We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a complete checkup and service. 6 <Introduction>
NiMH/NiCd Battery Charge the batteries! (See Charging the NiCd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session. A low battery will soon die potentially, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your T14SGs built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radios 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 flight. 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. Academy of Model Aeronautics 5161 East Memorial Drive Muncie, IN 47302 Tele. (800) 435-9262 Fax (765) 289-4248 or via the Internet at http:\\www.modelaircraft.org 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.

7 NiMH/NiCd 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 NiMH batteries in the T14SG transmitter included with this set. It is important to understand the operating characteristics of NiMH/NiCd batteries.Always read the specifications printed on the label of your NiMH/NiCd 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 NiMH/NiCd packs or cells. Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time. Always provide adequate ventilation around NiMH/NiCd batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage. Do not leave a NiMH/NiCd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged. Do not attempt to charge NiMH/NiCd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for NiMH/NiCd batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result. Always charge NiMH/NiCd batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge NiMH/NiCd 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. Do not charge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents greater than the 1C rating of the battery (C equals the rated capacity of the battery). Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60C) should be placed in a fireproof location. NiMH/NiCd 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 NiMH/NiCd 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 batterys internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skinwash 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 NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery. Always store NiMH/NiCd 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 fields. Do not expose the SD card to direct sunlight, excessive humidity or corrosive environments. 8 <Introduction>
Do not expose the SD card to dirt, moisture, water or fluids 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. At the flying field 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. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected. 4. Turn on your receiver power. 5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, dont attempt to fly 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 confirm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on. 6. Start your engine. 7. Complete a full range check. 8. After flying, 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, 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. 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 flight. 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 flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation. Dont 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 plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

25 Receiver's Antenna Installation The R7008SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly problem-free.
*Must be kept as straight as possible. Antenna Coaxial cable R7008SB Receiver 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. 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 flying 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 Antenna
*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
*The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: 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. 26 <Before Use>

(Airplane/Glider)
(Helicopter) Servo lead wires To prevent the servo lead cable from being broken by vibration during flight, provide a little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable points. Periodically check the cable during daily maintenance. Margin in the lead wire. Fasten about 5-10cm from the servo outlet so that the lead wire is neat. 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 the switch 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. Safety precautions when you install receiver and servos Warning Connecting connectors Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point. 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. 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 or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash. Servo 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, the servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain. 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 the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.

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 R7008SB receivers, this procedure is necessary;
otherwise the receiver will not work. Link procedure 1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close 6. When changing battery fail-safe voltage from the initial value 3.8V, voltage is changed here. to each other within half (0.5m) meter.
* Only in FASSTest Mode. Less than 0.5 m 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Select [SYSTEM] at the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button. 7.[LINK] is chosen by scrolling and the RTN button is pushed. The transmitter will emit a chime as it starts the linking process.
:You can do this through the LINKAGE Menu and scroll to System and press RTN. 4. When you use two receivers on one model, you must change from [SINGLE] to [DUAL].
*Only two receivers can be used. In
"DUAL", two setting items come out. Input, respectively. 8. When the transmitter starts to chime, power on the receiver. The receiver should link to the transmitter within about 1 second. In "Link" Mode ID of a Primary receiver displays. ID of a Secondary receiver displays. In DUAL, a primary receiver is link previously. Next, a secondary receiver is link. 5. "F" will be chosen if it is used in France. others
"G" general. Receiver ON 9. If linking fails, an error message is displayed. Bring the transmitter closer to the receiver and repeat the procedure above from Step 2. 10. ACT will be chosen if telemetry is used. It is INH when not using it.
<Basic Operation>
37 11. When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed. If a DL interval is increased, the response of the sensor data display becomes slower, but stick response will improve. Initial value: 1.0s Adjustment range: 0.1s~2.0s
* If there are many FASSTest 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.
*Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected or the engine is running.
* When you use two receivers, please be sure to setup a
"primary" and "secondary" in the "dual" mode.
*Since two sets of receivers cannot be individually recognized without using a "primary" and "secondary"
setup, it is impossible to receive telemetry data correctly.
* You must link one receiver at a time. If both power supplies to the receivers are switched on simultaneously, data is received incorrectly by the transmitter.
* If a dual receiver function is used, in order to receive sensor information correctly by both sets, telemetry data will be slower compared to a single receiver setup.
* You cannot link three receivers.
* Link is required when a system type is changed.
* Linking is required whenever a new model is made.
* Link is required when a system type is changed. Warning After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury. 38 <Basic Operation>
Range Testing Your R/C System It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The T14SG 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 flying 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 fly until the source of the difficulty has been determined. Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged. Range checking on low power. About 100 feet Range check mode Warning Do not fly in the range check mode.
*Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the model is too far from the transmitter, control will be lost and the model will crash.

