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.
CAUTION – Procedures where the possibility of serious injury to the user is small, but there is a danger of injury,
or physical damage, if not carried out properly.
= Prohibited = Mandatory
Warning: Always keep electrical components away from small children.
FLYING SAFETY
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:
Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 14MZ protects the model memories with non-volatile
EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regular
checkups. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying
season for a complete checkup and service.
Use the Fail-Safe safety feature to set the throttle to low-idle In case of signal loss or RX battery failure.
Engine power will be automatically reduced to help limit personal or property damage. Refer to the Failsafe
Setting Procedure listed in the index.
Receiver Ni-Cd Battery
Charge the batteries! (See Charging the batteries listed in the index for details.) Always recharge the receiver
batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a
crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration
of usage.
CAUTION: The initial charge on new NiCd receiver batteries should be done for 15 hours using the slow-charger
that came with the radio system. This will “condition” the batteries so that the next charge may be done using the
fast-charger of your choice. If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not reach their full cap-
acity and you may be flying with batteries that are only partially charged.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your
nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the national
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one
of them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or
toll-free phone number below.

Lithium-ION Battery Safety and Handling instructions
It is important to understand the operating characteristics of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Always read the specifications
printed on the label of your Li-Ion battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can
quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to disassemble Li-Ion packs or cells.
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
Always provide adequate ventilation around Li-Ion batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during
storage.
Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent
damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a
cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full sized automobile!
Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm, and have a lithium-approved “ABC type” fire extinguisher
available at all times.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the
battery).
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60
o
C)
should be placed in a fireproof location.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot
disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has previously overheated for
potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.
Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery
for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the
battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with
the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do not discharge Li-Ion batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.
Always store Li-Ion cells/packs in a secure location away from children.
Compact Flash (CF) Card Handling Instructions
Follow these precautions when handling the CF card included in your 14MZ transmitter.
IMPORTANT! The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries included in the 14MZ 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. Use only the Futaba lithium ion
transmitter charger included with this set for, or other chargers approved by Futaba to charge the Li-Ion batteries in
the 14MZ transmitter.
Never remove the CF card or turn off power while
entering data.
Never store the CF card where it may be subject to
strong static electricity or magnetic fields.
Do not expose the CF card to direct sunlight, excessive
humidity or corrosive environments.
Do not expose the CF card to dirt, moisture, water or
fluids of any kind.
Always hold the CF card by the edges during installa-
tion and removal.
Be certain to insert the CF card in the correct direction.
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. If you must fly away from a club field, be sure there are no other
modelers flying within a three-to-five-mile range, or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose con-
trol.
Before flying, be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use, and secure any frequency control
device (pin, tag, etc.) for that frequency before turning on your transmitter. It is never possible to fly two or more mod-
els on the same frequency at the same time. Even though there are different types of modulation (AM, FM, PCM), only
one model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low-battery warning sys-
tems, which are intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and
receiver batteries prior to each flight.
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:
1. Set the throttle stick to the idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
3. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
4. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
5. Turn on your receiver power.
6. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For
PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then,
turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)
7. Start your engine.
9. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your
motor/engine.
10. Turn off receiver power.
11. Turn off transmitter power.
If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in
the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.
While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won’t tip
it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, dam-
age to your transmitter may occur.
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its’ full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your
flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model,
since the signal is weakest in that direction.
Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause
erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter
with a waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.
Never turn the transmitter off during flight! Switching the transmitter off and on during flight will very likely cause
a crash because of the time required for the transmitter to "reboot" and become fully functional.
8. Complete a full range check.

Trainer system starting and setting
The Trainer function makes it possible for the
instructor to choose which functions and channels
are to be used for instruction, making it possible to
match the training ability to the student's skill level.
Two transmitters must be connected by an optional
Trainer Cord, and the Instructorsʼ 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 or
FUNC 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 T14MZ 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 T14MZ.
2. When the T14MZ is used as the Teacher,
set the modulation mode of the student’
s transmitter to PPM. If being used as the
student, set the T14MZ to the modulation
mode speci ed by the Instructors’ transmitter.

