$$ \bigcirc = \text {P r o h i b i t e d} $$

$$ \mathbf {!} = \text {M a n d a t o r y} $$

Warning: Always keep electrical components away from small children.

FLYING SAFETY

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

Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 14MZ protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regular checkups. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying season for a complete checkup and service.
Use the Fail-Safe safety feature to set the throttle to low-idle In case of signal loss or RX battery failure. Engine power will be automatically reduced to help limit personal or property damage. Refer to the Failsafe Setting Procedure listed in the index.

Receiver Ni-Cd Battery

Charge the batteries! (See Charging the batteries listed in the index for details.) Always recharge the receiver batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage.

CAUTION: The initial charge on new NiCd receiver batteries should be done for 15 hours using the slow-charger that came with the radio system. This will "condition" the batteries so that the next charge may be done using the fast-charger of your choice. If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not reach their full capacity and you may be flying with batteries that are only partially charged.

Where to Fly

We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields 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.

IMPORTANT! The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries included in the 14MZ transmitter are not to be confused with Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries, or any other type of rechargeable battery (including NiCd's and NiMH's). Li-Ion batteries require special charging criteria different than other rechargeable batteries. Use only the Futaba lithium ion transmitter charger included with this set for, or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge the Li-Ion batteries in the 14MZ transmitter.

It is important to understand the operating characteristics of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Always read the specifications printed on the label of your Li-Ion 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 Li-Ion packs or cells.
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
Always provide adequate ventilation around Li-Ion batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage.
Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion 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 fire alarm, and have a lithium-approved "ABC type" fire extinguisher available at all times.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at currents greater than the "1C" rating of the battery ("C" equals the rated capacity of the battery).
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60^OC) should be placed in a fireproof location.
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 Li-Ion 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 fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do not discharge Li-Ion batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.
Always store Li-Ion cells/packs in a secure location away from children.

Compact Flash (CF) Card Handling Instructions Follow these precautions when handling the CF card included in your 14MZ transmitter.

Never remove the CF card or turn off power while entering data.

Do not expose the CF card to dirt, moisture, water or fluids of any kind.

Never store the CF card where it may be subject to strong static electricity or magnetic fields.

Always hold the CF card by the edges during installation and removal.

Do not expose the CF card to direct sunlight, excessive humidity or corrosive environments.

Be certain to insert the CF card in the correct direction.

Always pay particular attention to the flying fields' rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity. If you must fly away from a club field, be sure there are no other modelers flying within a three-to-five-mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose control.
Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency control device (pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning on your transmitter. It is never possible to fly two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. Even though there are different types of modulation (AM, FM, PCM), only one model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio's low-battery warning systems, which are intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Set the throttle stick to the idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
3. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
4. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
5. Turn on your receiver power.
6. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don't attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)
7. Start your engine.
8. Complete a full range check.
9. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
10. Turn off receiver power.
11. Turn off transmitter power.

If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood 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 fly, 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.
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its' full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.
Don't fly 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 fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.
! Never turn the transmitter off during flight! Switching the transmitter off and on during flight will very likely cause a crash because of the time required for the transmitter to "reboot" and become fully functional.

Safety precautions when you install receiver and servos

Warning

Connecting connectors

Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point.

*If a connecter comes out during the flight due to some reasons such as vibration, your aircraft will crash.

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.

*Strong physical shock or water infiltration may damage the receiver and let the receiver malfunction to crash your aircraft.

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 such as frames.

*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the radio reception sensitivity and the flight area, causing the crash.

Servos 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, your aircraft may crash because the servo would be damaged and the battery would be consumed rapidly.

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 a servo case is in direct contact with the airframe, the vibration of the airframe directly travels to and may damage the servo.

Internal antenna mounting (Airplanes)

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 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 muffler.

How to turn ON/OFF the power of the transmitter

Windows® CE is installed as a built-in operating system in the T14MZ transmitter. Compared to the conventional system, the T14MZ takes extra time for internal processing when it is turned on/off. For safety reasons, the radio will be emitting only after you push the confirmation button when turning on the power. Please follow the instructions for turning on/off the transmitter.

When turning on the power of the transmitter

1. Turn on the power switch of the transmitter.

*After initialization of the transmitter is over, the frequency confirmation screen pops up, and LED monitor turns on pink.

1. Check the frequency shown on the screen. If it is OK, then click the button "YES".

LED monitor turns to green and the transmitter begins to emit radio waves.
If you push the button "NO", then the transmitter will not emit radio waves.

Then, you will see the home screen and you will be able to set conditions.

Start-up time; The time required for initializing the internal circuit of the transmitter varies between the previous time you turned off the transmitter and the time you will turned on the power. There are two "start up" modes for your transmitter, see below:

Cold start;

If you turn on the transmitter more than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is "Cold start". "Cold start" is normal for the first initial power up of the day. It will take about 30 seconds to be ready for use, as it takes time to initialize the internal circuit of the transmitter.

Hot start;

If you turn on the transmitter less than four hours after you last turned it off, the mode is "Hot start". Since initialization has been partly completed, the transmitter will be ready to use in several seconds. "Hot start" takes place usually at a second flight or later flight in the day.

Warning

Once you turn on the power, never shut off the power switch until the power becomes stable (or until the first screen shows up). If you turn off the power switch while the transmitter is going through the initialization process, the data could be damaged. Note: The start-up time may be a little bit slower when the CF card is installed compared to when the card is not.

How to stop the transmitter

Turn off the power switch of the transmitter. The internal circuit of the transmitter starts the shut down process including saving the set-up data. The LED will blink yellow while the transmitter is in the shutdown process.

