User manual FUTABA 8UAFS

[. . . ] Thank you for purchasing a Futaba® 8Usuper series digital proportional R/C system. This system is extremely versatile and may be used by beginners and pros alike. In order for you to make the best use of your system and to fly safely, please read this manual carefully. If you have any difficulties while using your system, please consult the manual, your hobby dealer, or Futaba. This manual is not just a translation and has been carefully written to be as helpful to you, the new owner, as possible. [. . . ] If you need both flaperons and differential, activate the FLPRON function and in its menu set different up and down aileron travels to provide differential. CH7 CH1 Setting up aileron differential in AI-DIF Turn the AI-DIF function ON by pressing the (+) key ("ON" displayed ). These keys are used to move through the three submenus in the AI-DIF function. To ABRAKE function Right aileron servo (CH1) travel Move the aileron stick in both directions and set the travel in each direction with the (+)/(-) keys. Amount of servo Amount of servo travel for left travel for right stick motion stick motion Travel Range: -120 to +120% Initially settings are 100% Left aileron servo (CH7) travel Press the right (>) key and repeat To FLPTRM function travel adjustment as done for CH1. · Press the (+)/(-) keys simultaneously to return to 0%. Data input keys 46 The ABRAKE function simultaneously drops the flaps and moves the elevator, and may be used to make steep descents or limit airspeed in dives. Airbrakes can be activated in a proportional manner by moving the throttle stick, or you may choose to move all the controls to the defined positions by flipping switch C. If you choose to operate it by throttle stick motion, you'll need to set the stick position for it to be activated. You can suppress sudden changes in your model's attitude when airbrake is activated by setting the delay ("DLY") item, which slows down the elevator response. When the FLPRON function has been selected, the travel of the ailerons when the airbrake is operated can be independently adjusted for the servos plugged into CH1 and CH6. When AI-DIFF function is used, the travel for CH1 and CH7 may be adjusted. Normally both ailerons are raised in the airbrake mode, and the elevator motion is selected to maintain trim when the ailerons rise. Setting up Airbrake function 1. Turn the ABRAKE function ON by pressing the (+) key ("ON" displayed ). These keys are used to move through the seven submenus in the ABRAKE function. To ELE-FL function Channel whose throw is being set: AIL = Aileron (shown) FLP = Flap ELE = Elevator Servo travel Range: -100 to +100% Initial values: AIL, FLP=+50% Elevator = -20% 2. Set Aileron travel setting Input the travel you'd like with the (+)/(-) keys. · Press the (+)/(-) keys simultaneously to return to the initial value for the control. To AI-DIF function Data input keys Set Throttle position (a throttle on/off position must be set if you use the linear (LIN) airbrake mode). Elevator delay value Range: 0 - 100% Initial setting = 0% 5. Set Elevator delay rate · Adjust the elevator delay with the (+)/(-) keys. · A 100% delay produces full elevator throw in about one second · Press the (+)/(-) keys simultaneously to return to 0%. Throttle position Range: 0 - 100% Initial value: 0% 7. Enter Throttle position The throttle position you set becomes the starting point for air brake operation. The servo motions increase linearly when the throttle stick passes this position. Enter the position into memory by pressing the (+)/(-) keys simultaneously. You can disable the airbrake mixing with Switch C during LIN mixing. 6) Airbrake control selection Select the control whose motion you want to use to turn the airbrake mixing on and off with the (+)/(-) keys. [. . . ] Top arrow indicates the current throttle The blinking item on the setting screen is the stick position (2 arrows means it's current setting item. between points) Curve points 1-5 The bottom arrow shows the point on the five-point curve currently being set. These keys are used to move between curve points in the TH-CRV function. To TH-CRV function Input 5-point curve values Move the lower arrow to the position you want to set with the CURSOR keys (the curve point is indicated by the arrow below the Curve Name Curve Point Value numbers 1-5, and the current To PI-CRV (Range: 0 - +100%) Display throttle position is above the IDL1 function Initial curve settings: (NORM) numbers). POS2 = 25% · If you're unhappy with what you've POS3 = 50% set, you may return to the default POS4 = 75% value by pressing the (+) and (-) POS5 = 100% keys simultaneously. [. . . ]
