Futaba 14MZ - Manual (Page 39)

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns 1 model to the T14MZ
transmitter. The Model Select function of the
Linkage Menu is used to add models and to call
models which are already set.
This is convenient when calling a model after its
name has been registered. (The data of up to 30 models
can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved
to the accessory Data-Pack.)
The currently called model name is displayed at the
top of the screen. Before flying and before changing
any settings, always confi rm the model name.
When a new model was added, the Model type
select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/
Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. After
changing or confi rming the model, turn the power off
and on according to the instructions on the screen.
Please be aware that the transmitter will stop
transmitting when you change the model.
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the fuselage with
the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu.
For an airplane, select the model type from among the
3 types: airplane, glider, and motor glider. When the
Wing type select screen is displayed and the wing type
is selected when selecting the model type, the Tail type
select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched
to the fuselage.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane,
glider, and motor glider.
Airplane/glider basic setting procedure
3. Fuselage linkage
Link the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc.
in accordance with the model's instruction manual.
For a description of the connection method, see the
Receiver and Servos Connection.
Note: The channel assignment of the T14MZ is
different from that of our existing systems. Note
that even for the same "airplane model", when the
wing type and tail type are different, the channel
assignment may be different. (The channel assigned
to each function can be checked at the Function
menu of the Linkage Menu.)
● When the direction of the linkage is reversed,
adjust the direction with the Reverse function of
the Linkage Menu.
● Connect the throttle linkage so carburetor is
open at full trim and full open then the throttle
can be cut.
● Adjust the neutral position and rudder angle
with the linkage, and fine tune them with
the Sub Trim and End Point functions (rudder
angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a
limit position can also be set with the End Point
function. The End Point function can adjust the
amount of up/down and left/right movement,
limit, and servo speed of each channel.