Once you turn off the power, never operate the power switch until the power shutdown process is fully completed. If you turn on the power switch again while the transmitter is still in the process of power shutdown, the data could be damaged.

As the internal circuit of the transmitter stays on the standby mode for 4 hours after turning off the power, some part of the circuit is consuming current. When you turn on the power during this period, the power starts in "Hot mode". But if more than four hours pass after shutting down the power, the power supply will completely shut down the internal circuit. When you turn on the power after this point, the power starts in "Cold start mode".

How to reset software

If the screen freezes for some reason and you cannot edit, the transmitter power supply is not shut off even if you turn OFF the power switch. You will need to use the reset button or remove the battery and reinsert it again. In this case, the power restarts in "Cold mode". Even though the screen freezes, all the other functions for radio control operation remain operative.

How to change the frequency/How to set ID

The T14MZ system has employed the frequency synthesizer scheme. The T14MZ transmitter will set the frequency of the R5014DPS (PCMG3 receiver) by the wireless data transmission. When you are using a new PCMG3 receiver and changing the frequency, set ID or frequency by the following instructions.

In case of using PCMG3 receivers

*Make sure that PCM-G3 is set as a modulation scheme. Then change the frequency by the following instruction.

Once you set the ID code for a receiver, you don't have to set the ID code again as long as you change the receiver itself.
When you need to use two receivers for a large size aircraft, you need to enter different ID codes to those receivers respectively.
4. Push the "Band NO. (Frequency)" button if you need to change the frequency. Then you will see frequencies on the screen. Select the frequency you want use. Push the button "Yes" after confirmation. Then you will see the "Confirmation of the change" box.
If you have changed the module prior to turning on the power, confirmation screen will pop up to ask you whether you want to change the frequency. Push the button "Yes" to change the frequency.
5. If the frequency is correct, push the button "Yes". Then you will see the message "Transmitting the frequency data". It takes a certain time to send the new frequency data to the receiver with a sound. (If you need to resend the data, push the "Resend" button.)
6. Turn on the power of the receiver while the

new frequency data is displayed. When the frequency setting for the receiver is completed, the LED monitor of the receiver blinks once and the 1CH servo shuttles three times across the neutral position.

• A very low power, whose frequency is different from that of the channel frequency, is used to set the frequency of the receiver. The reachable distance of the radio is designed to be within several feet. Therefore, put the transmitter and the receiver as close as possible when setting the frequency of the receiver.
• If the receiver can not load the new data due to environmental reasons, connect the transmitter and the receiver directly by the DSC cable. And do the procedure 6 and 7.
  *LED monitor will blink on and off if the receiver's ID code is wrong. Then move back to the Receiver ID Set screen and restart the receiver's ID setting from the beginning.
• Push the button "End" when the frequency setting is completed. Then turn off the power of the transmitter following the instructions shown on the screen. You will be able to use the new frequency after you turn on the power again.

*When the CF card is not inserted, the CF card information is not displayed.

• Touch the [Information] button at the System Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Airplane/glider basic setting procedure 1. Model addition and call

Initial setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to call models which are already set.

This is convenient when calling a model after its name has been registered. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)

The currently called model name is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name.

When a new model was added, the Model type select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/ Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. After changing or confirming the model, turn the power off and on according to the instructions on the screen. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.

2. Model type selection

Select the model type matched to the fuselage with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 3 types: airplane, glider, and motor glider. When the Wing type select screen is displayed and the wing type is selected when selecting the model type, the Tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the fuselage.

There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane, glider, and motor glider.

3. Fuselage linkage

Link the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.

Note: The channel assignment of the T14MZ is different from that of our existing systems. 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.)

• When the direction of the linkage is reversed, adjust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu.

• Connect the throttle linkage so carburetor is open at full trim and full open then the throttle can be cut.
• Adjust the neutral position and rudder angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub Trim and End Point functions (rudder 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, limit, and servo speed of each channel.

4. Throttle cut setting

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

5. Idle down setting

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 1/3 or les (slow side) position.

*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle Down function does not work.

6. AFR (D/R)

AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions (End Point acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function.

7. Airbrake

This function is used when an air brake is necessary when taking off or diving, etc.

The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake flap) 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 speed of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted. (IN side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition, and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can be chosen. Trim amounts can be fine-tuned by setting a VR 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 flight conditions

The transmitter can install up to eight flight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as flight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for flight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to define what switches and/or controls are used to activate each flight condition.

The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 1 for each model type. Condition 1 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. This condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.

The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

When a new condition is added, "Condition1" data is automatically copied.
Select the condition switch and set the new condition data in the switch ON state. However, if the group mode (Gr.) was selected in advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the single mode (Sngl) and adjust the condition you want to change.

9. When tailless wing model selected

Tailless wing elevator operation uses elevator camber mixing. This function cannot be performed at initial setting.

Helicopter basic setting procedure

1. Model addition and call

Default setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ. To add new models or to call a model already set, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.

This is convenient when calling a model after registering the model names in advance. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)

The currently called model is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name.

Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.

When a new model is added, the Model Type Select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type of the model used.

2. Model type and swash type selection

When a separate 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 fuselage.

3. Flight condition addition

The transmitter can install up to eight flight conditions per model. You can assign all switches including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches as flight-condition selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority order for flight conditions when you set more than one condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions. This command may also be used to define what switches and/or controls are used to activate each flight condition.

The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 0 for each model type. Condition 0 is the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. This condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.

The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

(General flight condition setting example)

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

Use from engine starting to hovering.

• Idle up 1: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E center)

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

• Idle up 2: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-E forward side)

Use in rolls.

