Futaba 18MZ 2.4GHz - Manual (Page 59)

59 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
1. Model addition and call
Default settings assign one model to the T18MZ
transmitter. To add new models or select previously
setup models, use the Model Select function in the
Linkage Menu.
This is convenient when calling a model after
registering the model names in advance. (Data can also
be saved to the accessory SD card and USB memory)
The currently called model is displayed at the top
of the screen. Before flying and before changing any
settings, always confirm the model name.
Please be aware that the transmitter will stop
transmitting when you change the model.
When a new model was added, the Model type select
screen/System mode/Receiver link automatically
appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will
stop transmitting when you change the model.
2. Model type and swash type selection
When a separate model type is already selected,
select helicopter with the Model Type function of the
Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched
to the fuselage.
Helicopter basic setting procedure
3. Flight condition addition
The transmitter can install up to eight flight
conditions per model. You can assign all switches
including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches
as flight-condition selection switches. You can also
add delayed mixing to these functions in order to
avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority
order for flight conditions when you set more than one
condition. In addition, you can copy conditions and/or
change names of conditions. This command may also
be used to define what switches and/or controls are
used to activate each flight condition.
The Condition Select function automatically
allocates the default Condition 0 (Normal) for each
model type. Condition 0 (Normal) is the only one active
when a new model type is defined. This condition is
always on, and remains on until other conditions are
activated by switches.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each
channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the
servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
(General flight condition setting example)
● Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate
when switch OFF)
Use from engine starting to hovering.
● Idle up 1: (Switch setting example: Operate
at SW-E center)
Use in stall turn, loop, and other maneuvers.
● Idle up 2: (Switch setting example: Operate
at SW-E forward side)
Use in rolls.
● Throttle hold: (Switch setting example:
Operate at SW-G forward side)
Use in auto rotation.
The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/
normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority.
Add other conditions, as required.
