•FEATURES

The FP-8SSHP is a digital proportional R/C set with PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) for helicopters. The system is extremely noise and dead-point resistant digital proportional R/C sets with a microprocessor in the transmitter and receiver. The FP-8SSHP was specially developed fo r FA I RC aerobatics F3C use. Please read this manual before using y ou r set.

• Newly designed rotatable open gimbal stick provide maximum operation feel. Stick position and spring tension can be adjusted.

•RF module system. The frequency band can

be changed with one touch.

•Dual ratio) on the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels. Aileron and elevator dual rate can be switched simultaneously, or independently.

•Easy-to-adjust two-knob revolution mixing. Pitch control -> rudder and throttle -> pitch control mixing.

•Revolution mixing compensation. The revolution mixing (pitch control -> rudder mixing) up side can be set in the direction at which the mixing amount to the rudder becomes smaller. This increases high-speed s tra ightforward flight and also minimizes the power loss.

•Acceleration mixing.

•Throttle hold function for auto-rotation.

•Throttle time at throttle hold can be freely set with a built-in delay circuit.

•Four for hovering and maneuvering.

•New single-chip microprocessor allows onetouch fail safe setting and introduction of an automatic transmission system which eliminates the need for fail safe setting at the beginning of each flight and improves safety.

•Hovering throttle permits independent adjustment of the hovering point throttle position.

•Hovering pitch lever permits independent adjustment of the hovering point pitch without regard to the throttle.

ATV

ATV is the abbreviation of Adjustable Travel Volume. It is a device which allows independent a djustment of the servo left and right (up and down) throw without affecting the neutral position. Because of the engine torque, precision of the model, and for other reasons, the radius of left and right turns is always different even if the left and right steering throws are perfectly matched. The A T V is most convenient when lef t tu r ns are good, but right turns are to sharp. In this case, left and right turns of the same radius can be easily made by reducing the servo right throw slightly. The aileron and elevator 2nd ATV is the conventional trimmer type ATV.

CCP mixing is performed after the helicopter corrective pitch and cyclic pitch control systems are electrically mixed.

FS (Fail safe function)

FS is a function which moves the servo of each channel to a position preset on the transmitter when no radio waves are received by the receiver from the transmitter or when continuous strong noise is received for about one second or longer. The set operates by the hold mode in one second and then, by the FS mode. When the noise or interference disappears and normal radio waves are received in approximately one second, FS is released.

HOLD (Hold function)

HOLD is a function which stops all the servos specified by

BFS MEMORY SETTING

1 BFS (Battery fail safe function) is a function which

moves the throttle servo to a preset position as set by the FS when there is only a small amount of power left in the receiver Nicd battery. (If not set, the throttle servo will be set to medium slow automatically.)

2 The BFS setting method is the same

usage method previously described.

tion

set

by BFS and throttle lever in the slow direction. When the throttle lever reaches a certain point, BPS will be released and the throttle servo can be controlled for 36 seconds.

4 Setting this throttle lever point is called BFS

memory setting, and is done a s follows:

•First, set switch [35] to BFS MEMO.SET and set switch [3 4] to position [3] (throttle channel.).

• Next, while watching the movement of the servo, set the throttle lever to the desired position (between slow and medium s low recommended) and press buttons [32] and [33] simultaneously. This completes BFS memory setting.

•General adjustments

Make the basic fuselage linkages and adjustments according to the helicopter manufac-

turer's assembly and adjustment instructions.

1. Check the direction of operation of each servo. If the servo rotates in the wrong direction, switch the setting of the pertinent servo reserving switch.

2. Set the idle up [1] switch [21]

and throttle hold switch [23] to OFF (to the

opposite side).

3. Set the hovering pitch lever [6] and hovering throttl e knob [22] to about the center of the scale.

4. Check the left and r ight (up a nd down) throw of each servo. If the throw is wrong, correct it with the ATV trimmer and by changing the hole position of the servo horn, etc.