43 MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE Airplane/glider basic setting procedure 1. Model addition and selection 3. Fuselage linkage Initially, the T14SG 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 T14SG is capable of storing data for up to 30 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 flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name. When a new model is added, the Model type select screen and System mode setup screen automatically appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting temporarily when you change the model. When a new model is added, you will need to re-
link the receiver. Connect 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 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. 44 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
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. 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. 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. 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 (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 defined. If you want to add flight conditions, please refer to a description of the CONDITION function. 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 flight condition (glider). This is normally used after the modeler has defined the maximum throw directions in the End Point settings.
(Airplane)
*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 configurations. For example, it will not appear if a single aileron wing type has been selected. The pre-set elevator and flap offset amount can be activated by a switch.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
45 Helicopter basic setting procedure This section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T14SG. Adjust the actual values, etc. to match the fuselage used. 1. Model addition and selection Initially, the T14SG 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. 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. 3. Flight condition addition The transmitter offers up to five flight conditions per model. This is convenient when selecting a model after entering the model's names in advance. The T14SG is capable of storing up to 30 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 system mode setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the swash type and receiver type of the model used. When a new model is added, you will need to re-
link the receiver. The Condition Select function automatically
(Initial setting) allocates five conditions for helicopters. 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 flight 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. The NORMAL condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches. 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 46 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
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.
(General flight 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 stall turn, loop, 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. 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. 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 fine 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. 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.
<Throttle curve setting example>
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 Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).
<Example of pitch curve setting>
Activate the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch. 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. 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. Pitch curve (Idle up 2) The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8. 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
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
47 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 defined 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 Futaba GY Gyro, 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. 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 48 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
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.)
<Setting example>
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 stall turn, loop, 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 0. 9. Throttle hold setting
*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD function. 10. 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 switchs 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. 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. 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. 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 governor is used.

TRAINER Trainer system starting and setting T14SG trainer system makes it possible for the instructor to chose which channels and operation modes that can be used in the students transmitter. The function and rate of each channel can be set, the training method can also be matched to the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructors 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/
FUNC/NORM 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. Setting data are stored to model data. Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/
NORM mode. Activated student channels can be selected by switches. NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner;
1. With the T14SG 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 T14SG is used as the instructors transmitter, set the modulation mode of the students transmitter to PPM. If being used as the student, T14SG can be connected to the instructor's transmitter which the PPM mode as the student's modulation mode is required. T14SG always sends PPM mode signal from the trainer jack. 3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in both transmitters before flying.

Push [INIT.], if you would like to initialize a setup of a servo. ([INIT.] is chosen RTN is pushed RTN is pushed for 1 second) S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter
*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function. ID Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed. Channel Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use. Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. Servo type When Retractable is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select Retractable. Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range. Soft Start Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position. Stop Mode The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system. Smoother This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D. Neutral Offset The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side. Speed Control Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque. However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased. Dead band The dead band angle at stopping can be specified.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]
Small Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change. Large Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened. Travel Adjust The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. Boost The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]
Small Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth. Large Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough.
<Functions of System Menu>
65 Boost ON/OFF OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) Damper The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]
Small When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur. Large When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened.
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened. Stretcher The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted. This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]
Small Servo holding force becomes weaker. Large Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases. Buzzer When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo.
(Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not unusual.) The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure alarm.
(Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.A buzzer may sound by incorrect recognition.) Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo. Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time. 66 <Functions of System Menu>

RETURN MODEL SELECT The Model Selection function performs model addition, selection, deletion, copy, and model name setting. This function is used to load the settings of the desired model into the T14SGs memory. The settings may be selected from either the transmitters internal memory or an SD card. Remember that up to 30 model memories are available in the transmitter. The name of the model stored in the transmitter and the SD card may be changed. This can be very useful to tell different models settings apart. Each model name can be as long as 10 characters, and the model name always appears in the display screen. The Copy function is used to copy parameters, settings, etc. from one model data into a second memory. 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.

79 RETURN 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. 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. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only) The T14SG 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. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only) The battery failsafe 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. Remember to 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 the battery fail safe is reset by the 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. Select [FAIL SAFE] in the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button.

85 RETURN 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. 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. Subtrim Subtrim for aileron, elevator and pitch can be set during swash setting. Pitch adjustment function High, neutral and low pitch fixed outputs can be used while adjusting the pitch.

[What is a slot?]
Servos are classified by CH, but sensors are classified in units called slot. There are slots from No. 1 to No. 31. Altitude sensors, GPS sensors and other data sensor units may use multiple slots. Using a sensor which uses two or more slots, the required number of slots is automatically assigned by setting up a start slot. When 2 or more of the same kind of sensor are used, the sensors themselves must allocate unused slots and memorize that slot.

(Rudder 1/2) The travel during rudder stick operation can be individually adjusted. This function adjusts the left and right rudder angles of airplanes with winglets. Winglets are used to improve the efficiency of aircraft by lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension located at the tip 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 gains would be made. A winglet helps to solve this by effectively increasing the aspect ratio without adding to the span of the wing.
