• FEATURES
The FP-7FGH was specially developed for model helicopters.
Please read this manual carefully before using your new set.
•RF module systems allows one-touch changing of the frequency band.
•Aileron
and quarter scale models and gliders.
•Servo reversing switch for each channel allows
reversing of the servo direction by simply flipping a switch.
•Two
tor, and rudder channels. Aileron and elevator
dual rate can be switched simultaneously or
independently.
•Newly
stick with adjustable tension and lever head.
•Pitch control -> rudder and throttle ->> pitch
control mixing.
•Throttle hold function for auto-rotation.
•High and Low pitch cab trimmer permits ad-
justment of the best pitch for hovering and
maneuvering.
•Idle
aerobatics.
•Throttle High and Low ATL (Adjustable
Throttle Limiter) allows simple, reliable throttle
linkage hook-up.
•ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume) on AILER-
ON, ELEVATOR & RUDDER channels allows
independent adjustment of the servo left. right,
up. and down throw.
•Trainer system offers an easy training of flight
for beginners. FM systems are not compatible
with AM systems.
•Highest
phisticated designs. The transmitter fits easily
into your hand.
•Neck strap supplied as a standard accessory.
This transmitter has numerous functions which
can be easily operated when using the neck
strap.
