Never turn the power switch on and off during flight or while the engine or motor is running.
■ Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will crash. Even if the power switch is turned on, operation will not begin until transmitter and receiver internal processing is complete.
Do not start the engine or motor while wearing the neck strap.
■ The neck strap may become entangled with the rotating propeller, rotor, etc. and cause a serious injury.
Do not fly when you are physically impaired as it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.
Do not fly at the following places:
■ Near another radio control flying field.
■ Near or above people.
■ Near homes, schools, hospitals or other places where people congregate.
■ Near high voltage lines, high structures, or communication facilities.
When setting the transmitter on the ground during flight preparations, do not stand it upright.
■ The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and the propeller or rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury.
Do not touch the engine, motor, or FET amp during and immediately after use.
■ These items may become hot during use.
For safety, fly so that the aircraft is visible at all times.
■ Flying behind buildings or other large structures will not only cause you to lose sight of the aircraft, but also degrade the RF link performance and cause loss of control.
From the standpoint of safety, always set the fail safe function.
■ In particular, normally set the throttle channel to idle.
For a helicopter, set the throttle channel to maintain a hover.
When flying, always return the transmitter setup screen to the Home screen.
■ Erroneous input during flight is extremely dangerous.
Always check the remaining capacity of the transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session prior to flight.
■ Low battery capacity will cause loss of control and a crash.
Always check operation of each control surface and perform a range test before each flying session. Also, when using the trainer function, check the operation of both the teacher and student transmitter.
■ Even one transmitter setting or aircraft abnormality cause a crash.
Before turning on the transmitter:
1. Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to the minimum (idle) position.
2. Turn on the transmitter first and then the receiver.
When turning off the transmitter's power switch. After the engine or motor has stopped
(state in which it will not rotate again):
1. Turn off the receiver power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
■ If the power switch is turned on/off in the opposite order, the propeller may rotate unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.
■ Also always observe the above order when setting the fail safe function.
■ Maximum low throttle: Direction in which the engine or motor runs at the slowest speed or stops.
When adjusting the transmitter, stop the engine except when necessary. In the case of a motor, disconnect the wiring and to allow it to continue operation. When doing so, please exercise extreme caution. Ensure that the aircraft is secured and that it will not come into contact with anything or anyone. Ensure that the motor will not rotate prior to making any adjustments.
■ Unexpected high speed rotation of the engine may cause a serious injury.

Battery Care and Precautions
Below you will find some general rules and guidelines which should be adhered to when charging transmitter and/or receiver battery packs. These are included to serve only as general guidelines, and are not intended to replace or supersede the information provided by the battery and/or charger manufacturer. For complete information, please refer to the instructions that are included with the battery pack(s) and/or chargers that accompany the products purchased.
•Do not allow children to charge battery packs without adult supervision.
•Do not charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way. We strongly suggest frequent inspection of the battery packs to ensure that no damage has occurred.
• Do not to allow batteries to overheat! If overheated, disconnect the battery from the charger immediately and allow to cool.
• Do not mix cells- all cells should be of the same material, configuration, etc.
•Do not deep cycle batteries as permanent damage could result.
• Never charge batteries on a surface that may become hot, or may be impacted by the heat.
• Immediately end the charging procedure if either the batteries or charger itself become overly hot.
• NiMH cells do not exhibit the “memory effect” like NiCd cells, so little cycling is needed. Store
NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).
• NiMH cells have a self-discharge rate of approximately 20-25% (compared to 15% for NiCd batteries). It is important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use.
• Never connect the battery in reverse. Reverse connection will cause the battery to overheat or will damage the inside of the charger.
•Do not add an additional charge after charging.
• Never charge with a current exceeding the nominal capacity (lC) of the rechargeable battery.
• If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate.
•Do not connect two battery packs or more to one output terminal.
•Avoid extremely cold and hot places and the direct sunlight when you charge batteries.
• It is recommended to perform charging within the 10 ~ 30°C (50-86°F) range. Otherwise, it may cause abnormal charging and overheat.

ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE CONTROL STICKS
Stick tip A Locking piece B
You may change the length of the control sticks to make your transmitter more comfortable to hold and operate. To lengthen or shorten your transmitter’s sticks, first unlock the stick tip by holding locking piece B and turning stick tip A counterclockwise. Next, move the locking piece B up or down (to lengthen or shorten). When the length feels comfortable, lock the position by turning locking piece B counterclockwise.
STICK LEVER TENSION ADJUSTMENT
You may adjust the tension of your sticks to provide the feel that you prefer for flying. To adjust your springs, you’ll have to remove the rear case of the transmitter. First, remove the battery cover on the rear of the transmitter. Next, unplug the battery wire, and remove the battery from the transmitter. Next, using a screwdriver, remove the four screws that hold the transmitter’s rear cover in position, and put them in a safe place. Gently ease off the transmitter’s rear cover. Now you’ll see the view shown in the figure above.
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw for each stick for the desired spring tension. The tension increases when the adjusting screw is turned clockwise. When you are satisfied with the spring tensions, reattach the transmitter's rear cover. When the cover is properly in place, reinstall and tighten the four screws. Reinstall the battery and cover.
Four screws are removed and rear case is removed.

WARNING & ERROR DISPLAYS
An alarm or error indication may appear on the display of your transmitter for a number of reasons, including when the transmitter power switch is turned on, when the battery voltage is low, and several others. Each display has a unique sound associated with it, as described below.
LOW BATTERY ERROR: Warning sound: Continuous beep until transmitter is powered off.
The LOW BATTERY warning is displayed when the transmitter battery voltage drops below 4.1V.
LOW BATT Land your model as soon as possible before loss of control due to a dead battery.
MIXING ALARM WARNING: Warning sound: Several beeps repeated until problem resolved or overridden.
The MIXING ALARM warning is displayed to ALARM you whenever you turn on the transmitter with any of the mixing switches active. This warning will disappear when the offending switch or control is deactivated. Switches for which warnings will be issued at power-up are listed below. Throttle cut, idle-down, airbrake, motor SW, flight MD, throttle-stick and condition. If turning a switch OFF does not stop the mixing warning: The functions described previously probably use the same switch and the OFF direction setting is reversed. In short, one of the mixings described above is not in the OFF state. In this case, reset the warning display by pressing both + / - KEY at the same time.
Next, change one of the switch settings of the duplicated mixings.
*If "ESC mode" is chosen by "THR.CUT", a THR CUT will not start warning.
BACKUP ERROR: Warning sound: Several beeps (repeated continuously)
The BACKUP ERROR warning occurs when the transmitter memory is lost for any reason. If this occurs, all of the data will be reset when the power is turned on again.
Do not fly when this message is displayed : all programming has been erased and is not available. Return your transmitter to
Futaba for service.
A setup of warning of each sensor can be performed in TELEMETRY .
MIX TLM
"MIX" mark is shown about warning of throttle cut, idle-down, airbrake, motor SW, flight MD, throttle-stick and condition.
"TLM" mark is shown about warning of TELEMETRY.

LINK PROCEDURE (T6K/R3006SB)
Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R3006SB receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work.
Link procedure
1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within 20 inches(half meter).
Less than 20 inches
8. If the receiver ID is displayed in the transmitter and the LED changed from red blinking to a steady green light , linking is complete. (The receiver linking wait state ends in about 3 seconds.)
9. Check system operation. If the transmitter and receiver are not linked, try linking again.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Select [MDL-SEL] and access the setup screen shown below by press the jog key .
4. Use the jog key to select (NO LINK) or the
ID number next to LINK in the [MDL-SEL] menu.
XXXXXXXXX
* If there are many T-FHSS Air systems turned on in close proximity, your receiver might have difficulty establishing a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence.
However, should another T-FHSS Air transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to the wrong transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we strongly recommend you to double check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter.
*When the linked transmitter power is turned on, communications begins.
*When using 2 receivers, perform the linking operation the same as the 1st receiver. (However, when 2 receivers are used, the telemetry system cannot be used.)
*Link is required when a new model is made from a model selection.
5. Hold down the jog key to enter the link mode.
6. A chime from the transmitter notifies the operator that the transmitter has entered the link mode.
“Beep beep beep”
(Enters the link mode for 20 seconds)
In "Link" Mode
WARNING
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter.
Don't perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury.
Receiver ON
7. Immediately turn on the receiver power.
The receiver will enter the linking state
(LED blinks red) about 3 seconds after the receiver power is turned on.
*Link is required when a new model is made from a model selection.
*When telemetry can't be used, try a relink once again.
RECEIVER NOMENCLATURE
Before using the receiver, be sure to read the precautions listed in the following pages.