• Throttle hold: (Switch setting example: Operate at SW-G forward side)

Use in auto rotation.

The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/ normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority.

Add other conditions, as required.

4. Fuselage linkage

Connect the throttle rudder, ailerons, elevators, pitch, and other rudder linkages in accordance with the kit instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos Connection".

*The channel assignment of the T14MZ is different from that of our existing systems. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)

• When the direction of operation of the linkage is reverse, use the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR function in other than the H-1 mode.

• Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro. (Gyro side function)
• Connect the throttle linkage so that the carburetor becomes full open at full trim throttle cut is possible.
• Basically, adjust the neutral position and rudder angle at the linkage side and fine tune with the Sub-Trim function and End Point function (rudder angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function.

• Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode) Operation of the swash plate near the hovering point can be corrected by swash AFR function correction mixing. Use this when pitch, aileron, and elevator operation causes the swash plate to deviate from the normal direction.

(Call the Swash setup Swash details screen.) Pitch slow side and high side linkage correction is also possible. Adjust so that pitch operation causes the swash plate to move up and down in the horizontal state.

5. Throttle curve setting

This function adjusts the pitch operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition.

(17 points curve)

The pitch curve can be freely selected from linear operation curve to smooth curve, and adjusted to match the curve you want by means of the T14MZ's powerful Curve Edit Function (6 types of curves can be selected). Up to 17 points can be set for linear or curve types. However, when using the 3 points or 5 points specified to create a curve, a simple and smooth curve can be created by selecting the curve type and reducing the number of input points to 3 or 5, and then entering the specified value at the corresponding points that you created.

Call the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch.

• Normal curve adjustment
• Normal curve uses Normal (Linear) type and creates a basic pitch curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the Throttle Curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.
• Idle up curve adjustment
• The high side pitch curve sets the maximum pitch regardless of the engine load. The low side pitch curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).

Note: When the curve type is changed, the data is reset.

• Throttle hold curve adjustment
• The throttle hold curve is used when performing auto rotation dives.

Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).

Be sure that when set to high side 100% , the curve of any condition does not exceed 100% .

Example of pitch curve setting:

1. Call the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch.

*Pitch curve graph display can be switched to pitch angle direct reading display.

A. Pitch curve (Normal)
Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5^ 6^ .
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.
B. Pitch curve (Idle up 1) The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne flight. Set to -7^ + + 12^ as standard.
C. Pitch curve (Idle up 2)
The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1.
The standard is +8^ .
D. Pitch curve (Hold) At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides. [Pitch angle setting example] Throttle hold: -7^ +12^

6. Throttle hold setting

Call the Throttle Hold function from the Model Menu and switch to the throttle hold condition with the condition select switch.

Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group mode. Since this function is not used at other conditions, switch to the single mode before setting.

• Setting to the state which activates the function

The throttle hold function allows setting for throttle cut and switching of the function fixed at the idle position by switch for training. Either one or both functions can be performed.

• Hold position setting
• This function sets the servo operation position at throttle hold. (Throttle cut and idle positions)
• Other settings When you want to link operation with stick

The Auto mode can be set. When you want to adjust the servo speed, adjust [Speed].

7. Pitch to RUD mixing setting

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 below, do not use Pitch to RUD mixing.

Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at the gyro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally.

Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)

(17 points curve)

Curve setting of up to 17 points is possible. However, in the following setting example, a simple curve can be adjusted by using the [Linear] curve type.

Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group mode. In this mode, the same contents are set at in all conditions. When you want to set the selected condition only, switch to the single mode.

Call the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch.

1. A curve setting example is shown below.

A. 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.

*For this curve, use the initial setting [Linear] curve type and adjust the left and right rates in the [Separate] mode.

B. Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1) Use this curve in 540^ stall turn, loop, and rolling stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight ahead when heading into the wind.

*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.

C. 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 0^ .

*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.

• Other settings

The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can be adjusted. An acceleration (ACLR) function and deceleration (DCLR) function, which temporarily increase and decrease the mixing amount, can be set.

8. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and pitch interaction

The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each operation of each condition.

9. Throttle mixing setting

RPM loss caused by swash operation at aileron or elevator operation can be corrected with the Throttle Mix function of the Model Menu. How clockwise and counterclockwise torque is applied when pirouetting can also be corrected.

10. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching

The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is dedicated gyro mixing of the Model Menu, 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, at auto rotation of a tail-driven helicopter, this function may not have any affect at high gyro sensitivity.

11. Throttle cut setting

Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by flipping 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.

*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding. When finished, touch the "Throttle Cut" button to exit.

12. Other special mixings

• Pitch to Needle mixing
• This mixing is used with engines with a construction which allows needle control during flight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set. The needle servo rise characteristics at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be adjusted. (Acceleration function)
• Fuel mixture function
• This mixing is used in needle adjustment of engines which use a fuel mixture control carburetor.
  Governor mixing This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a GV-1 (governor) is used. Up to 3 rates (speeds) can be switched for each condition.

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] of [Before using]. When mounting the receiver and servos to the fuselage, connect the necessary points in accordance with the kit instruction manual.

Receiver and servos connection diagram

• The Servo connection by model type tables are shown on the following pages. Connect the servos to match the fuselage used.

Servo connection by model type

The T14MZ transmitter channels are automatically assigned for optimal combination according to the type selected with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu. The channel assignment (initial setting) for each model type is shown below. Connect the receiver and servos to match the type used.

*The set channels can be checked at the Function screen of the Linkage Menu. The channel assignments can also be changed. For more information, read the description of the Function menu.

