When turning on the 14MZ, you must let the system cycle through before turning off.
First you should know the 14MZ receiver (R5014DPS) has
a different layout than the standard layout Futaba has
used in the past. After you have all your servos installed in
your helicopter, you'll want to use one of these charts to
plug the proper servos into the R5014DPS receiver.
