User manual FUTABA FP-3PG

[. . . ] · Vibration-resistant pin connectors. · Fiberglass epoxy PC board with thru-the-hole plating is vibration and shock resistant. SERVO FP-S138 SMALL, RUGGED, HIGH NEUTRAL LOW PROFILE SERVO · Height is 0. 2 in (5. 2mm) lower than existing servos of its type. · New indirect drive potentiometer improves vibration and shock resistance and neutral accuracy. · Futaba low-power custom 1C provides extremely high torque, narrow dead band, and superior tracking. [. . . ] Aileron dual rate trimmer This trimmer sets the aileron travel when the aileron dual rate switch is set to on. When the dual rate switch is set to ON, the servo throw can be set to an arbitrary angle smaller than when the dual rate switch is OFF (normal) as shown in the figure. Use the throw matched to the aircraft and the maneuvers to be performed. Dual rate switch OFF 100% The servo is connected to 6 channels. 2 Aileron trimmer Elevator trimmer Throttle trimmer Rudder trimmer Fig. 3 When the dual rate switch is ON, the servo throw can be adjusted within this range with the dual rate trimmer. Elevator dual rate switch This switch turns the elevator dual rate function on and off. The lower position is dual rate OFF and the upper position is dual rate ON. Elevator dual rate trimmer This trimmer sets the elevator deflection angle when the elevator dual rate switch is in the ON position. It has the same functions as aileron dual rate. Level meter This level meter indicates the transmitter battery voltage. Neck strap bracket Bracket for the neck strap (optional). Extend it to its full length when using the transmitter. Then extend the transmitter and receiver antennas fully. · Set the transmitter power switch to ON. Then set the receiver power switch to ON. The servos stop near the neutral position. Operate the transmitter sticks and check that each servo follows the movement of the stick. ·Connect the pushrod to each servo horn, then check if the direction of travel of each servo matches the direction of operation of its transmitter stick. To reverse the direction of servo travel, switch the servo reversing switch. · Operate each servo over its full stroke, and check if the pushrod binds or is too loose. Applying unreasonable force to the servo horn will adversely affect the servo and quickly drain the battery. Always make the travel of each control mechanism somewhat larger than the full travel (including trim) of the servo horn. Adjust the servo horns so that they move smoothly even when the trim lever and stick are operated simultaneously in the same direction. [. . . ] · Use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the servo and switch leads. · After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then check the range by making the transmitter antenna as short as possible, extending the receiver antenna fully, and operating the set from a distance of 20m to 30m. The movement of each servo should follow the movement of each stick of the transmitter. · After mounting and checking are complete, take your model to the shop where you purchased the set, or to an experienced radio control modeler, and ask them to teach you how to handle your radio control set in the proper manner and to inspect your set-up carefully.