This is used for testing servo movement. Touch "Moving Test" (repetition mode) or "Neutral Test" (fixed position mode) depending on which one shows on the screen. To get from one to the other, simply touch the field again, and you will

move from "Moving Test" to "Neutral Test" automatically. Next touch the "Test" on/off button to start testing your servos. The "Neutral test" is good for finding the neutral position of a servo horn.

• Touch the [Servo Monitor] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Servo test operation

1. Select a test mode ([Moving] or [Neutral]). [Repeat]: Each servo repeats operation. [Neutral]: Each servo is locked in the neutral position.
2. When the [Test Off] button is touched, testing begins in the selected mode.

Model Select

The Model Selection function performs model addition, call, deletion, copy, and model name setting.

This function is used to load the settings of the desired model into the T14MZ's memory.

The settings may be selected from either the transmitter's built-in memory or a Data-Pack CFDP32M (Compact Flash card; 32MB). Remember that up to 30 model memories are available in the transmitter; these may be stored in the CFDP32M card.

The name of the model stored in the transmitter and the Data-Pack may be changed. This can be very useful to tell different models settings apart. Each model name

can be as long as 32 characters, and the model name always appears in the display screen.

The Copy function is used to copy one set of model data into a second memory within the transmitter and the Data-Pack. It may be used for getting a head-start on setting up models with almost the same settings (only differences need to be modified, instead of entering the complete model from scratch). Also, this function may be used to make a backup copy of a model setup before any changes are made.

Frequency

Frequency Band (frequency) setting, modulation mode setting, receiver ID code setting.

Frequency setting

The T14MZ transmitter uses a synthesizer system. Its frequency can be changed within the range of the frequency band of the module used.

The frequency of the R5014DPS receiver is set from the transmitter. Use a receiver matched to the frequency band of the transmitter.

Receiver ID code

When the R5014DPS receiver (PCM-G3 receiver) is used, the ID code located on the back of the receiver case must be entered.

*When two receivers are used with a large model, etc., enter the 2nd receiver ID also.

• Touch the [Frequency] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Modulation mode selection

With the T14MZ, 3 modulation modes (PCM-G3/ PCM1024/PPM (FM)) can be selected. Select the modulation mode matched to the type of receiver used.

*After changing the modulation mode, switch the modulation mode by turning the transmitter power off and on.

Frequency switching method

For a description of the frequency switching and ID setting methods, refer to the procedure given in the Basic Operation section.

Modulation mode change

1. Touch the Modulation Mode button to call the selection screen, and then touch the button of the type of modulation used.
2. Touch the [Enter] button to switch the mode.

*When switching from the PCM-G3 mode to another mode, the mode cannot be switched if the number of channels is insufficient due to the wing type used.

1. After switching the modulation mode, turn the transmitter power off and then switch the mode by turning the transmitter power back on.

Receiver ID code input

1. Touch the receiver ID No. on the screen. The receiver ID setup screen is displayed. Input the 8-digit ID number displayed on the back case of the receiver.
2. If the ID number is correct, touch the [Enter] button. To correct the number, use the [BS] button and change the number to the correct ID code.
   *Once the ID code is set, it does not have to be set again as long as the receiver is not changed.

WARNING

When flying after frequency change, emit radio waves only after verifying the frequency.

*Also change the frequency clip. Emitting radio waves without verification is extremely dangerous.

Function

Channel assignment of each function can be changed.

When you select model and wing (swash) types, you will find that the optimized combinations of servo output channels and functions have been already preset. If you would like, on the function-setting screen of the linkage menu, you can freely change combinations of servo output channels, functions (aileron, elevator, etc), and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches). You can also assign the same function to multiple servo output channels such as assigning elevator function to CH2 and CH3.

DG1, DG2 (switch channels)

These two channels can be used as switch channels. You can freely change combinations between servo output channels and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches).

VC1~VC4 (virtual channels)

These four channels can be set as virtual functions that do not have servo output channels. You can freely change combinations between functions (aileron, elevator, etc) and input controllers (sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches).

Note: In PCMG3 mode, combinations of three channels such as CH 1 through CH 3, CH 4 through CH 6, CH 7 through CH 9 and CH 10 through CH 12 work simultaneously. Futaba recommends that you use the standard optimized default combinations of channels and functions in order to minimize servo delay when you use multiple servos to control models such as swash mode helicopters and dual elevator airplanes or flaperon airplanes.

Servo Output Channels

For PCMG3 mode, you can set twelve linear channels and two digital channels. For PCM1024 mode, you can set eight linear channels and one digital channel. For PPM mode, you can set only eight linear channels.

• Touch the [Function] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Function change

• Separate/combination mode: Trim data are set to flight conditions

Separate mode: Trim adjustment for each flight condition

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Sub-Trim

Setting of neutral position of each servo.

The Sub-Trim function is used to set the servo neutral position, and may be used to make fine adjustments to the control surface after linkages and pushrods are hooked up. When you begin to set up a model, be sure that the digital trims are set to their center position.

• Touch the [Sub Trim] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Sub trim adjustment

1. Touch the trim display part of the channel you want to adjust.

Adjustment buttons appear on the Sub Trim menu screen.

1. Use the adjustment buttons to adjust the sub trim.

Initial value: 0
Adjustment range: -240~+240 (steps)
*See above

1. Repeat this step for each channel.

Servo Reverse

Use to reverse the throw direction.

Servo Reverse changes the direction of an individual servo's response to a control stick movement.

For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on Swash AFR before reversing any servos. With CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming. If you use pre-built Airplane/Sailplane functions

that control multiple servos, it may be confusing to tell whether the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each specialized function for further details. Always check servo direction prior to every flight as an additional precaution to confirm proper model memory, hook ups, and radio function.