R3006SB CH MODE
The R3006SB receiver is a very versatile unit. It has 6 PWM outputs and S.BUS2 outputs. Additionally the SB/6 outputs can be changed from channels PWM 6 channel to S.BUS.
How to change the R3006SB Channel mode
(S.BUS
⇔ 6CH )
The R3006SB is capable of changing its channel allocations as described in the table below.
1 Turn on the receiver. (At this moment, the transmitter should be off.) Then, LED blinks
RED in about 3 seconds. Next, wait until it becomes solid RED.
2 Press and hold the Mode switch more than 5 seconds.
3 Release the button when the LED blinks RED and GREEN simultaneously.
4 The receiver is now in the "Operation CH Set" mode. At this moment, the LED indicates current set status through flashing a pattern that corresponds to the CH mode.
*Cannot exit this CH setting mode before the operation mode is fixed.
**See the below table that shows correspondence between "CH mode" and way of flashing LED.
***Default CH mode is "Mode A (6CH)".
5 By pressing the Mode switch, the operation
CH is switched sequentially as " Mode A"
"Mode B" "Mode A"....
6 The operation mode will be set by pressing the Mode switch more than 2 seconds at the desired CH mode.
7 Release the button when the LED blinks
RED and GREEN simultaneously. Then, the operation CH is fixed.
8 After confirming the operation CH mode is changed, turn off and back on the receiver power.
*The “Operation CH Set” mode cannot be changed during the receiver communicates to the transmitter.

RECEIVER's ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The R3006SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly problem-free.
*Must be kept as straight as possible.
Antenna
Coaxial cable
To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions:
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
Antenna
R3006SB Receiver
This is not a critical figure, but the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible.
Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best
RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor,
ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.
Antenna
*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
*The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

