FUTABA 7CAP Instruction Manual page 80

OFFSET: (HELI) separate trim settings available to each idle-up setting, or assigned to separate switches from the idle-up
switch. When offset is ON, movement of the trim levers adjusts the OFFSET, not the normal condition's trims . . . . . .70
Offset mix: mix that independently moves the slave servo a set percentage of its total throw, not in relation to any
master. See Programmable mix.
PA2: Pilot Assist. Optional onboard device that uses optical sensors to correct model' s orientation to upright.
PARAMETER submenu: sets specific parameters. Includes reset, type, modulation, CH5, and CH7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .28
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. An electronically encoded method of transmitting data to a receiver to help minimize the effects
of interference. (Transmission is on an FM wavelength, and uses FM crystals). See Modulation.
Peak Charger: charger that automatically stops charging when the battery is fully charged (commonly called "peaked").
See Battery care and charging.
Piezo gyro: gyro that uses a piezo crystal to sense angular changes. See Gyros.
Pitch-to-rudder mix: see REVO.
PITCH CURVE: (HELI) curve that sets the response of the collective pitch servo(s) to movement of the throttle/collective
S . Independently adjustable in the normal flight mode, one for each of the 2 idle-ups, and one for throttle hold.
TICK
Adjusted to provide ideal blade response for various types of maneuvers being performed. For simplicity, the normal
conditionís curve may be set in the BASIC menu. All 3 curves are also adjustable in the ADVANCE menu. . . . . . . . . . .68
PPM: Pulse Position Modulation. Also known as FM. Type of signal transmission. See Modulation.
Programmable mix: used to cause specific servo responses to specific inputs separate from the basic control setups.
Includes extensive definitions of types and examples. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .53
Range check or test: to test the transmitterís control over the model at a specific distance as a precaution in checking its
proper operation prior to flight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16
Rate: amount of control given. Ex: see Programmable mix.
RESET: to delete all data in the existing model only. User CANNOT erase all data in the radio. Only service center can
do so. Part of PARAMETER submenu. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .28
Retractable landing gear: landing gear that is brought up into the model during flight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .56
REVERSE: servo reversing. Used to reverse the direction of a servo to ease installation and set up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .31
Rudder-to-aileron mix: (ACRO ) used to counteract undesirable roll (roll coupling) that happens with rudder input,
especially in knife-edge. Gives proper aileron input to counteract roll coupling when rudder is applied. Not a
preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix. This is the default programming for one linear and one curve mix in
ACRO.
Rudder-to-elevator mix: used to counteract undesirable pitch (pitch coupling) with rudder input, especially in knife edge flight.
Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix.
Rudder-to-throttle mix: (HELI) adds throttle to counter the added load from increasing pitch of the tail blades,
maintaining a constant head-speed with rudder. (This is a minor effect and is not critical in most helicopters.) Not a
preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix.
Rx: receiver.
