Model Basic Setting Procedure; Airplane/Glider - FUTABA T18SZ Instruction Manual

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE

Airplane basic setting procedure
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns 1 model to the T18SZ
transmitter. The Model Select function is used to add
models and to select models which are already set.
The data for up to 30 models can be saved to the
transmitter. Data can also be saved to the optional SD
card.
The currently selected model name is displayed at the
top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any
settings, always confirm the model name.
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the aircraft with the
Model type select function of the Linkage menu. For an
airplane, select the model type from among the 2 types:
airplane and glider. After the wing type is selected the
tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type
matched to the aircraft.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane
and glider.
3. Fuselage linkage
Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc.
in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For
a description of the connection method, see the "Servos
connection by model type".
Note: The channel assignment of the T18SZ 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"
of the Linkage menu.)
● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust
the direction with the Reverse function of the
Linkage menu.
● Adjust the neutral position and control surface
angle with the linkage, and fine tune them
with the Sub trim and End point functions
(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.
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 position so
that the carburetor becomes fully closed. For safety, the
throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3
or less (slow side) position.