• Touch the [Servo Reverse] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Servo reversing procedure

After setting up a new model, be sure to define all special menus. Be sure that all servos are plugged into the proper receiver channels. Now, determine whether you need to reverse any channels by moving each stick and observing the corresponding movement in the model's controls.

1. Touch the desired channel's Setting button to choose the proper direction for the servo
2. Touch "Yes" in the next screen.
3. Repeat for each servo needing reversal.

When done, touch "Servo Reverse" to return to the Linkage Menu.

Fail Safe

Sets the servos operating position when transmitter signals can no longer be received or when the receiver battery voltage drops.

The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference.

This function only works with G3 or PCM receivers (FM receivers do not have failsafe capability).

When the receiver battery voltage drops, the servo can be moved to a preset position. (Battery fail safe function) A battery fail safe function reset switch can be set. (Initial setting: Throttle stick maximum slow side)

You may set either of two positions for each channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel.

The T14MZ system also provides you with an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the defined failsafe position. The battery

• Touch the [Fail Safe] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

fails may be released by operating a predefined control on the transmitter (default is throttle), do not continue to fly, land as soon as possible. Remember, if the predefined control suddenly moves to a position you did not command, land at once and check your receiver battery.

Defines servo position when signals are lost and when receiver battery voltage becomes low.

WARNING

For safety, always set the fail safe functions.

• Especially 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 fail safe is reset by throttle stick, it may be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at throttle slow and the model will continue to fly. If you have any doubts, immediately land.

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

Fail safe setting procedure

Decide which channels you want to go to preset positions, and which ones you want to maintain their last commanded position. To select the failsafe mode you wish to set, use the F/S button. This button toggles between the two modes. (Hold, F/S)

F/S mode setting:

1. Touch the F/S button of the channel you want to set, and set that channel to the [F/S] mode.
2. Hold the corresponding stick, control, slider, or other control in the position you want the servo to move to when the fail safe function is activated, and touch the F/S position button. That position is displayed in percentage.

*When you want to return that channel to the Hold mode, touch the [F/S] button again.

Battery fail safe setting procedure

To select the B.F/S mode, touch the [B.F/S] button. Each time the button is touched, it toggles

between [OFF] and [B.F/S].

B.F/S setting:

1. Touch the [B.F/S] button of the desired channel to set it to the B.F/S mode.
2. Hold the corresponding stick, VR, slider, or other control in the position you want the servo to move to when the battery fail safe function is activated, and touch the F/S position button. This position is displayed in percentage.
   *When you want to return that channel to OFF, touch the [B.F/S] button again.

Battery Failsafe Release Function

This function releases the predefined control from it's held position after indicating that your receiver battery is low.

1. Enter the control setting screen by touching the Battery F/S Release button. Now, you may choose that moving the throttle resets the condition, or select another stick or switch deactivates it. To set a desired throttle release position, move the throttle stick to the point at which you wish the B.F/S to be released.

End Point (ATV)

Sets the travel, limit point, and speed of each servo.

The End Point function adjusts the left and right servo throws, generates differential throws, and will correct improper linkage settings.

The Travel rate can be varied from 30% to 140% in each direction on channels 1 to 12. Also, the Limit point where servo throw stops may be varied from 0% to 155% .

NOTE: The indicators on the screen display actual servo throw of the each channel. The center position of the indicator is based on the Sub-Trim settings. Therefore the Sub-Trim adjustment changes the Limit point display of the indicator. The Servo Speed setting is used to set the servo delay for each channel, from channel 1 to channel 12. The system uses the programmed speed (delay) to slow down servo position changes. The Servo Speed setting can be varied from 0 to 20 in each channel.

• Touch the [End Point (ATV)] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

(The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.)

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 Hovering Point function. This will, move the neutral point of the servos to the actual perpendicular position. However, this adjustment changes only the datum 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/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. Since H-1 uses one servo for each function, there is no need for Swash AFR in H-1.

• Touch the [Swash] button in the Linkage Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Neutral point setting procedure

Before using the correction function, set the neutral point.
Adjusting the servo horn so that the neutral point is near the 50% position makes the mixing amount small.

Condition Hold (Helicopter Only)

This function may be used to limit the maximum speed of the engine so that you may adjust flight conditions when the engine is running. The maximum throttle position is settable, and an alarm indicates that the function is operating. The function is especially useful for helicopters, because it will prevent the engine from racing dangerously when adjusting the Idle-Up settings.

While this function is active, the throttle operates on the default condition throttle curve, and mixing is applied as normal, except the throttle is not allowed to move past the set point.

You must deactivate this function when you are through making adjustments. The system will not allow you to deactivate this function in either of the following states:

1. When any of the flight condition switches are on.
2. When the throttle stick is higher than the set point.

To activate Condition hold:

1. Set the throttle stick at a position 3/4 below full throttle.
2. Press the Condition Hold box in the lower left hand corner of the Model Menu or Linkage Menu screens.

AFR (D/R)

The rudder angle and curve of each operation function can be set. A D/R curve which can be switched by switch, etc. can also be added. [All model types]

AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions (CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has defined the maximum throw directions (End Point acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing is applied from one channel to another channel, both channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting the operation rate through the AFR function.

Setting method

• Operation curve adjustment: Six types of curves (linear, EXP1, EXP2, VTR, line and spline) can be selected. A maximum 17 points curve can be used for the line and spline curve types. (Initial setting: 9 points) The number of points can also be increased and decreased and curves from complex curves to simple curves can be used.