can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved
to the accessory Data-Pack.)
The currently called model name is displayed at the
top of the screen. Before flying and before changing
any settings, always con rm the model name.
When a new model was added, the Model type
select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/
Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. After
changing or con rming the model, turn the power off
and on according to the instructions on the screen.
Please be aware that the transmitter will stop
transmitting when you change the model.
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the fuselage with
the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu.
For an airplane, select the model type from among the
3 types: airplane, glider, and motor glider. When the
Wing type select screen is displayed and the wing type
is selected when selecting the model type, the Tail type
select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched
to the fuselage.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane,
glider, and motor glider.
Airplane/glider basic setting procedure
3. Fuselage linkage
Link the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc.
in accordance with the model's instruction manual.
For a description of the connection method, see the
Receiver and Servos Connection.
Note: The channel assignment of the T14MZ is
different from that of our existing systems. Note
that even for the same "airplane model", when the
wing type and tail type are different, the channel
assignment may be different. (The channel assigned
to each function can be checked at the Function
menu of the Linkage Menu.)
When the direction of the linkage is reversed,
adjust the direction with the Reverse function of
the Linkage Menu.
Connect the throttle linkage so carburetor is
open at full trim and full open then the throttle
can be cut.
Adjust the neutral position and rudder angle
with the linkage, and fine tune them with
the Sub Trim and End Point functions (rudder
angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a
limit position can also be set with the End Point
function. The End Point function can adjust the
amount of up/down and left/right movement,
limit, and servo speed of each channel.

<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
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
safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle
stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position.
5. Idle down setting
The idling speed can be lowered with one touch by
a switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the
Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function
and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed.
For safety, the idle down function acts only when the
throttle stick is in the 1/3 or les (slow side) position.
*While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle
Down function does not work.
6. AFR (D/R)
AFR function is used to adjust the throw and
operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions
(CH1 to CH12, and V1 to V4) for each ight condition.
This is normally used after End Point (ATV) has
defined the maximum throw directions (End Point
acts on ALL flight condition settings). When mixing
is applied from one channel to another channel, both
channels can be adjusted at the same time by adjusting
the operation rate through the AFR function.
7. Airbrake
This function is used when an air brake is necessary
when taking off or diving, etc.
The preset elevators and flaps (camber flap, brake
ap) offset amount can be activated by a switch.
The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and ap
servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the
aileron, elevator, and ap servos can be adjusted. (IN
side/OUT side) A delay can be set for each condition,
and a Cut switch which will turn OFF the delay can
be chosen. Trim amounts can be ne-tuned by setting
a VR You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link
Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick
switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch.
8. Addition of ight conditions
The transmitter can install up to eight ight conditions
per model. You can assign all switches including sticks,
switches, trim levers and trim switches as ight-condition
selection switches. You can also add delayed mixing
to these functions in order to avoid sudden changes.
Moreover, you can set priority order for ight conditions
when you set more than one condition. In addition, you
can copy conditions and/or change names of conditions.
This command may also be used to de ne what switches
and/or controls are used to activate each ight condition.
The Condition Select function automatically allocates the
Condition 1 for each model type. Condition 1 is the default
condition, also referred to as Normal, and is the only one active
when a new model type is defined. This condition is always on,
and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each
channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the
servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
*When a new condition is added, "Condition1" data is
automatically copied.
*Select the condition switch and set the new condition data in the
switch ON state. However, if the group mode (Gr.) was selected in
advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the
single mode (Sngl) and adjust the condition you want to change.
9. When tailless wing model selected
Tailless wing elevator operation uses elevatorcamber
mixing. This function cannot be performed at initial setting.

