Futaba 18MZ 2.4GHz - Manual (Page 57)

57 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns one model to the T18MZ
transmitter. The Model Select function of the
Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select
models which have already been set.
This is convenient when calling a model after its
name has been registered. (Data can also be saved to
the accessory SD card and USB memory)
The currently called model name is displayed at the
top of the screen. Before flying and before changing
any settings, always confirm the model name.
When a new model was added, the Model type
select screen/System Type/Receiver link automatically
appear. 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 T18MZ 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 have been optimized and may be
different. (The channel assigned to each function
can be checked in the Function menu of the
Linkage Menu.)
● When the direction of the linkage is reversed,
adjust the direction with the Servo Reverse
function in the Linkage Menu.
● Connect the throttle linkage so the carburetor
is open at full trim and full open so that 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.
