Introduction To The 10Cg - FUTABA 10CAG Instruction Manual

Note that in the text of this manual, beginning at this point, any time we are using a feature's specialized name or
abbreviation as seen on the screen of the 10CG, that name, feature, or abbreviation will be exactly as seen on the radio's
screen, including capitalization and shown in a DIFFERENT TYPE STYLE
on the radio itself, such as moving SWITCH A, KNOB VR(B), or the THROTTLE STICK, those words will be displayed
as they are here.
TRANSMITTER:
• Large graphic liquid-crystal display panel with two buttons, a cursor lever and an easy set up turn-and-press dial for
quick, easy setup.
• All transmitters include all three aircraft types with specialized programming for each, including:
• Airplane ( ACRO )
• V-TAIL
• ELEVON
• AIRBRAKE
• Helicopter (8 swashplate types, including CCPM, see page 93)( HELI )
• 3 Idle Ups
• Revo. Mixing
• Delay
• V-TAIL
• ELEVON
• OFFSET (5 conditions)
• BASIC menu for quick, easy set up of less complex models.
• ADVANCE menu for more complex, unique setups.
• Four electronic TRIM LEVERS for rapid yet precise trim adjustment - no remembering to "store trims" between models
and no more "bumped trims" during transport.
• IDLE- DOWN ( ACRO ), THR-CUT ( ACRO HELI ) (engine shut off), and MOTOR CUT ( GLID
control for taxi and landings.
• 15 complete model memories with 33 more per optional CAMPac(128K).
• New stick design with improved feel, adjustable length and tension.
• Triple rates available by setting dual rates to 3-position switches.
• Eight SWITCHES, three DIALS and two SLIDERS; completely assignable in most applications.
• Trainer system includes the "functional" ( FUNC ) setting, which allows the student to use the 10CG's mixing, helicopter,
and other programming functions even with a 4-channel buddy box. (Optional trainer cord required.)
• 10CG transmitter transmits in both 2.4G-7CH and 2.4G-10CH by selecting modulation and then cycling the transmitter
power. Requires receiver of proper modulation.
• Permanent memory storage via EEPROM with no backup battery to service or have fail.
• 10CAG transmitter features airplane friendly switch layout, with the trainer switch at the left hand (Mode 2), and a
notched throttle to minimize throttle changes with rudder input. Defaults to ACRO model type.
• 10CHG transmitter features helicopter-friendly switch layout, with idle-up and throttle hold switches at the left hand, and
a smooth, ratchet-less (unsprung) throttle for perfect hovering. Defaults to HELI ( H-1 swashplate type) model type.
• Change transmitter mode from mode 2 to modes 1, 3, or 4. (See P. 17)