position so that the carburetor becomes full open. For
1. Model addition and call
Default setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ. To
add new models or to call a model already set, use the
Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.
This is convenient when calling a model after
registering the model names in advance. (The data of
up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data
can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)
The currently called model is displayed at the top
of the screen. Before ying and before changing any
settings, always con rm the model name.
Please be aware that the transmitter will stop
transmitting when you change the model.
When a new model is added, the Model Type Select
screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID
setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check
that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type
of the model used.
2. Model type and swash type selection
When a separate model type is already selected,
select helicopter with the Model Type function of the
Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched
to the fuselage.
Helicopter basic setting procedure
3. Flight condition addition
The transmitter can install up to eight flight
conditions per model. You can assign all switches
including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches
as flight-condition selection switches. You can also
add delayed mixing to these functions in order to
avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority
order for ight conditions when you set more than one
condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or
change names of conditions. This command may also
be used to define what switches and/or controls are
used to activate each ight condition.
The Condition Select function automatically allocates
the Condition 0 for each model type. Condition 0 is
the default condition, also referred to as Normal, and is
the only one active when a new model type is de ned.
This condition is always on, and remains on until other
conditions are activated by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each
channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the
servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
(General ight condition setting example)
Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate
when switch OFF)
Use from engine starting to hovering.
Idle up 1: (Switch setting example: Operate
at SW-E center)
Use in 540o stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and
other maneuvers.
Idle up 2: (Switch setting example: Operate
at SW-E forward side)
Use in rolls.
Throttle hold: (Switch setting example:
Operate at SW-G forward side)
Use in auto rotation.
The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/
normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority.
Add other conditions, as required.
41
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)
Operation of the swash plate near the hovering
point can be corrected by swash AFR function
correction mixing. Use this when pitch, aileron,
and elevator operation causes the swash plate to
deviate from the normal direction.
(Call the Swash setupSwash details screen.)
Pitch slow side and high side linkage correction is
also possible. Adjust so that pitch operation causes
the swash plate to move up and down in the
horizontal state.
5. Throttle curve setting
This function adjusts the pitch operation curve
in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for
each condition.
(17 points curve)
The pitch curve can be freely selected from linear
operation curve to smooth curve, and adjusted to
match the curve you want by means of the T14MZ’s
powerful Curve Edit Function (6 types of curves can
be selected). Up to 17 points can be set for linear
or curve types. However, when using the 3 points
or 5 points speci ed to create a curve, a simple and
smooth curve can be created by selecting the curve
type and reducing the number of input points to 3
or 5, and then entering the specified value at the
corresponding points that you created.
<Setting example>
Call the throttle curve of each condition with the
condition select switch.
Normal curve adjustment
Normal curve uses Normal (Linear) type and creates
a basic pitch curve centered near hovering. This
curve is adjusted together with the Throttle Curve
(Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and
up/down control is easiest.
Idle up curve adjustment
The high side pitch curve sets the maximum pitch
regardless of the engine load. The low side pitch
curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics
(loop, roll, 3D, etc.).
Note: When the curve type is changed, the data is reset.
4. Fuselage linkage
Connect the throttle rudder, ailerons, elevators,
pitch, and other rudder linkages in accordance with
the kit instruction manual. For a description of
the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos
Connection".
*The channel assignment of the T14MZ is
different from that of our existing systems. (The
channel assigned to each function can be checked
at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)
When the direction of operation of the
linkage is reverse, use the Reverse function
of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR
function in other than the H-1 mode.
Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro.
(Gyro side function)
Connect the throttle linkage so that the
carburetor becomes full open at full trim
throttle cut is possible.
Basically, adjust the neutral position and
rudder angle at the linkage side and fine
tune with the Sub-Trim function and End
Point function (rudder angle adjustment). To
protect the linkage, a limit position can also
be set with the End Point function.
42
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
Con rm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of
the stick is 0% (initial setting).
Be sure that when set to high side 100%, the curve
of any condition does not exceed 100%.
Example of pitch curve setting:
1. Call the pitch curve of each condition with
the condition select switch.
*Pitch curve graph display can be switched to pitch angle
direct reading display.
A. Pitch curve (Normal)
Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5
º
~6
º
.
Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at
the 50% point as the standard.
*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve.
Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function
and hovering pitch function together.
B. Pitch curve (Idle up 1)
The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve
matched to airborne ight.
Set to -7
º
~+12
º
as standard.
C. Pitch curve (Idle up 2)
The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1.
The standard is +8
º
.
D. Pitch curve (Hold)
At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both
the high and low sides.
[Pitch angle setting example]
Throttle hold: -7
º
~+12
º
6. Throttle hold setting
Call the Throttle Hold function from the Model
Menu and switch to the throttle hold condition with
the condition select switch.
Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the
group mode. Since this function is not used at other
conditions, switch to the single mode before setting.
Setting to the state which activates the
function
The throttle hold function allows setting for throttle
cut and switching of the function xed at the idle
position by switch for training. Either one or both
functions can be performed.
Hold position setting
This function sets the servo operation position at
throttle hold. (Throttle cut and idle positions)
Other settings
When you want to link operation with stick
manipulation, the Auto mode can be set.
When you want to adjust the servo speed, adjust
[Speed].
7. Pitch to RUD mixing setting
Use this function when you want to suppress
the torque generated by the changes in the pitch
and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation.
Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the
rudder direction. However, when using a heading
hold gyro like those shown below, do not use Pitch
to RUD mixing.
Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401, or other
heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should
not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at
the gyro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS
mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation
symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally.
Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the
Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition.
(At initial setting, this function is in the "INH"
state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)
(17 points curve)
Curve setting of up to 17 points is possible.
However, in the following setting example, a
simple curve can be adjusted by using the [Linear]
curve type.
Note: At initial setting, the setting mode is the group
mode. In this mode, the same contents are set at in
all conditions. When you want to set the selected
condition only, switch to the single mode.
<Setting example>
Call the mixing curve of each condition with the
condition select switch.
Throttle hold curve adjustment
The throttle hold curve is used when performing
auto rotation dives.
43
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
1. A curve setting example is shown below.
A. Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal)
Use the hovering system and set this curve to
match take off and landing and vertical climb at
a constant speed.
*For this curve, use the initial setting [Linear] curve type and
adjust the left and right rates in the [Separate] mode.
B. Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1)
Use this curve in 540
º
stall turn, loop, and rolling
stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing
straight ahead when heading into the wind.
*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.
C. Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold)
This function is set so that the fuselage is facing
straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The
pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0
º
.
*For this curve, [Linear] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] button.
Other settings
The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can
be adjusted. An acceleration (ACLR) function and
deceleration (DCLR) function, which temporarily
increase and decrease the mixing amount, can be
set.
8. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and
pitch interaction
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.
9. Throttle mixing setting
RPM loss caused by swash operation at aileron
or elevator operation can be corrected with the
Throttle Mix function of the Model Menu. How
clockwise and counterclockwise torque is applied
when pirouetting can also be corrected.
10. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching
The gyro sensitivity and mode switching
function is dedicated gyro mixing of the Model
Menu, and can be set for each condition.
Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity
maximum
Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro
sensitivity minimum
However, at auto rotation of a tail-driven
helicopter, this function may not have any
affect at high gyro sensitivity.
11. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the
engine, by ipping a switch with the throttle stick
at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle
to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s
location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults
to NULL.
*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position
until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle
linkage is not binding. When finished, touch the
“Throttle Cut” button to exit.
12. Other special mixings
Pitch to Needle mixing
This mixing is used with engines with a construction
which allows needle control during ight (fuel-air
mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set.
The needle servo rise characteristics at throttle
stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be
adjusted. (Acceleration function)
Fuel mixture function
This mixing is used in needle adjustment of engines
which use a fuel mixture control carburetor.
Governor mixing
This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a
GV-1 (governor) is used. Up to 3 rates (speeds) can
be switched for each condition.

