

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

Receiver's Antenna Installation

You will note that the R6208SB differs in appearance from the standard Futaba receiver. This receiver incorporate two separate antennas into their design which enables them to receive the radio frequency transmission at two different locations.

*Must be kept as straight as possible.

Antenna

Coaxial cable

R6208SB Receiver

Futaba's dual antenna diversity then seamlessly selects the best signal reception between these antennas

to ensure that there is no loss of signal.

To obtain the best results of the diversity

function, please refer to the following 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

*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. *The main purpose of the photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed. *Receiver Vibration and Waterproong: 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.

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE

Airplane/glider basic setting procedure

1. Model addition and selection

Initially, the T8FGS assigns the first model to model-01 in the transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select amongst models which are

already set.

The T8FGS is capable of storing data for up to 20 models in its internal memory. Additional model data can also be saved to an optional SD card.

The currently selected model name is displayed

in the center of the home screen. Before ying and before changing any settings, always confirm the

model name.

When a new model is added, the Model type

select screen and FASST mode/Area select setup

screen automatically appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting temporarily when you change the model.

manual. For a description of the connection

method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.

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.)

● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu.

● Adjust the neutral position and control surface angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub-Trim and End Point functions (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 and limit of each channel.

2. Model type selection

Select the model type matched to the aircraft

with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from

among the 2 types: airplane and glider. And then

select the wing type and the tail type matched to

the aircraft.

3. Fuselage linkage

Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder,

etc. in accordance with the model's instruction

4. Throttle cut setting (Airplane)

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 fully closed.

For safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position.

Page 38

5. Idle down setting (Airplane)

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 lowest part of its throw.

*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle

Down function does not work.

6. D/R function

D/R function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick functions (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle) for each switch position (airplane) or each ight condition (glider). This is normally used after the modeler has dened the maximum throw directions in the End Point

settings.

(Airplane)

speed of the aileron, elevator, and ap servos can be adjusted. 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 ight conditions (Glider)

The Condition Select function automatically

allocates the normal condition (NORMAL) for each model. NORMAL is the default condition and is the only one active when a new model type is dened.

If you want to add ight conditions, please refer

to a description of the CONDITION function, p.80.

*The NORMAL is always on, and remains on until other

conditions are activated by switches, stick positions, etc. Please refer to the section entitled Switch Selection Method for additional information on how to do so.

*It is possible to customize the activation of the flight

conditions.

*The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel.

The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

(Glider)

7. Airbrake (Airplane)

This function is used when an airbrake is necessary when taking off or diving, etc. Please

note: this menu item is only available under certain

wing congurations. For example, it will not appear if a single aileron wing type has been selected.

The pre-set elevator and ap offset amount can be activated by a switch.

The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the

Page 39

Helicopter basic setting procedure

This section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T8FGS. Adjust the actual values,

etc. to match the fuselage used.

1. Model addition and selection

Initially, the T8FGS assigns the first model to model-01 in the transmitter. To add new models or to select a model already programmed, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.

This is convenient when selecting a model

after entering the model's names in advance. The T8FGS is capable of storing up to 20 models in the transmitter's internal memory. Additional models can also be stored in an optional SD card.

The currently selected model is displayed in

the middle of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model

name.

When a new model is added, the Model Type select screen and Frequency setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the swash

type and receiver type of the model used.

3. Flight condition addition

The transmitter offers up to ve ight conditions

per model.

The Condition Select function automatically

allocates ve conditions for helicopters.

(Initial setting)

● NORMAL

● IDLE UP1 (SW-E)

● IDLE UP2 (SW-E)

● IDLE UP3 (SW-F)

●HOLD (Hold switch is not assigned initially)

Note: Since you may accidentally activate a condition that not previously setup during

ight which could cause a crash, we suggest

deleting conditions that are not used.

*For a description of the condition deletion, refer to the

Condition Select function, p.80.

The NORMAL condition is always on, and

remains on until other conditions are activated by

switches.

The priority is throttle hold/idle up 3/idle up

2/idle up 1/normal. Throttle hold has the highest

priority.

The Condition Delay can be programmed for

each channel and condition. The Condition Delay

is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

2. Model type and swash type selection

If a different 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 helicopter.

*The Model Type function automatically selects the

appropriate output channels, control functions, and mixing functions for the chosen model type. Six swash types are

available for helicopters.

*For a description of the swash type selection, refer to the

MODEL TYPE function, p.61-62.

(General ight condition setting example)

● Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate when switch OFF)

Use from engine starting to hovering.

● Idle up 1: (Operate at SW-E center)

Use in 540º stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and other maneuvers.

● Idle up 2: (Operate at SW-E forward side)

Use in rolls.

● Throttle hold: (Operate at SW-G forward side)

Use in auto rotation.

Page 40

4. Servo Connection

Connect the throttle rudder, aileron, elevator,

pitch, and other servos in accordance with the

kit instruction manual. For a description of the

connection method, see "Receiver and Servos

Connection".

Note: The channel assigned to each function

can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.

● If the direction of operation of the servo is incorrect, use the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR function in other than the H-1 mode.

5. Throttle/Pitch curve setting

This function adjusts the throttle or pitch

operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition.

Activate the throttle curve of each condition with

the condition select switch.

