FEATURES OF FP-5NLH
The FP-5NLH for helicopters is an FM proportional radio con-
trol
set
for helicopters
result of the exhaustive pursuit of easier operation. Newly de-
signed sticks for smooth and positive operation, servo revers-
ing switches for all channels, aileron and elevator AST (Ad-
justable
Servo
Throw),
innovations based on the opinions of many RC modelers.
TRANSMITTER FP-T5NLH
• Reliability substantially improved by using industrial robots to assemble the PC board.
• Servo reversing switch for each channel. Servos are reversed by using
this switch
• Aileron and elevator AST (Adjustable Servo Throw). Servo throw can
be set as desired.
• Easy-to-adjust two knob type revolution mixing. Throttle pitch con-
trol rudder mixing.
• Pitch control trimmer. Approximately 30% of the pitch control servo
throw can be trimmed, this allows optimum pitch control of the
model.
• Throttle hold switch and trimmer for auto rotation.
• This allows the Rotor r.p.m. to maintained at an effective control
speed, even when the pitch is reduced, allowing maneuvers which
were impossible in the past to be performed.
• Newly designed open gimbal sticks operate smoothly and reliably.
Spring tension mechanism allows adjustment of the operating feel of
the stick lever.
• Nonslip adjustable lever head allows adjustment of the stick length as
desired.
• Throttle ATL. Adjustable throttle limiter type throttle trim. As the

convenient when connecting the linkage, etc.
• RF PC board module system.
• Functional case, created as a result of the exhaustive pursuit of easier
operation, has evolved a thick case which fits into the palm of the
hand.
• Square level meter at the transmitter indicates the power supply
voltage.
• Excellent radiation efficiency, strong 8-stage telescoping antenna.
• Neck strap bracket provided as standard. Operation is easier if the
transmitter is hung from your neck by using the optional neck strap.
• Built-in NiCad battery.

RECEIVER FP-R107N
• Compact, high performance FM 7-channel receiver with PC board
space reduced to a minimum.
•Special IF amp for radio communications improves the effective
receiving range stability.
• Narrow band ceramic filter improves rejection of adjacent channel
interference.
• Futaba original squelch circuit reduces erroneous operation by weak
signals (when passing a dead point, etc.) and erroneous operation by
natural noise when no signals are being received.
• Large capacitor copes with voltage changes when a battery is used.
• Vibration-resistant pin connectors.
• Fiberglass epoxy PC board with thru-the-hole plating is vibration and
shock resistant.

SERVO FP-S130
SMALL, RUGGED, HIGH NEUTRAL SERVO
• Small, double ball bearing, water-tight & dusttight servo. High output
torque 55.6 oz-in (4kg-cm), high-speed 0.24sec/60°
• New indirect drive potentiometer improves vibration and shock resistance and neutral accuracy.
• Futaba low-power custom 1C provides extremely high torque, narrow
dead band, and superior tracking.
• Fiberglass reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) injection
molded servo case is mechanically strong and invulnerable to glow
fuel.
• Strong polyacetal resin ultra-precision servo gear features smooth
operation, positive neutral, and very little backlash.
• Fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin PC board with thru-the-hole plating
improves servo amp vibration and shock resistance.
• Three pin connector eliminates faulty contact and improves reliability
against vibration and shock. Housing has a reverse insertion prevention mechanism.
• Special grommet simplifies mounting of the servo and has an excellent cushioning effect.
• Six special adjustable splined horns.

Throttle hold switch
When this switch is ON, the throttle servo stops at the position set
with trimmer and only the pitch servo is controlled toy the
throttle stick. It is used for auto rotation landings. When this, switch
is OFF, the throttle and pitch servos are mixed. The switch is turned on when pulled forward.
Throttle hold trimmer
Trimmer which

Idle up switch
When this switch is pulled forward, it is turned on and the position
set with the idle up trimmer on the back of the transmitter
becomes the maximum slow position of the throttle servo. When
this switch is set to OFF, the normal slow position of the stick becomes the maximum slow position of the throttle servo.
Power switch The upper position is ON.