Model Select
The Model Selection function performs model addition, call, deletion, copy,
and model name setting.
This function is used to load the settings of the
desired model into the T14MZ’s memory.
The settings may be selected from either the
transmitters built-in memory or a Data-Pack
CFDP32M (Compact Flash card; 32MB). Remember
that up to 30 model memories are available in the
transmitter; these may be stored in the CFDP32M card.
The name of the model stored in the transmitter and
the Data-Pack may be changed. This can be very useful
to tell different models settings apart. Each model name
can be as long as 32 characters, and the model name
always appears in the display screen.
The Copy function is used to copy one set of model
data into a second memory within the transmitter and
the Data-Pack. It may be used for getting a head-start
on setting up models with almost the same settings (only
differences need to be modi ed, instead of entering the
complete model from scratch). Also, this function may
be used to make a backup copy of a model setup before
any changes are made.

Touch the [Prog. Mixes] button in the Model Menu to
call the setup screen shown below.
Prog. Mixes
Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for
each condition. [All model types]
Programmable mixing may be used to correct
undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be
used for unusual control con gurations. Mixing means
that the motion of a command channel, called the
"master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel,
called "slave."
You may choose to have the Masters trim added
to the Slave channel response, if you desire ("Trim"
setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the
undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by
setting the LINEAR1/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/
LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be
programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change
the rate smoothly when switching. You may define
Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to
have mixing remaining on all the time.
Offset-type mixing applies a fixed offset or preset
to the programmed channel servo operation and
may control up to four circuits simultaneously. The
Programmable mixing includes a powerful link
function, which allows Programmable mixing to be
linked with the special mixing functions, or with other
programmable mixing functions. The link function can
be set up for Master and Slave channel individually.
The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode)
may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and
D/R settings are observed when Link function is set.
The knob for ne tuning can be set up for every mixing
circuit. (Fine tune function)

adjustment range (Range) value is made small, trim
is active only near the center.
NORM mode: Normal trim (parallel movement
trim) operation. When the adjustment range (Range)
value is made small, trim is active only near the
center. Needle high trim works as high trim based
on the center. This operation is similar to reverse
ATL trim.
1. An acceleration function can be set. This
function is used when there are symptoms
of the mixture being either too rich or
too lean, which would be generated by
sudden operation of the throttle stick.
An acceleration (ACLR) function and
deceleration (DCLR) function, which
temporarily increase and decrease the fuel
supply at acceleration and deceleration,
can be set.
2. The return time after operation (Dump) can
be set for both setting at acceleration (High)
and setting at deceleration (Low).
3. A needle throttle cut function can be set.

Throttle mixing
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.
Setting example
AIL to THR applies a load to the engine and
corrects sinking of the engine speed when
the throttle stick was operated. Engine
racing can be adjusted independently at
the right aileron and left aileron by Rates A
and B.

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.
Return to Model Menu
Touch the [PIT to Needle] button in the Model
Menu to call the setup screen shown below.
Setting method
When using this function, touch the [INH] button
and display [ON] or [OFF].
When you want to set the same contents at other
conditions, select the group mode (Gr.). When
you want to set the selected condition only, select
the single mode (Sngl).
A needle curve can be set.
A switch can be set.
When [NULL] is set, the function is operated by
merely selecting the condition.
When setting and [ON]/[OFF] switch, touch the
[NULL] button and set the switch and its ON
direction at the <Switch> screen.
< Acceleration function setting>
Acceleration can be set at both setting
at acceleration (High) and setting at
deceleration (Low).
The acceleration rate (Rate) and the return
time after operation (Dump.) can be set.
An operation point (Operation Point) at
acceleration and deceleration can be set.
When an operation point was exceeded,
acceleration operation is performed.
Normally, use [Line] type.

PIT to RUD mixing (Revolution mixing)
Use this mixing when you want to suppress the
reaction torque generated by main rotor pitch and
speed changes at 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.
Return to Model Menu
Touch the [PIT to RUD] button in the Model
Menu to call the setup screen shown below.
Setting method
When using this function, touch the [INH] button
and display [ON] or [OFF].
When you want to set the same contents at other
conditions, select the group mode (Gr.). When
you want to set the selected condition only, select
the single mode (Sngl).
A mixing curve is set.
<Normal condition mixing curve>
The mixing curve rate starts from a small
value.
For a rotor with a clockwise operation
direction (polarity), when pitch was
operated at the plus side, set so that mixing
is in the clockwise direction. First, trim at
hovering and then adjust the neutral
position.
1. Adjustment between slow and hovering
Repeatedly hover from take off and land
from hovering at a constant rate matched
to your own rhythm, and adjust the pitch so
the nose does not de ect when the throttle
is raised and lowered.
2. Throttle high side (up to climbing from
hovering and diving hovering)
*Repeat climbing and diving from hovering at a constant
rate matched to your own rhythm and adjust the pitch so
that the nose does not deflect when the throttle is raised
and lowered.
Normally, use [Line] type.
However, when a GY Series or other heading
hold gyro is used, since correction is performed by
the gyro, this mixing is not used. If this function is
used when the gyro operation mode is the AVCS
mode, the neutral position will change.
<Idle up condition mixing curve>
Set the mixing rate so that the rudder direction at
high-speed ight is straight ahead. Adjust for each
condition used.
<Acceleration function setting>
Acceleration operation can be performed
for both setting at acceleration (High) and
setting at deceleration (Low).
Acceleration rate setting (Rate)
The return time after operation (Dump.) can
be set.
An operation point (Operation Point) at
acceleration and deceleration can be set
independently. When an operation point
was exceeded, acceleration operation is
performed.
