Features - FUTABA FP-8SSHP Instruction Manual

•FEATURES

The FP-8SSHP is a digital proportional R/C set with PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) for helicopters.
The system is extremely noise and dead-point resistant digital proportional R/C sets with a micro-
processor in the transmitter and receiver.
The FP-8SSHP was specially developed for FAI RC aerobatics F3C use.
Please read this manual before using your set.
TRANSMITTER FP-T8SSHP
• Newly designed rotatable open gimbal stick
provide maximum operation feel. Stick posi-
tion and spring tension can be adjusted.
•RF module system. The frequency band can
be changed with one touch.
•DSC (Direct Servo Controller). The servos can
be operated without turning on the trans-
mitter.
Wire operation is also possible by using the
special cord supplied with the set. (FSC-1)
•Servo reversing switch on all channels. The
direction of operation of each servo can be
reversed with the flip of a switch.
•Dual rates or non linear VTR (variable trace
ratio) on the aileron, elevator, and rudder
channels. Aileron and elevator dual rate can
be switched simultaneously, or independently.
•Easy-to-adjust two-knob revolution mixing.
Pitch control -> rudder and throttle -> pitch
control mixing.
•Revolution mixing compensation. The revolu-
tion mixing (pitch control -> rudder mixing)
up side can be set in the direction at which
the mixing amount to the rudder becomes
smaller. This increases high-speed straightfor-
ward flight and also minimizes the power loss.
•Acceleration mixing.
•Throttle hold function for auto-rotation.
•Throttle hold delay. The pitch servo operating
time at throttle hold can be freely set with a
built-in delay circuit.
•Four (4) pitch-curve trimmers for best pitch
for hovering and maneuvering.
•New single-chip microprocessor allows one-
touch fail safe setting and introduction of an
automatic transmission system which elimi-
nates the need for fail safe setting at the be-
ginning of each flight and improves safety.
•Hovering throttle permits independent adjust-
ment of the hovering point throttle position.
•Hovering pitch lever
adjustment of the hovering point pitch with-
out regard to the throttle.
permits independent
•Two idle up functions used for static and
dynamic aerobatics.
•Hovering memory reproduces the best mixing
point at any throttle position & even during
performance of flight.
•Throttle ATL (Adjustable Throttle Limiter)
allows simple and reliable throttle linkage
hook-up.
•Rudder button with timer is convenient in
540* stall turns.
•Tachometer/timer with built-in tachometer,
up timer, down timer, integrating timer, and
battery alarm.
•New ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume) on all
channels allows independent pushbutton ad-
justment of servo left, right, up, and down
throw.
•Second ATV. Besides new pushbutton ATV
on aileron and elevator, conventional trimmer
ATV is also installed.
•Monitor lamp glows when two idle up systems
or throttle hold is set and flashes when they
are working.
•Fail safe switch (safety switch).
switches that turn the throttle hold, idle up,
and other functions on and off. If the internal
switch is set to off beforehand, when that
function is not used, it will not operate even
if the switch on the transmitter is set to on.
•Built-in power error back-up circuit. When the
internal Nicd battery approaches the fully
discharged state, an LED blinks to indicate
that the memory circuit (memory, ATV, FS,
etc.) is not working.
•Two servo test functions. A slow sweep to
check neutral characteristic, trackability and
to cycle servo to test servo operation.
•Highest quality aluminum case with sophisti-
cated design. The transmitter fits easily in
your hand.
•Optional CCPM (Cyclic Corrective Pitch Mix-
ing).
• Trainer system offers an easy training of
flight for beginners.