• Operation speed adjustment: The operation speed of each function when the function is operated (including at flight condition switching) can be adjusted. The function operates smoothly at a constant speed corresponding to the set speed.

• Touch the [AFR (D/R)] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Dual Rate setting

Up to 6 dual rates can be set for each condition.

^D / R (Dual Rate) is set for each condition, and is not reflected at other conditions.
^D / R (Dual Rate) at the top of the D/R list has priority.

Setting method

• Touch the [D/R] button from the AFR (D/R) screen of the function (ailerons, elevators, etc.) whose dual rate you want to set. The D/R list screen shown below is displayed. Touch the (function) button of the dual rate number to be assigned. That rate is automatically assigned to that function.
• Next, select the switch and its ON/OFF directions.

Prog. Mixes

Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types]

Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control configurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave."

You may choose to have the Masters trim added to the Slave channel response, if you desire ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the LINEAR1/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to

have mixing remaining on all the time.

Offset-type mixing applies a fixed offset or preset to the programmed channel servo operation and may control up to four circuits simultaneously. The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for Master and Slave channel individually.

The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and D/R settings are observed when Link function is set. The knob for fine tuning can be set up for every mixing circuit. (Fine tune function)

Winglet

[Corresponding model type]: Airplane/glider, winglet

This function adjusts the rubber left and right rudder angle of winglet specifications fuselages.

Winglets are used to improve the efficiency of aircraft lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension at the tips of each wing.

Winglets work by increasing the effective aspect ratio wing without adding greatly to the structural stress and hence necessary weight of its structure - an extension of wing span would also permit lowering of induced drag, though it would cause parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength of the wing and hence its weight - there would come a point at which no overall useful saving would be made. A winglet helps to solve this by effectively increasing the aspect ratio without adding to the span of the wing.

• Touch the [Winglet] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

• Group/single mode switching (Gr./Sngl) (For more information, see the description at the back of this manual.)

• For normal curve, usually use [Line] type and create a basic pitch curve centered about hovering. Use this function together with the THR Curve (Normal) function and adjust the curve so that up/down control is best at a constant engine speed.

Idle up curve adjustment

• For the high side pitch curve, set the maximum pitch which does not apply a load to the engine. For the low side pitch curve, create curves matched to loop, roll, 3D, and other purposes and use the idle up curves according to the performance.

Note: When the curve type is changed, the data is reset.

Throttle hold curve adjustment

• The throttle hold curve is used when executing auto rotation dives.

Operation precautions

WARNING

When actually starting the engine and flying, always set the idle up condition switch to [OFF] and start the engine in the idling state.

Setting method

• Group button: When you also want to input the same setting contents at other conditions, perform setting in the group mode (initial setting). In this case, the same contents are input to the other conditions set in the group mode. When you want to set each condition independently, select the single mode. Other conditions can be set independently.
• Normal % input or angle input can be selected at rate adjustment at curve setting. For angle input, if the high side, low side, and center angles are input beforehand, the rate can be set by reading the angle directly (standard).
• The curve graph display mode can be selected. This is convenient when checking curves other than the curve currently being set. [Sngl]: Displays only the curve currently being set

[Fine Tuning]: When pitch trim is used, a curve with pitch trim adjustment added is also displayed. [All Cond.]: Displays the pitch curve of all the conditions. The curve of the condition currently in use is indicated by a bold line. PIT&THR: The throttle hold curve of the condition currently in use is also displayed.

• The Throttle Curve setup screen can be called with one touch, which is convenient when making adjustments alternately with the throttle curve.
• The servo operation speed can be set. When adjusted when the pitch is too sensitive, the pitch operation feeling can be changed.
• When increasing the number of points, use the cursor keys [<] [>] to move the cursor to the point where you want to enter a point (■) and touch the Rate button. The point is created.

Curve setting examples

The screens shown below are curves created by entering the pitch angle at low, center, and high side 3 points or 5 points at each condition. They were created by reducing the number of points to the 3 points of low side, center, and high side. When actually creating a curve, input the angle specified

at the fuselage (or the reference value).

*For a description of the curve setting method, see the description at the back of this manual.

- Pitch Curve (Example)

Pitch Trim (Hovering pitch, high pitch, low pitch)

The hovering pitch, low pitch, and high pitch trim setup screen can be called from the PIT Curve setup screen.

Hovering pitch trim

The Hovering Pitch function trims the pitch near the hovering point. Normally, it is used with the hovering condition. The hovering pitch can be fine tuned for changes in rotor speed accompanying changes in temperature, humidity, and other flight conditions. Adjust the hovering pitch so that rotor speed is constant. This function can be used together with the Hovering Throttle Trim function for more delicate operation.

Setting method

• When using only the hovering (normal) condition, switch the group button to the single mode before setting.
• Set the function to ACT [ON].
• Select the adjustment knob. Selection example: LD or T6
• The trim operation mode (Mode: CTRM/NORM) can be selected.

CTRM mode: Maximum amount of change near center by center trim operation

NORM mode: Normal trim (parallel movement trim) operation. The advantage of using this mode is that the hovering pitch can be adjusted without changing the curve.

• Trim adjustment range (Range) setting
  When this value is made small, trim can only be used near the center.
• The trim rate can be adjusted and the operation direction can be changed.

High Pitch/Low Pitch Trim

High Pitch/Low Pitch Trim is the pitch servo high side and low side trim function.

Setting method

• When setting the adjustment knobs common to all the conditions, set them in the group mode.
• Set the function to ACT (ON).
• Select the adjustment knobs. Selection example: LST (high side), RST (low side)
• The trim rate can be adjusted and the operation direction can be changed.
• Trim acts as high side or low side trim with the center as the standard.