(5 Set the throttle lever

um slow position and set the hovering memory switch [34] to ON. Set the compensation setting amount to 0 by turning the hovering mix compensation setting trimmer [16] on the trimmer panel at the back of the transmitter.

6 Set the revolution mixing up knob [17] to about

division 5 and the revolution mixing down knob

[18] to about division 7.

7. Check the pitch control -> rudder mixing direction.

If the direction is wrong, correct it with switch [22] on the trimmer panel on the back of the transmitter.

AIRCRAFT ADJUSTMENTS

•Revolution Mixing Compensation Adjustment

When high speed level flight is performed with a helicopter, the tail rotor reverse torque required is small, however the high side revolution mixing amount is large, the fuselage will veer to the right. The power loss by the tail rotor becomes large. (Opposite when the main rotor rotates counterclockwise.)

If only the mix amount "up side" is reduced at the high side about 70% of the throttle stick at this time, maneuverability also improves and the power loss is also reduced.

•IDLE UP 1 ADJUSTMENT

1 Hover and check the throttle lever hovering posi-

tion.

2 Stop the engine, set the throttle lever to the hover-

ing position, and set the idle up 1 knob [20] to division 10 (maximum). Adjust the idle up point up and down with trimmer [9] of the throttle trimmers ter. Make this adjustment so that the throttle servo does not operate when switch [19] is turned ON and OFF. Idle up is maximum at this point.

3 When the idle up 1 switch [19] is set to ON, the

throttle servo operates up to the position set at the idle up 1 knob

4 Set the idle up 1 knob

and set the throttle lever to maximum slow.

5 Next, set switch [19] to ON and turn knob [20] slowly

clockwise. While slowly accelerating the engine, set

the rotor speed to the same speed as when hovering.

6 With this setting, the change in the main rotor and

tail rotor speed from takeoff to hovering is small, the change in the effect of the rate gyro and servos is also small, and aerobatics are extremely easy.

FLIGHT

• Pe rf or m normal flight and adjust the pitch.

• After adjustment, switch from normal inverted flight. There are various methods of changing from normal flight to inverted flight. One method is to enter inverted flight by making a half roll from straight

flight.

* First, make a half roll from straight horizontal

flight at an altitude of about 30m and when the helicopter is exactly on its back, turn on the inverted flight function by pulling the [26] switch back. If

the throttle lever remain high at thi s time, the

posture of the helicopter will change suddenly. Shifting to inverted flight can be performed smoothly by lowering the throttle lever to about medium slow.

* Learn the [26] switch switching timing,

lever operating setting, etc. by practicing normal flight < - > inverted flight switching repeatedly.

• Next, switch from inverted straight flight to inverted

hovering. * Lower the altitude by slowly lowering the throttle

lever.

flight to

throttle

• After adjusting normal flight, adjust inverted flight. * Before flight, set the [26] switch to the back posi-

tion (inverted flight function ON) and set the throttle lever to maximum slow, then set the mini-

mum pitch at inverted flight with the [A] trimmer.

* Next, set the throttle lever to maximum high and

set the maximum pitch at inverted flight with the [B] trimmer.

* The [A] and [B] trimmers can be adjusted only

whe n the [26] switch is in the back (inverted flight function ON) position.

* Since the [6] hovering pitch lever and [13] pitch

control high side trimmer lever control the pitch control servo even at inverted flight, they can be adjusted to the optimum pitch.

* At this time, when the helicopter descends slug-

gishly and the main rotor speed drops even when the throttle lever is lowered, return to normal flight, then land and lower the lowest pitch of the main rotor at inverted flight with the [A] trimmer.

* Set th e [6] hovering pitch lever, etc. so that the

main rotor speed at inverted hovering and normal

hovering is about the same. * If the difference it too large, readjust the linkage. Finally, check the high side pitch. * Try setting the throttle lever to maximum high at

inverted hovering. * If the main rotor speed drops at this time, lower

the high side pitch with the [13] pitch control high

side trim lever, then land and correct the [13] lever

portion with the [B] trimmer.
