MEANING OF SPECIAL MARKINGS Pay special attention to the safety at the parts of this manual that are indicated by the following marks. Mark Meaning Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause death or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly. When the throttle lever is pushed forward (high side), the motor turns. Adaptation for some speed controls so that the direction of operation is opposite (i. e. MC114, MC117): ·Request the adaptation to the Futaba Service Center. MIXING OPERATION (when MIX function is turned on) This mixing is used with V-tail aircraft, delta wings, etc. so that both channel 1 and channel 2 functions are combined for the two surfaces. Right Aileron Up Elevator Right Rudder (view from rear) V-TAIL OPERATION Up Elevator ELEVON OPERATION 9 BEFORE USE INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT This section describes the installation method and adjustment method after installation when installing the receiver, servos, etc. to the plane. CONNECTIONS Connection example is shown below. INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT 10 CONNECTOR CONNECTION Insert the receiver, servo, and battery connectors fully and firmly. If vibration, etc. causes a connector to work loose during flight, the plane may crash. SERVO THROW Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and adjust so that the pushrod does not bind or is not too loose. Unreasonable force applied to the servo horn will adversely affect the servo and drain the battery quickly. RECEIVER VIBRATIONPROOFING / WATERPROOFING Vibrationproof the receiver by wrapping it in sponge rubber or some such material. If the receiver may get wet, waterproof it by placing it in a plastic bag. If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration and shock, or gets wet, it may operate erroneously and cause a crash. RECEIVER ANTENNA Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna. Also, do not bundle the antenna together with the servo lead wires. Cutting or bundling the receiver antenna will lower the receiver sensitivity and shorten the flight range and cause a crash. <Antenna installation> For aircraft, attach the antenna to the top of the tail. POWER SWITCH INSTALLATION When installing a receiver power switch to the fuselage, cut a rectangular hole somewhat larger than the full stroke of the switch knob and install the switch so it moves smoothly from ON to OFF. Also install the switch where it will not come into direct contact with engine oil, dust, etc. Generally, install the switch to the fuselage at the side opposite the muffler exhaust. 11 INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT SERVO INSTALLATION Install the servos to the servo mount, etc. Also install the servos so that the servo case does not directly touch the servo mount or other parts of the fuselage. ADJUSTMENTS The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are adjusted. The basic linkage and adjustments of the fuselage conform to the fuselage design drawings and kit instruction manual. [. . . ] servos in proportion to stick operation, radio control equipment is called proportional. Reverse (REV) With the servo reversing function, this is used to mean the reverse side. The opposite side is the normal side. Channel Represents the number of control systems. It can also represent the number of servos that are operated. Rod A bar that connects the servos and the fuselage control surfaces. Down Means down elevator. It is the direction in which the trailing edge of the elevator is pointing down. Rudder Tail control surface that controls the direction of the aircraft. Elevator Control surface that moves up and down on the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft. [. . . ]
