15.1 TRAINER (TEACHER / PUPIL FUNCTION)

Trainer (teacher-pupil, buddy-box) operations make it possi-

ble for newcomers to learn the art of model flying with the

elp of an experienced pilot (Teacher).

The FX-40 transmitter is equipped as standar

d with a socket

to which a T

rainer cable can be connected. The socket is loca-

ted on the left-hand side of the transmitter under a hinged flap.

Page 13 of these instructions lists the other transmitters from

the robbe / Futaba range with which the FX-40 transmitter can

be combined to act both as Teacher and as Pupil transmitter.

The lists also contain information on the Trainer leads and

modules which have to be used for particular combinations,

together with safety notes relating to Trainer mode operations.

THE CONFIGURA

TION OF THE TRAINER FUNCTION IS

NOW STORED FOR EACH MODEL!

TRAINER MODE: AS TEACHER TRANSMITTER

•

Press the “INH” button field; the display changes to “OFF”.

•

In the Switch line assign the T

rainer switch, i.e. the switch

to be used for transferring control in Trainer mode.

• Select the Teacher transmitter.

• Select the channel count:

The channel count must be chosen to match the facilities

of the Pupil transmitter you intend to use.

• 12 Ch if the Pupil transmitter is a T-14MZ / FX-40.

• 8 Ch for any other Futaba or robbe / Futaba transmitter

type.

IMPORTANT:

If the FX-40 transmitter is used as the Teacher unit, then it is

absolutely essential to set the modulation on the Pupil trans-

mitter to PPM.

It is very important to note that the channel sequence of the

FX-40 is dif

ferent to that used in previous Futaba and robbe /

Futaba transmitters. If a transmitter other than an FX-40 is

used as the Pupil transmitter, then the channel sequence must

be changed to the PCM 1024 system; this is carried out in the

Base / Function menu.

SELECTING THE FUNCTIONS

Functions 1 … 12 (or 1 … 8) can be selected individually for

transfer to the Pupil.

arious modes ar

e available for transfer of control.

• OFF MODE

Function switched off; channel not transferred to the Pupil

transmitter.

• FUNC MODE

In FUNC mode the corresponding channel is transferr

ed to the

Pupil transmitter.

In this case the Pupil transmitter uses the mixer settings of

the Teacher transmitter, and therefore does not require its

own mixer functions to control the model.

The Teacher and Pupil have control of the model according to

the position of the Trainer switch.

• NORM MODE

In this mode the corresponding channel is also transferred to

the Pupil transmitter

In this case the Pupil transmitter uses its own mixer settings

and ther

efor

e requires appropriate mixer functions to control

the model.

When control is passed to the Teacher transmitter, its own

mixer functions ar

e used to control the model.

As in FUNC mode, the Teacher and Pupil have control of the

model according to the position of the Trainer switch.

• MIX MODE

If this mode is selected, and the Trainer switch is set to “ON”,

then the T

eacher and Pupil both have access to the model’s

control system, i.e. they control the model in parallel.

In this case the Pupil transmitter uses the mixer settings of

the T

eacher transmitter, and therefore does not require its

own mixer functions to control the model.

The various modes can be selected separately for each func-

tion; a combination of modes is possible for the various chan-

nels.

The T

rainer Set-up menu has a second page wher

e you can

assign a switch to each control function individually, enabling

the Teacher to transfer functions to the Pupil, or switch them

off, while the model is flying.

For the “FUNC” and “MIX” modes it is also possible to set a

Rate. This determines the maximum extent of control which

the Pupil has over the model.

EXAMPLE:

“Mix” mode, rate

50%. T

eacher and

Pupil both have

parallel contr

ol over

the model, but the

Teacher has 100%

control travel, the

Pupil only 50%.

TRAINER MODE: AS PUPIL TRANSMITTER

• Press the “Teacher / Pupil” button field; the display chan-

ges to “Pupil”.

•

Press the “INH” button field; the display changes to “ON”.

• The channel count must be chosen to match the Pupil

transmitter you intend to use.

• 12 Ch if the Teacher transmitter is a T-14MZ / FX-40.

• 8 Ch for any other Futaba or robbe / Futaba transmitter type.

For all other transmitter types: select PPM.
