INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Futaba® 12Z 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.
Lithium-ION Battery Safety and Handling instructions IMPORTANT! The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries included in the 1 Z 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.
AT THE FLYING FIELD 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.
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 Channels. The multi-level modulation technology has been implemented for the R/C industry to achieve the highest performance available today. WFSS (Wireless Frequency Setting System) The construction of both transmitter (T12Z) and receiver (R5014) are a frequency synthesizer system.

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

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 12Z's powerful Curve Edit Function.
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.

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 Example of use This function sets the throttle cut position for auto rotation. 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.
SWASH MIX Example of use 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.

THROTTLE MIX 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.
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.

The curve left and right rates ([RATE A], [RATE B]) can be adjusted individually.
Line (LINE) and curve (SPLINE) adjustment (Line) (Spline) Lines or splines of up to 17 points can be used. (Initial value: 9 points) The set points can be freely increased, decreased, and offset. [Rate adjustment of each point] 1. Use the cursor lever to move the cursor (reverse-display) to the [POINT] item and turn the data input dial to the left or right and select the point whose rate you want to set. (The position of the square box on the curve is the selected point.) 2.

Operation modes The operation modes when stick, trim lever, or knob was selected are described below. *When the enter button is pushed after the cursor was moved to the [MODE] and [TYPE] items and the mode was selected by data input dial, the operation mode is changed. Linear hysteresis mode This mode sets ON/OFF at the left or right (up or down) with the set point as the reference. Hysteresis (dead band) can be set between ON and OFF. The ON and OFF positions can be reversed.
