INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Futaba® 12FG series digital proportional R/C system. In order for you to make the best use of your system and to fly safely, please read this manual carefully. If you have any difficulties while using your system, please consult the manual, our online Frequently Asked Questions (on the web pages referenced below), your hobby dealer, or the Futaba Service Center.
Application, Export, and Modification 1. This product is suitable for model airplane, surface or 50 MHz (license required) use, if on the correct frequency. It is not intended for use in any application other than the control of models for hobby and recreational purposes. The product is subject to regulations of the FCC and is restricted under United States law to such purposes. 2.
Definitions of Symbols Pay special attention to safety where indicated by the following symbols. DANGER – Procedures which may lead to dangerous conditions and cause death/serious injury if not carried out properly. WARNING – Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition or cause death or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly, or procedures where the probability of superficial injury or physical damage is high.
Ni-MH/Ni-Cd 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 Ni-MH batteries in the 12FG transmitter and Ni-Cd batteries included with this set. It is important to understand the operating characteristics of Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. Always read the specifications printed on the label of your Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery and charger prior to use.
AT THE FLYING FIELD Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s 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.
BEFORE USE Features PCMG3 (PCM Generation 3) PCMG3 has a 40% faster response than current PCM1024. The resolution is 2048, which is double the current PCM1024. It can operate up to 12 linear channels and 2 switch channels. The multi-level modulation technology has been implemented for the R/C industry to achieve the highest performance available today.

ACCELERATION 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.
THR HOLD This function sets the throttle cut position for auto rotation. The throttle position can also be set to an idling position. Setting of these 2 positions can be selected by switch. This allows use for switching during training.
SWASH MIX 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 pressing the EDIT button with moving the cursor to the mixing item that corresponds to the mixing and direction which needs correction.
THROTTLE MIX This function corrects slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during 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.
PIT to NEEDLE mixing This mixing is used when the engine is equipped with needle control or other fuel-air mixture adjustment. A needle curve can be set. An acceleration function which temporarily increases needle operation at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be set. The rise characteristic of the needle servo at acceleration and deceleration operation can be adjusted.
PIT to RUD mixing (Revolution mixing) Use this mix when you want to suppress the reaction torque generated by main rotor pitch and speed changes during 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.
GYRO mixing This function used to adjust gyro sensitivity. The sensitivity and operation mode (Normal mode/GY mode) can be set for each condition. *Sensitivity setting is assigned to CH3.
GOVERNOR mixing When using a Futaba GV-1 governor, this function 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 CH8 (Governor2) at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.