THR Curve

This function adjusts the throttle operation curve for each condition for optimum the engine speed to throttle stick movement.

A throttle curve from linear operation curve to smooth curve can be set. Adjustment to the curve you want to use is possible by using the 14MZ's powerful Curve Edit Function. Up to 17 curve

points can be set, however, when the 5 points and other point data is used, a smooth curve can be easily created by reducing the number of input points of the curve to 5 and entering the specified value at the corresponding points.

• Touch the [THR Curve] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Normal curve adjustment

• Normal curve creates a basic curve centered around hovering. Use it along with the normal pitch curve and adjust so that up/down control at a constant engine speed is easiest.

Idle up curve adjustment

• Set a normal up curve that maintains a constant speed at all times, even when operation which reduces the pitch was performed in flight. Create a curve matched to loop, roll, 3D, or other purposes and the idle up curve according to the performance.

Setting method

• Group button: When you want to simultaneously enter the same settings to other functions, make the settings in the group mode. (Initial setting) In this case, the same setting contents are entered to the other conditions in the group mode. When you want to set each condition independently, make the settings after selecting the single mode.
• The curve graph display mode can be selected. This is convenient when checking curves other than the one being set. [Sngl]: Displays only the curve being set. [Fine Tuning]: When Throttle Hover trim is used, a curve with trim adjustment added is also

Operation precautions

WARNING

When actually starting the engine and flying, always set the idle up condition switch to [OFF] and start the engine in the idling mode.

displayed.

[All Cond.]: Displays the throttle curve of all the conditions. The curve of the condition currently in use is indicated by a bold line.
[PIT&THR]: The pitch curve of the condition currently in use is also displayed.

• The pitch curve setup screen can be called with one touch. This is convenient when alternately adjusting these curves with the pitch curve.
• The servo speed can be set. Adjust the throttle speed when the throttle is too sensitive

Curve setting examples

The curves shown below were created by using the Line mode and inputting the data of the 5 points 0% (low side), 25% , 50% (center), 75% , 100% (high) side at each condition. They were created by reducing the number points of the line to 5. When

actually creating a curve, enter the data specified per the fuselage (or the reference value).

*For a description of the curve creation method, see the description at the back of this manual.

- Throttle Curve (Example)

Throttle Hover trim

The Throttle Hover trim setup screen can be called from the THR Curve setup screen.

The Throttle Hover function trims the throttle near the hovering point. Normally, use it with hovering conditions. Changes in rotor speed accompanying changes in the temperature, humidity, and other flight conditions can be trimmed. Adjust the throttle so that rotor rotation is most stable. More delicate trimming is also possible by using this function along with the Hover Pitch function.

Setting method

• When using the hovering (normal) condition only, switch the Gr. mode to the Sngl mode and make the settings.
• Set the function to ACT ([ON]).
• Select the adjustment knob. Selection example: RD
• The trim operation mode (Mode: CTRM/NORM)

can be selected.

CTRM mode: Maximum rate of change near center by center trim operation

NORM mode: Normal trim (horizontal movement trim) operation. The advantage of using this mode is that hovering throttle can be adjusted without changing the curve.

• Trim adjustment range (Range) setting When the value is made small, trim acts only near the center.
• The trim rate can be adjusted and the operation direction can be set.

Acceleration Mixing

This function is used to adjust the pitch and the throttle rise characteristic at acceleration/ deceleration operation. An acceleration function which temporarily increases the pitch and throttle operations at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be set.

Example of acceleration function use

• When used at pitch, the Acceleration function is effective when you want to quicken the response of the fuselage at 3D flight flip, etc.

When used, high pitch temporarily exceeds maximum pitch, but immediately returns to maximum pitch.

Using Acceleration with Pitch is effective when you want to maximize speed for 3D aerobatics and other aircraft responses. As an example, "High pitch" temporarily overrides "maximum pitch" and immediately returns to the maximum pitch position.

• Touch the [Acceleration] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Setting method

• Acceleration can be set at both setting at acceleration (high) and setting at deceleration (low). (The operation point is displayed on a graph.)
• Acceleration rate setting (Rate)
• The return time after operation (Dumping) can be set.
• The operation point at acceleration and deceleration can be set. When an operation point is exceeded, acceleration is performed.

Note: When using the Acceleration funtion, since the pitch stroke is large, make your settings so there is no binding of your linkage.

Throttle Hold

This function sets the throttle cut position at auto rotation dive. The throttle position can also be set to an idling position separate from the throttle cut position. Setting of these 2 positions can be selected by switch. This allows use for switching during training.

Example of use

• Since Throttle Hold has 2 modes (Cut) and (Idle), using it in the Idling mode during training and in the Cut mode when stopping the engine at meets, etc. is convenient.

Note: When throttle hold is set to ON in the normal condition, throttle hold acts and the throttle servo is deactivated. Always set throttle hold to ON in the hold condition.

• Touch the [Throttle Hold] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Setting method

Operation mode selection

Manual mode: The throttle hold function is operated by switch operation only.

Auto mode: The throttle hold function operation is linked to the throttle stick position.

Auto position setting: When the Auto mode was selected, the throttle position (auto position) can be selected. Move the throttle stick to the position you want to set and touch the (auto position) button.

• Hold position adjustment

Throttle Hold (Cut) sets the throttle cut position. Adjust it so that the carburetor is full open.

Throttle Hold (Idle): Make this adjustment to maintain idling for training. Adjustments can be made based on the throttle curve idle position.

• The throttle servo operating speed can be adjusted. (Speed)
• Throttle cut or training function can be switched by hold function selector switch.