●Normal curve adjustment

Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.

●Idle up curve adjustment

The low side Throttle curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).

●Throttle hold curve adjustment

The curve is not used when performing auto rotation dives.

Conrm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).

● Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro. (Gyro side function)

● Connect the throttle linkage so that the carburetor can fully close at full trim throttle cut.

● Adjust the neutral position at the linkage side and ne tune with the Sub-Trim function and End Point function. To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function.

● Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)

*If any interactions are noticed, for a description of the

linkage correction function, please refer to the SWASH function, p.73.

Activate the pitch curve of each condition with

the condition select switch.

●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.

●Pitch curve (Idle up 1)

The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne ight.

Set to -7º~+12º as standard.

●Pitch curve (Idle up 2)

The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1.

The standard is +8º.

●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

Page 41

6. D/R function

D/R function is used to adjust the throw and

operation curve of aileron, elevator and rudder for

each condition.

*For throttle and pitch curve settings, refer to the afore-

mentioned "Throttle/Pitch curve setting"

This is normally used after End Point has dened

the maximum throw directions.

7. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching

The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is utilized to adjust the gyro mixing of the model, 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, during auto rotations with a tail-

driven helicopter, this function may not have

any effect on the high gyro sensitivity.

8. Pitch to RUD mixing setting

Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY520,

GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this

Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The

reaction torque is corrected by the gyro.

When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode,

the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation

symptoms and the gyro will not operate

normally.

for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)

Activate the mixing curve of each condition with

the condition select switch.

A curve setting example is shown below.

●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.

●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.

●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.

9. Throttle hold setting

*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD

function, p.127.

10. Throttle cut setting

Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the

engine, by 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.

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 above, do not use Pitch

to rudder mixing.

Activate the Pitch to rudder (Pit -->RUD) mixing function from the Model Menu, and set the curve

*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the

engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not

binding.

11. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and pitch interaction

The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (Left/Right Cyclic) and elevator (Forward/Aft Cyclic) direction

corresponding to each operation of each condition.

Page 42

12. Throttle mixing setting

*If throttle mixing is necessary for a compensation for

slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during aileron or elevator operation, please refer to the THROTTLE MIX function, p.129.

13. Other special mixings

●Pitch to Needle mixing

This mixing is used with engines with a design which allows needle control during flight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set.

●Governor mixing

This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a GV-1 (governor) is used.

match the training ability to the student's skill level.

Two transmitters must be connected by an optional trainer cord, and the instructor's transmitter should be programmed for trainer operation, as described below.

When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX or FUNC mode is turned on, the Instructor can make corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the Instructor regains control.

This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft into an undesirable situation.

You can select the channel input data from the

student transmitter as either "FUNC" or "MIX"

mode. These options make it easier to use a variety

of receivers, transmitters, etc.

It is also possible to use the virtual channel (VC) at “FUNC” or “MIX” mode or to use the trainer system with ying wing airplanes.

When using T8FGS as the student transmitter,

the trainer function is not used.

(*1)

You can select the operation mode for each channel.

(NORM/MIX/FUNC/OFF)

NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the

following manner;

1. With the T8FGS transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different, it is necessary to match the channel order before using this function.

You can select the channel of input data

from student's transmitter in the "FUNC" or "MIX" mode.

2. When the T8FGS is used as the instructor’s transmitter, set the modulation mode of the student’s transmitter to PPM.

If being used as the student, T8FGS can be

connected to the instructor's transmitter which the PPM mode as the student's modulation mode is required. T8FGS always sends PPM mode signal from the trainer jack.

3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in

both transmitters before ying.

T8FGS/T8FG/T12FG special trainer cable

Use the T8FGS/T8FG/T12FG special trainer cable (FUTM4405) when using the T8FGS, T8FG or T12FG transmitter at the trainer function instructor side. Operation may not be normal with a conventional trainer cable.

*If the T8FGS, T8FG or T12FG transmitter is used as the student transmitter when the instructor transmitter is

not a T8FGS, T8FG or T12FG, a conventional trainer cable may be used.

SWASH

Swash AFR and linkage correction function. (helicopter only, except swash type H-1)

Neutral Point

At your linkages, if the servo horn deviates from

a perpendicular position at neutral, the linkage

compensation functions in this menu may not compensate effectively. To correct this use the

Neutral Point function. This will move the neutral

point of the servos to the actual perpendicular

position. However, this adjustment changes only

the axis point of the compensation functions in this

menu, and does not affect the neutral position of

other functions.

Swash AFR

Swash AFR function reduces, increases, or reverses the rate (travel) of the aileron, elevator and collective pitch functions, by adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only when using that function.

Mixing Rate

This mixing is used to compensate the swash-

plate as necessary during specific control inputs.

● Select [SWASH] in the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button.

The following compensation mixing is possible; PIT to AIL, PIT to ELE, AIL to PIT, ELE to AIL, and ELE to PIT (HR3 mode.) It adjusts the swash-

plate to for proper operation of each control using the corresponding compensation mixing.

Linkage Compensation

This compensation mixing is used to correct the

swash-plate for pitch control at low pitch and high

pitch.

Speed Compensation

This function is used to cancel the reaction that

is generated by the difference in the movements of

each servo when the swash-plate moves.
