*If you push the button "NO", then the transmitter will not emit radio waves.
*If you push the button "Yes", then the transmitter will emit radio waves. 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.

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.
<Basic Operation>
35 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 remove the battery and reinsert it again. In this case, the power restarts in Cold

39 Trainer Trainer system starting and setting T18MZ trainer system makes it possible for the instruction to chose which channels and operation modes are to be used at the instructor's transmitter. Because the switch 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.
NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner;
1. In the T18MZ (including FX-40, T12Z and T12FG) transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different. It is necessary to match the channel order in the Linkage Menu when connecting it with other than a T18MZ. 2. Be sure that all channels work correctly in

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.
Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
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.
Restricts operation in the specied direction the instant the power is turned on. By making this setting, only the rst operation when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specied position.
The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specied. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system.
This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to operation signal changes. Normally use at Smooth setting. Especially, select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary.
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor uctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque. However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceeded even if a speed over the maximum speed of the servo at each operating voltage is set.
The dead band angle at stopping can be specied.
[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.
The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.
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.
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.
<System Menu>
53 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.
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. 54 <System Menu>

Receiver linking The receiver can be controlled without being affected by other transmitters by linking it with the transmitter used. When using a receiver other than that of the purchased set, linking is necessary. Dual receiver function (only FASSTest 18CH mode) Two sets of receivers, and a function which can be linked. Two sets of receivers are recognized individually. For example, in R7008SB, CH output setting function is used, by setting one set as "1-
8CH", and setting one more set as "9-16CH", two sets of receivers can be carried in one set of the model, and 1-16CH can be used now. If a Dual receiver function is used, the following function can set up individually.
Battery fail-safe voltage setup
Telemetry function ON/OFF
Sensor setup Telemetry function (FASSTest mode only) To use the telemetry function, set Telemetry to ON. D/L Interval (FASSTest mode only) When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed.

*Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected and the engine was started.
* When you use two sets of receivers, please be sure to use it, after performing a setup a "primary" and "secondary" in the "dual" mode.
*Since two sets of receivers cannot be individually recognized when the setup a "primary" and "secondary" is not carried out, it becomes impossible to receive telemetry data correctly, and makes it.
* The link of two sets of receivers should perform one link operation at a time. If two power supplies of a receiver are switched on simultaneously, it is correctly unreceivable by the transmitter side.
* If a dual receiver function is used, in order to receive sensor information by turns from two sets of receivers, renewal of telemetry data becomes slow rather than a single receiver's case.
* It cannot link with three sets of receivers.

77 WARNING Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected and the engine was started.
Inadvertent rotation of the motor or acceleration of the engine is extremely dangerous. If link operation is completed, please check that a receiver is returned on and it can once be operated with the linked transmitter. Check operation sufficiently before flying after linking.
If the same receiver is sending in the vicinity, there is the danger that the transmitter may be linked with that receiver. CAUTIONS Always turn on the transmitter power after linking is complete. When pairing with the transmitter, be sure that a previously linked transmitter is not transmitting

Function
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).

Servo Reverse changes the direction of an individual servos 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

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 models controls.

Fail Safe
The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference. 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 T18MZ 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

Neutral Point Mixing Rate At your linkages, if the servo horn deviates from the perpendicular position at neutral, the linkage compensation functions may not compensate effectively. This neutral point setting reads the linkage compensation neutral position. However, this adjustment only changes the datum point of the compensation function on the swash details screen and does not affect the neutral position of other functions.
*Before using the compensation function, set the neutral point. Swash AFR The swash AFR function adjusts (increases/
decreases/reverse) the rate (travel) of the aileron, elevator, and pitch functions.
(Normally, the initial value is used.) This mixing rate is used for correction so that the swash plate moves in the correct direction for aileron, elevator, and pitch operation. Compensation mixing is shown below.

Linkage Compensation This compensation mixing is used to correct for mutual interference when the ailerons or elevators were operated when the throttle stick was in the slow or high position. Speed Compensation This speed compensation function compensates the mutual interference when the travel of each servo is different at swash plate operation. For HR-3, it compensates the speed by dropping the operating speed of the aileron and pitch servos at elevator operation.

89 Timer
The Timer function may be set for any desired time,
etc. Two independent timers are provided for your use. The timers are stored independently with each model, meaning that when you switch between model setups, the timer associated with the new model is brought up automatically. The timers may be set to start and stop from the motion of any switch or stick. You may set the ON and OFF directions freely. Each timer has a capacity of up to 59 minutes 59 seconds.
Each timer may be set for count-down or count up operation with a target time. Also Split Time may be counted. If a target time is set and the timer reaches the set time, a buzzer sound for each count is generated. Countdown timers sound one short beep during the last twenty seconds and two short beeps during the last ten seconds before reaching the target, then a long tone at the target time, and continue counting with displaying a minus (-) sign. Count-up timers also beep the last twenty and ten seconds, beep the target time, and keep counting upwards until shut down.

[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 sensor and other voluminous data sensor units use multiple slots. When 2 or more of the same kind of sensor are used, the sensors themselves must allocate unused slots and memorized the allocated slot.
Procedure for changing the sensor of each slot No. 1. Select [Sensor] from the Linkage Menu. 2. Select the sensor of the slot No. to be changed. 3. Select the type of displayed sensor. 4. When the [Yes] key is pressed, the type of sensor is changed.
*In the case of the sensor which uses more slots, it may be unable to assign. 96 <Linkage Menu>
Procedure for changing the slot No. of each sensor unit 1. Select [Sensor] on page 2 of the Linkage Menu. 2. Call page 2 by pressing [1/2] and press [Change Slot]. 3. Connect the receiver battery and the sensor unit to the S.I/F connector behind the rear cover of the transmitter using a 3-way hub or 2-way cord. 4. Press the [Read] key.

MODEL MENU (COMMON FUNCTIONS) This section describes the AFR, program mixing, and other functions common to all model types. Before setting the model data, use the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu to select the model type matched to the fuselage. When another model type is selected thereafter, the AFR, program mixing, and other setting data are reset. The functions in the Model Menu can be set for each flight condition. When you want to use the system by switching the settings for each condition by switch, stick position, etc., use the Condition Select function to add flight conditions. (Up to 8 conditions can be used) Note: The T18MZ is designed so that the airplane and glider (including EP glider) model types are compatible with fuselages of similar type wings. This section outlines the relationship between the functions common to airplanes and gliders, except some dedicated functions, and model type. The setting items depend on the number of servos and other differences according to the wing type used, but reread them. The setup screens in the instruction manual are typical examples.

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. RUDDER 1 Winglet
