TRANSMITTER POWER ON/OFF (Fail safe setting) When turning on the power of the transmitter. The status of the transmitter is displayed by the LED at the upper part of the front of a transmitter. Throttle Stick Low ON the Power Switch (F/S position) The throttle position when turning on a receiver power supply will be a fail-safe position.
Stick control : Airplane Example *Example Stick Mode 2 A general model example. (It depends on each plane types.) Roll axis Control Pitch axis Control Right roll Nose Up The right aileron is up. Elevator stick The left aileron Aileron stick is down.
TRIM There are four trim levers (“trims”) on the front of CH3 Throttle Trim CH2 Elevator Trim the transmitter. These trims are for adjusting the neutral position of the aileron, elevator and rudder servos and for setting the idle r.p.m. of the engine when the throttle stick is all the way down.
TRAINER FUNCTION (Student only) Trainer cord available separately The T6L Sport-2.4GHz trainer function lets you practice flying as a student by connecting the T6L Sport-2.4GHz to the instructor’s Futaba transmitter. To utilize the trainer function, the appropriate trainer cord (available separately) and a second Futaba transmitter (usually provided by your flight instructor or R/C club) will be required.
LINK PROCEDURE Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter.
We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T6L Sport in order to perform an operational ground range check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational range of the T6L Sport.
SERVO REVERSING The servo reverse switches are used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input from the transmitter (each stick). After using the reversing function, check all the controls on the model to be certain they are operating in the correct direction and that you did not inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended.
ELEVON MIXING Intended for tailless, “flying wing” models such as delta wings and flying wings, elevon mixing mixes channel 1 (aileron) to channel 2 (elevator) allowing the elevons to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as ailerons). This function requires that each elevon be Elevator operated by a separate servo.
FLAPERON MIXING The ability to use separate servos to function in the same movement direction to control the flap deflection and to work in opposing directions as ailerons is known as flaperons. Again, this function allows the ailerons to be used both as ailerons and as flaps. Flap control is assigned to Channel 6, the proportional Dial on the front of the transmitter.
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER SWITCH When mounting a power switch to an airframe, make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn the switch ON/OFF without binding. Avoid mounting the switch where it can be covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is recommended to mount the power switch on the side of the fuselage that is opposite the muffler.
T6L from 'Mode 2' into 'Mode 1'. The ratchet mechanism must be changed to the other side. This can be difficult to perform so if in doubt please contact your local Futaba MODE 1 MODE 2 Service center.
