• FEATURES The FP-7FGH was specially developed for model helicopters. Please read this manual carefully before using your new set. •RF module systems allows one-touch changing of the frequency band. •Aileron to rudder mixing is ideal for giant scale and quarter scale models and gliders. •Servo reversing switch for each channel allows reversing of the servo direction by simply flipping a switch. •Two kinds of dual rates on the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels.

• OPERATION This section explains the operation of the transmitter controls when the servo reversing switches are in the normal position. When the reversing switches are in the reverse position, operation is the opposite of that described here. CD Aileron stick Controls the ailerons. 2 Elevator stick Controls the elevators. 3 Throttle Stick Controls the throttle. 12 Aileron dual rate switch Aileron dual rate ON-OFF switch.
13 Elevator dual rate switch • Elevator dual rate ON-OFF switch. Simitar to aileron dual rate, (dual rate ON) the elevator deflection can be adjusted with the elevator dual rate trimmer 10 and the servo operating linearity can be switched with the DR <-> VTR switch 11. 14 Trainer switch Pull on/self-off switch. The transmitter connected by the trainer cord (MTC) operates and when it is OFF, your-own transmitter only operates.

Travel adjustment ranges 40 to 100%. 4 DR (dual-rate) <-> VTR (Variable Trace Ratio) switch 5 6 Aileron-rudder MIX trimmer (From aileron to rudder) Adjust the mixing volume and the mixingdirection of rudder.
Transmitter RF module 22 Servo reversing switches These switches reverse the direction of the servos. It is very convenient when connecting the linkage. Change this module to switch to any frequency among 27, 29. 35, 40. 53 & 72 MHz bands. 43 CH7 lever channel 42 CH6 pitch control 41CH5 switch channel Transmitter I 6 37 Aileron 40 Rudder 38 Elevator Remove the module by pulling it forward while pressing this tab inward.

TRAINER Connect the transmitters with the trainer cord (M-TC, purchased separately) as shown in Fig. When the switch is in the ON (pull) position, the student's transmitter operates and when the switch is in the OFF position, the instructor's transmitter operates. The transmitter at which the trainer switch is operated on-off becomes the instructor's.

SPLINED HORN This horn permits shifting of the servo neutral position at the servo horn. Setting and shifting the neutral position a) Angle divisions b) Effect Baseline A Fig. 24 For a six arm horn, turn the arm counterclockwise and set arm 2 to the position of arm 1. The adjustable angle is 60° - (14.4 x 4) =2.4°. Arm 3 shift 4.8° to the right, arm 6 shifts 2.4° to the left,and arm 4 shifts 7.2° to the right and left. Fig. 23 Fig. 22 1) The splined horn has 25 segments.