Operation precautions

WARNING

When starting the engine, confirm that the idle up condition and throttle hold condition are [OFF].

Swash mixing

The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each operation of each condition.

Adjustment by independent curve for aileron, elevator, and pitch operations is possible. The operation can be smoothly adjusted by calling up the "Curve setup" screen by touching the button that corresponds to the mixing and direction which needs correction.

Example of use

• As an example, use swash mixing to correct undesirable tendencies in the roll direction

• For a condition which uses AIL to ELE, set this function to ON. When raising the nose at a right roll, when the Rate B side is input and the right aileron is operated, the elevator moves to the down side. Tune by adjusting the Rate. For right roll, adjust to the Rate A side.

• Touch the [Swash Mix] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Setting method

• When using this function, touch the [INH] button and display [ON] or [OFF].
• When you want to set the same contents at other conditions, select the group mode (Gr.). When you want to set the selected condition only, select the single mode (Sngl).
• The correction rate can be set by curve.
• A switch can be set. When [NULL] is set, the swash mixing function is operated by merely selecting the condition.

When setting an [ON]/[OFF] switch, touch the [NULL] button and set the switch and its ON position at the screen.

Throttle mixing

This function corrects slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation at aileron or elevator operation. The method of applying clockwise or counterclockwise torque when pirouetting can also be corrected.

An acceleration function which temporarily increases the throttle side correction rate relative to rapid stick operation can also be set.

When correction is necessary, touch the mixing corresponding to the mixing that needs correction to call the curve setup screen, and then correct the slowing.

Setting example

• All to THR applies a load to the engine and corrects sinking of the engine speed when the throttle stick was operated. Engine racing can be adjusted independently at the right aileron and left aileron by Rates A and B.

• Touch the [Throttle Mix] button in the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Setting method

• When using this function, touch the [INH] button and display [ON] or [OFF].

• Acceleration can be set at both setting at acceleration (High) and setting at deceleration (Low).
• The acceleration rate (Rate) and the return time after operation (Dump.) can be set.
• An operation point (Operation Point) at acceleration and deceleration can be set. When an operation point was exceeded, acceleration operation is performed.

PIT to RUD mixing (Revolution mixing)

Use this mixing when you want to suppress the reaction torque generated by main rotor pitch and speed changes at pitch operation. Adjust so that the nose does not move in the rudder direction.

An acceleration function which temporarily increases the correction rate at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be set. The mixing rate at acceleration/deceleration can be set.

However, when a GY Series or other heading hold gyro is used, since correction is performed by the gyro, this mixing is not used. If this function is used when the gyro operation mode is the AVCS mode, the neutral position will change.

Setting method

• When using this function, touch the [INH] button and display [ON] or [OFF].
• When you want to set the same contents at other conditions, select the group mode (Gr.). When you want to set the selected condition only, select the single mode (Sngl).
• A mixing curve is set.

The mixing curve rate starts from a small value.

For a rotor with a clockwise operation direction (polarity), when pitch was operated at the plus side, set so that mixing is in the clockwise direction. First, trim at hovering and then adjust the neutral position.

1. Adjustment between slow and hovering

Repeatedly hover from take off and land from hovering at a constant rate matched to your own rhythm, and adjust the pitch so the nose does not deflect when the throttle is raised and lowered.

1. Throttle high side (up to climbing from hovering and diving hovering)

*Repeat climbing and diving from hovering at a constant rate matched to your own rhythm and adjust the pitch so that the nose does not deflect when the throttle is raised and lowered.

Set the mixing rate so that the rudder direction at high-speed flight is straight ahead. Adjust for each condition used.

• Acceleration operation can be performed for both setting at acceleration (High) and setting at deceleration (Low).
• Acceleration rate setting (Rate)
• The return time after operation (Dump.) can be set.
• An operation point (Operation Point) at acceleration and deceleration can be set independently. When an operation point was exceeded, acceleration operation is performed.

This is used to switch the RPM of the helicopters head. Up to 3 rates can be set for each condition.

The governor is used by connecting the governor speed setting channel to CH7 (initial setting).
When using an independent governor [ON]/[OFF] switch, connect the AUX([ON]/[OFF]) connector of the governor to CH8 (initial setting) and set the switch to CH2 (Governor2) at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.

*When using the Fuel Mixture function, the mixture servo is controlled from the governor. When transmitting the mixture curve data from the transmitter to the governor, the governor AUX (m.trm) connector must be connected to CH8 (initial setting) and governor side setting performed. See the governor instruction manual.

Note: Always set (Act) and (Trim) to [NULL] for [Governor] and [Governor 2] of the Function menu.

• Touch the [Governor] button of the Model Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

Setting method

• Touch the [INH] button of the rate to be used and display [ON].
• When you want to set the same contents at other functions, select the group mode (Gr.). When you want to set the selected condition only, select the single mode (Sngl).
• Three speeds (rates) can be set for each condition. (Rate 1/Rate 2/Rate 3)

Also, this mixing and the governor side speed setting must be matched beforehand by the following method:

• Set so that when the governor side is placed in the speed setting item state and [2000rpm] of Set GOV of the screen above is touched, the governor speed is set to "2000", when the [1500rpm] button is touched, the governor speed is set to "1500", and when the [1000rpm] button is touched, the governor speed is set to "1000".

• When you want to read the speed directly, press the [%] button and display [rpm].

• The speed can be witched by setting a switch. Also, when [OFF] is set instead of speed setting, the governor can be turned [ON]/[OFF] without setting a separate [ON]/[OFF] switch.
• A speed fine tuning VR can be set.

*VR selection, adjustment width, and adjustment direction can be set.
