Setting Delays - FUTABA 8UHPS Instruction Manual

Setting Delays

The Delay function is automatically activated when either
Offset, Revolution mixing, or Throttle hold are activated.

In the helicopter mode, your T8UH system contains two separate programmable mixers
with unique mixing capabilities. You may use mixing to correct any tendencies of the
helicopter during aerobatics that you want to eliminate, making operation more pleasant.
Besides mixing between arbitrary channels, the mixers may be linked with the Advance
menus in the T8UH, or the mixing curve can be offset relative to the master's neutral. You
may select which switch activates your mixers from the eight switches A-G or throttle, and
you may choose whether the trim from the master also affects the slave channel.. The Link
function is used to 'link' programmable mixers with other mixing menus.
The default channels for Mixers 1 & 2 are set to frequently-used mixing combinations as
follows: PMIX-1 = AIL→ELE, PMIX-2 = ELE→THR. The programming method is given
for Mixer #1; the second mixer may be programmed in an identical fashion.
1. Activate the Programmable Mixer
Press the (+) key to activate the PMIX-1 function ("ON" or
"OFF" will be displayed, depending on the ON/OFF switch's
position). Use the (-) key to INHibit the mixer.)
Master channel Slave channel

applies mixing) receives mixing)
Mixing rate
Mixing rate (right
(left or up)
or down)
Range: -100 to +100%
(Initial value: 0%)
1. Aileron delay
Input the desired Aileron delay with
the (+)/(-) keys.
2. Elevator delay
Input the desired Elevator delay
with the (+)/(-) keys.
3. Rudder delay
Input the desired Rudder delay with
the (+)/(-) keys.
• If you're unhappy with what you've
set, you may reset to zero by
pressing the (+) and (-) keys
simultaneously.
2. Master channel setting
Select the master channel with the
(+)/(-) keys (the master is the one
that sends the mixing).
If you select "OFS" for the master
channel, the numerical mixing rate
setting affects the slave side only,
providing a fixed offset.
3. Slave channel setting
Select the slave channel (the one
that receives the mixing) with the
(+)/(-) keys.
4. Mixing rate setting
Move the master control in the direction you want to adjust, and
one of the mixing rate displays will flash. Set the mixing amount
with the (+)/(-) keys. Note that you can set the mixing rate
individually for each side of the mix (left/right or up/down).
NOTE: If the amount of mixing is set to 0%, no mixing will occur.
You may reset the rate to zero by pressing the (+)/(-) keys
simultaneously.

Default Mixing Setup
When you begin programming a
model, the mixers are set up as
follows (of course, you may change
these default settings):
PMIX-1: AIL>ELE
