Any time we mention a specific control on the radio itself, such as moving SWITCH A, KNOB VR , or the THROTTLE STICK, those words will be displayed as they are here. 2 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Futaba® 7C series digital proportional R/C system. [. . . ] You can use E. POINT to set the travel of the flap if you are using one flap servo. If you are using flaperons with CH1 and CH6 DO NOT inhibit FLAP-TRIM. full right. 44 There are 3 basic tail types in aircraft models: Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. Note: Only one of the two tail-type functions ( V-TAIL, and ELEVON) can be used at a time. (See the wing type example on page 42. ) Using ELEVON(ACRO ): used with delta wings, flying wings, and other tailless aircraft that combine aileron and elevator functions, using two servos, one on each elevon. This is also popular for ground model use, such as tanks, which drive two motors together for forward, and one motor forward/one backward for turning. Also aileron differential can be adjusted in this programming. Adjustability: · Requires use of CH1 and CH2. · Adjustable aileron differential. NOTE: If ELEVON is active, you cannot activate FLAPERON. You must deactivate the last function to activate ELEVON. NOTE: Be sure to move the elevator and aileron sticks to full deflection during setup. If large travels are specified, when the AILERON and ELEVATOR STICKS are moved at the same time the controls may bind or run out of travel. (For details on setting up a complex aerobatic plane, such as "space shuttle" style controls, please visit www. futaba-rc. com\faq\faq-7c. html. Many other setup examples are also available at this location. ) GOAL of EXAMPLE: Activate ELEVON. View additional model setups on the internet: www. futaba-rc. com\faq\faq-7c. html 45 STEPS: Open the ELEVON function. INPUTS: for 1 second. (If basic, to ELEVON. (Elevator travel) (Aileron travel) again. ) Using V-TAIL(ACRO): V-TAIL mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. The elevator and rudder travel can be adjusted independently. NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON functions. If one of these functions is active, an error message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. NOTE: Be sure to move the elevator and rudder sticks regularly while checking the servo motions. If a large value of travel is specified, when the sticks are moved at the same time, the controls may bind or run out of travel. CH (2/1 CH): This allows you to utilize V-TAIL function with v-tail aircraft so that elevator and aileron are combined. (For details on setting up a complex plane, such as one with a v-tail AND a separate steerable nosewheel, please visit our FAQ at www. futaba-rc. com\faq\faq-7c. html. Many other setup examples are also available at this location. ) GOAL of EXAMPLE: Activate V-TAIL. [. . . ] . 61 Switch programmability: MANY features are reassignable to a variety of switches, including simply moving an auxiliary control such as flaps from the stock dial to a switch or other location. Synthesized receiver: The 7C is compatible with the R309DPS Futaba synthesized receiver that can be used on any 72MHz channel. . 9 THR-REV: reverses the throttle trim function to the top of the THROTTLESTICK. . 31 Throttle-to-rudder mix: used to compensate with rudder when throttle is applied on take off.
