• BEFORE USING • Charging the transmitter and receiver Nicd battery FP-7UAPor FP-7UAF [However when the battery was not used for some time, charge and discharge it 2 — 3 times. Otherwise, the battery will not be charged even after the specified charging time ! Charger LED A fully-charged transmitter battery can be used for about 10 flights of 10 minutes each. The airborne NR4J Nicd battery pack can be used for about 6 flights when 6 servos are used.
• BEFORE USING • RECEIVER AND SERVO CONNECTIONS CH7 (AUX) CH6 Flap servo Option (sold separately) CH5 Landing gear servo Pay careful attention to the polarity of the connector. Antenna wire CH4 Rudder servo PCM receiver FP-R129DP, FP-R137GPor FM receiver FP-R-128DF CH3 Throttle servo Four servos are supplied as standard.
• BEFORE USING • The crystal can be changed from the outside of the receiver case. Always use the Futaba transmitter/receiver matched crystal set to change the band. • The receiver that is used with the 7UAP and 7UAF is a dual conversion receiver. This receivers requires a special crystal so please order the correct crystal set. • Spare servo horns are supplied. Use them as needed. • Use extension cords matched to the model. • Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber.

• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING To normal display mod* P r e s s t h e [MODE SELECT] Function Display Data setting ATV CH selection ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL VOLUME Select the CH to which ATV is to be applied with the keys. This function adjusts the servo left and right throws and is used in linkage correction. • The rate can be set for each channel. • The left and right (up, down) rate can be set. • The rate setting range is 30% to 110%.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Press the [MODE SELECT] Function Display To normal display mode Data setting EXP CH selection EXPONENTIAL Select the CH to which EXP is to be applied with the keys. This function modifies the operating curve so that operation is easy when the movement of the servos becomes sluggish or sensitive near the neutral position. D/R switch direction selection Switch to the direction to which the is to be set.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Press the [MODE SELECT] F/S To normal display mode CH selection FAIL SAFE Select the CH which is to be set to F/S or HOLD with the keys. (CH NO. F/S and HOLD functions • F/S and HOLD can be set for all channels. • The F/S and HOLD functions can be selected for each channel. flashes) Function selection Select the function with the keys.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Press the [MODE SELECT] PMX1 To normal display mode Mixing activate/inhibit mode setting PROGRAMMABLE MIXING 1 Set the mode with the keys. + : Activate —: Inhibit This mixing is useful in correcting bad tendencies of the aircraft and in making operation more pleasant. • Mixing of any two channels is possible. • The left and right (up and down) mixing rate can be set independently.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Press the [MODE SELECT] PMX2 To normal display mode Mixing activate/inhibit mode setting PROGRAMMABLE MIXING 2 Set the mode with the keys. + : Activate -: Inhibit This mixing is useful in correcting bad tendencies of the aircraft and in making operation more pleasant. • Mixing of any two channels is possible. • The left and right (up and down) mixing rate can be set independently. Master channel selection Set the flashing display to the mark with the keys.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Pressthe [MODE SELECT] 2-6 To normal display mode Mixing activate/inhibit mode setting ELEVATOR ->> FLAP MIXING Set the mode with the keys. + : Activate -: Inhibit This is used to apply mixing from elevator to flap. Mixing is usually used so that the flaps are lowered when the elevator is raised. It makes circular maneuvers with stunt aircraft smoother. Mixing servo direction of operation setting Set the flashing display to "+" (or "—") with the keys.
• FUNCTION AND DATA SETTING Press the [MODE SELECT] 6-2 To normal display mode Activate/inhibit mode setting FLAP -> ELEVATOR MIXING Set the mode with the keys. + : Activate -: Inhibit Use this mixing when an air brake is necessary when landing or diving, etc. during flight.
