  • Page 10 4. Since all the servos are manufactured to the same standards, any servo can be used for any purpose. 5. The FP-S6L (reversible servo, red label) in the set can be conveniently used for throttle control with high wing and middle wing airframes. 6.

  • Page 11: Operating Instructions

    Use this system with a veteran as your teacher. A special trainer cord is available as an option. • The FUTABA Trainer System can be used without regard to frequency (27MHz, 40MHz, 72MHz) or number of channels of the instructor's transmitter and students transmitter. For instance, the 27MHz FP-T6FN can be used with the 72 MHz FP-T4FN.
  • Page 12 4. When the trainer button of Tx1 is depressed, radio waves will be directly radiated from Tx1, but the control operation is shifted to Tx2. Consequently, the student can exercise control only during the period the instructor is depressing the trainer button. When the instructor releases the button, he can exer- cise direct control over all operations.
  • Page 13 • The nickel-cadmium battery will supply a uniform voltage for a certain period of time, but pay careful attention to the voltage after being used 7~8 times. Connect the battery charger supplied with the FP-3FN, FP-4FN, FP-5FN, and FP-6FN as illustrated in Figure 5. AC-115V (220V, 240...
  • Page 14 Receiver WHITE NiCd Battery Charging plug Charger (RX) The 3P red female connector of the switch harness is used to charge the NR-4C (receiver and servo use NiCd battery) without removing it from the model. To charge the NR-4C (receiver and servo NiCd battery) without removing it from the model, set the switch to the OFF position and connect the 3P red male connector from the charger to the 3P red female connector of the switch harness.
  • Page 15 1. The cord with the power plug at both ends is the Tx charging use cord. To charge the transmitter, connect this cord to Tx of the charger and "A" of the transmitter. 2. The cord with the power plug at one end and the 3P connector at the other end is the RX charging use cord. When charging the NR-4C receiver use nickel-cadmium battery, connect the power plug end of this cord to RX of the charger and the 3P connector end to the NR-4C.
  • Page 16 3. The use of a servo tray is extremely convenient when installing the servos. The method of installation is illustrated in the figure. (Insert each connector fully.) Don't forget to confirm that the motion of the servo horns and rods matches the direction of operation of the transmitter sticks. Use the reversible servo (L servo) as a shoulder wing throttle servo or for rudder and nose gear operation.
