User manual FUTABA FP-5NLH

[. . . ] Futaba DIGITAL PROPORTIONAL RADIO CONTROL FM INSTRUCTION MANUAL D60400 Thank you for purchasing a Futaba digital proportional radio control set. FEATURES OF FP-5NLH The FP-5NLH for helicopters is an FM proportional radio control set for helicopters with an ergonomic case crested as a result of the exhaustive pursuit of easier operation. Newly designed sticks for smooth and positive operation, servo reversing switches for a l l channels, aileron and elevator AST (Adjustable Servo Throw), pitch control trim, idle up, and other innovations based on the opinions of many RC modelers. TRANSMITTER FP-T5NLH SERVO FP-S130 SMALL, RUGGED, HIGH NEUTRAL SERVO · Small, double ball bearing, water-tight & dusttight servo. [. . . ] 7 Elevator servo reversing switch Aileron servo reversing switch Throttle servo reversing switch Rudder servo reversing switch Pitch control servo reversing switch LED Rx: NORM-> Normal REV -> Reverse After linkage is complete, inspect the servos. If the direction of operation of the stick lever and the direction of operation of a servo are opposite, switch the appropriate servo reversing switch. Battery cover Remove this cover when switching the servo reversing switches. Charging plug (NR-4J) Pig. 10 Remove the battery cover, by pulling it in the arrow direction while pressing downward. Fig. 8 · Connect the charging plug of the FBC-8B charge to the transmitter charging jack, connect the 3P connector of the FBC-8B to the receiver NiCad battery (NR-4J), and plug the FBC-8B to a 117VAC outlet as shown in this figure. · The Receiver battery can be used about 10 times at 10 minutes per flight between rechargings. When the set is not in use for some time, repeat discharge and charge two to three times before use. (If the batteries are not used for a long time, their capacity will go down). · FBC-8B charges transmitter and receiver NiCad batteries independently or simultaneously. RECEIVER FP-R107N & SERVO FP-S130 Receiver, servos, switches, and battery connections 4 servos are provided as standard. Receiver crystal Elevator servo Aileron servo Throttle servo Rudder servo 7-channel FM receiver FP-R107N Antenna wire Rate gyro FP-G152 Gyro output switching connector is not connected. Install the switch where it will not be exposed to engine oil, dust, etc. · Even though the receiver antenna is long, do not cut or bundle it. Tighten the mounting screws until the rubber grommet is crushed slightly. If the screws are too tight, the cushioning effect will be adversely affected. · The crystal can be changed from the outside of the receiver case. Always use the Futaba transmitter/receiver matched crystal set to change the band. Waterproof and dustproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and wrapping a rubber band around the open end of the bag. · Use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the servo and switch leads. · After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then check the range by making the transmitter antenna as short as possible, extending the receiver antenna fully, and operating the set from a distance of 20m to 30m. The movement of each servo should follow the movement of each stick of the transmitter. · After mounting and checking are complete, take your model to the shop where you purchased the set, or to an experienced radio control modeler, and ask them to teach you how to handle your radio control set in the proper manner and to inspect your set-up carefully. · To enjoy radio control models fully, be sure to observe all safety standards. · General adjustment Make the linkages and adjustments as described in the model manufacturer's instruction manual. When the throttle (engine control) stick is set from the SLOW side to the HIGH side, the throttle servo operates as shown in Fig. If revolution mixing is applied at this time, the rudder servo operates together with the throttle servo as shown in Fig. The rudder stick operating width becomes larger as the number of divisions of the scale become larger. [. . . ] After the engine is cut or at maximum slow (during practice), only the pitch control servo is operated (pick up) and safe take off is possible. 1 Set the throttle (engine control), throttle (engine control) switch and throttle (engine control) trimmer so that the engine throttle is fully closed at maximum slow. 2 Set the throttle trimmer so that the engine throttle becomes maximum slow when the throttle hold switch is set to ON (pulled forward) at autorotation practice. (Set so that the throttle is fully closed when the engine is cut. ) 3 When the throttle hold switch is set to OFF (pushed back), the throttle (engine control) servo and pitch control servo mixing is performed.
