(a) If the boat slowly swerves to the right

when the throttle stick is set to medi-

um SLOW, the POINT is too high.

Adjust it by turning the limit point
trimmer counterclockwise. Then re-
adjust item B above.

(b) If the boat slowly swerves to the left,

the POINT is too low. Adjust by turn-
ing the limit point trimmer clockwise.

Then readjust the MIX trimmer as
described in item (B).

RUDDER DUAL RATE (DUAL-RATE ON,

DUAL-RATE OFF)

•Rudder dual rate switch

Dual-rate (servo stroke becomes narrow) is

effected when this switch is set to ON.

Dual-rate is off when the switch is set to

OFF. OFF is the normal state.

• Rudder dual rate trimmer

This trimmer adjusts the full stroke of the
servo when the rudder dual rate switch is
set to ON. Adjust it to match the course
and technique. The rudder dual rate
amount is continuously variable from 40%
to 100%.

•The Futaba Mini 3-pin wire servo can be

combined with any Futaba transmitter and

receiver. Use it to match the application.

(However, except the Futaba J Module

Series.)

•After mounting and checking are complete,

take your model to the store where you
purchased the digital proportional set, or
to an experienced radio control enthusiast,
and ask them to tell you how to install
your radio control set correctly and to in-
spect your set-up carefully.

The frequency of Futaba digital pro-
portional sets can be changed among

bands (1)~(5) on the 27MHz band

only.

However, a 27MHz band set cannot be

changed to 72MHz band, and vice
versa.
Therefore, always attach the correct
frequency flag to the end of the
transmitter antenna. Each frequency

band has its own designated color, as

stated above.. The frequency flag is in-
tended for identification purposes.
Also change the frequency flag when
changing the crystal.

Futaba paired crystals are precisely
matched. Always use a Futaba crystal

set (transmitter, receiver) when chang-

ing the frequency.

It is illegal to change crystals of trans-

mitter on the 72-76 MHz bands in the

U.S.A.
