[. . . ] Futaba DIGITAL PROPORTIONAL RADIO CONTROL INSTRUCTION MANUAL D60506 FP-6VA FM 6 CHANNEL AIRPLANE R/C SET FOREWORD Thank you for selecting the Futaba SKYSPORT-6A. The SKYSPORT-6A is an easy-to-use digital proportional R/C set for all classes of R/C aircraft hobbyists, from beginners to advanced pilots. It has an outstanding array of functions needed by all classes of pilots. To enjoy its functions to the fullest and to ensure safe flying, please read this manual carefully before using your set. [. . . ] a)When the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right wing aileron is raised, the left wing aileron is lowered, and the plane will bank to the right. When the stick is moved to the left, the reverse maneuvers are performed. b)When the elevator stick is pulled back. the elevator is raised and the airplane climbs (Up operation). When the elevator stick is pushed forward, the elevator is lowered and the airplane dives (Down operation). c)When the throttle stick is pulled back, the engine throttle lever arm moves to the slow (low speed) side. When the throttle stick is pushed forward, the engine throttle lever arm moves to the high (high speed) side. d)When the rudder stick is pushed to the right, the rudder is deflected to the right and the nose of the airplane turns to the right. When the rudder stick is pushed to the left, the rudder is deflected to the left and the nose of the airplane turns to the left. The lower (NOR) position is the normal position and the upper (REV) position is the reverse position. 4)Check the neutral adjustment and left and right (up and down) travel of each servo. If the neutral position has changed, or the travel is incorrect, readjust it by changing the servo horn position on the splined shaft or by changing the hole position on the servo horn. (Adjust the neutral position by servo horn position when the transmitter trimmer is at the center. ) 5)Check the engine throttle linkage. The throttle is opened fully when the throttle stick is set to the high position (pushed forward) and is closed fully when the throttle stick is set to the maximum slow position (pulled back). 6) The throttle or rudder servo travel can be trimmed with the following throttle ATV or throttle AST/rudder AST function. Throttle ATV functioni (Function) The high and low throttle servo travel can be adjusted independently. Use this function to compensate for throttle linkage variations. The travel rate can be adjusted from 30% to 100% of the total servo travel (each side) as shown in the figure. (Adjustment procedure) 1) Initial trimmer and switch setting Before making any adjustments, open the battery cover at the back of the transmitter and set the trimmers and DIP switches on the trimmer panel to the initial state shown below. (Setting) To activate the throttle ATV function, set the rudder AST (RUD. AST) ACT/INH switch (DIP switch No. 9) on the trimmer panel to the INH (lower) position. (Be aware that the rudder AST function and throttle ATV function cannot be used simultaneously. ) * High side travel adjustment: Adjust the high side travel with the high side trimmer (H) -5- of the TH. ATV trimmers on the trimmer panel. Adjust the high side travel to between high side trimmer positions 0 (30%) and 10(100%). * Low side travel adjustment: Adjust the low side travel with the low side trimmer (L) of the TH. ATV trimmers on the trimmer panel. [. . . ] When a function is not used, its ACT/ INH switch is always set to the INH position. NOR (Normal) Used to represent the default or normal state of a function. For example, the servo reversing function has a normal side and a reverse side. RATE In the dual rate function for example, this is the rate of servo travel in percentage relative to the normal servo travel. [. . . ]