Servo lead wires
To prevent the servo lead cable from being broken by vibration during flight, provide a little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable points. Periodically check the cable during daily maintenance.
Slack in the lead wire.
Fasten about 5-10cm from the servo outlet so that the lead wire is neat.
MOUNTING THE POWER
SWITCH
When mounting a power switch to an airframe, make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn the switch ON/OFF without binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is recommended to mount the power switch on the side of the fuselage that is opposite the muffler.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS when you install receiver and servos
WARNING
Connecting connectors
Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point.
How to protect the receiver from vibration and water
Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash.
Install in a way that makes sure that the 2 antennas won’t touch the ground.
Servo throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods will not bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, the servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.
RANGE CHECK THE RADIO
A range check must be performed before the first flight of a new model. It is not necessary to do a range check before every flight (but is not a bad idea to perform a range check before the first flight of each day). A range check is the final opportunity to reveal any radio malfunctions, and to be certain the system has adequate operational range.
We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T6K in order to perform an operational ground range check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational range of the T6K.
To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check:
1) To activate the “Power Down Mode” please hold down the JOG KEY and then turn the transmitter switch on. A power mode screen is displayed. Press the JOG
KEY to select the Power Down function. When this mode is active the blink on the LED lighting from of the transmitter will provide users with an audible and visual indication that the transmitter is in the “Power
Down Mode”. Audibly, the transmitter will beep one time every three seconds. Visually, the LCD screen will display “POWER DOWN MODE”. The words “POWER
DOWN MODE” will blink as an additional reminder that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.
Select the "OFF" and press the Jog key .
A screen opens without o u t p u t t i n g p o w e r .
The receiver does not operate.
Select the "ON" and press the Jog key .
P o w e r i s u s u a l l y outputted from power mode.
2) With the “Power Down Mode” activated, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls.
Have an assistant stand by the model and signal what the controls are doing to confirm that they operate correctly. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control.
3) If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Push END KEY and complete power down mode. Set the transmitter in a safe yet accessible location so it will be within reach after starting the engine. Be certain the throttle stick is all the way down, and then start the engine. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the model and the engine running at various speeds.
If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. Do NOT fly the aircraft! Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also be certain that the battery has been fully charged.
4) NEVER start flying when the “Power Down Mode” is active.
Servo test operation at the time of Power Down Mode:
During Power Down mode, you can use automatic servo testing to check the range of a specified servo (it moves to right and left slowly).
1) A "SERVO" is chosen from a menu.
2) JOG KEY is moved to a side and 2 pages is called. Next, JOG KEY is moved down and CH is displayed.
3) CH of the servo which wants to operate is chosen. Then, the + KEY is pressed and it is made ACT.
The servo selected during Power Down Mode operates alone, allowing you to check its operation.
It is during Power Down Mode starting, and if "SERVO TEST" is turned ON, it will move.
*In the Power Down Mode, the throttle servo does not operate.
*Helicopter mode, condition is fixed to NOR.
DANGER
NEVER start flying when the “Power Down
Mode” is active.
*Control is impossible and your model crashes.

S.BUS/S.BUS2 INSTALLATION
This set uses the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system. The wiring is as simplified and clean mounting as possible, even with models that use a large number of servos. In addition, the wings can be quickly installed to the fuselage without any extraneous wiring by the use of only one simple wire, even when there are a large number of servos used.
●When using S.BUS/S.BUS2, special settings and mixes in your transmitter may be unnecessary.
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos memorize the number of channels themselves. (Settable with the T6K)
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 system and conventional system (receiver conventional CH used) can be mixed.

When normal radiowaves cannot be received due to noise and interference, the NOR mode, which holds the servo of each channel in its position immediately before reception was lost, or F/S (Fail
Safe) mode, which moves the servo of each channel to a preset position, can be selected. When T-FHSS
Air is selected, the battery fail safe voltage can be set.
●When the throttle channel was reversed by servo reverse function, the F/S data is also reversed.
●If the receiver battery voltage drops below the set value when the fail safe mode was selected, the battery fail safe function moves the servo to a preset position.
●The S-FHSS fail safe voltage is 3.8V.
(Common)
●When this function was performed reset the battery fail safe function by the following method and immediately land.
Reset method: The battery fail safe function can be temporarily disabled by moving the throttle stick to the slowest side. However, after 30 seconds the battery fail safe function will return to the battery fail safe state.
WARNING
For safety, always set the fail safe functions.
●Remember to set the throttle channel fail safe function so that the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters.
Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous.
●If the battery fail safe is reset by the throttle stick, it may be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at throttle slow and the model will continue to fly. If you have any doubts, immediately land.

REVERS
Servo reverse
(Common)
Function
Servo reversing (REVERSE): changes the direction an individual servo responds to a
CONTROL STICK motion.
For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on SWASH AFR before reversing any servos.
With the exception of CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming.
CAUTION
When using AIRPLANE/GLIDER functions that control multiple servos, such as 2AIL or V-TAIL, it may be confusing to determine whether the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed. Refer to the instructions for each specialized function for further details.
Only the throttle channel (CH3) initial setting is REV (reverse). Thoroughly check the Hi and Low directions of the engine or motor used and be careful that they do not suddenly run at full speed.
Since the direction of the ailerons of an airplane can be easily mistaken, be very careful.

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter
*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function.
88
ID = [ ID ]
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.
CHAN ▶ [ Channel ]
Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.
NEUT ▶ [ Neutral Offset ]
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
EPA ▶ [ Travel Adjust ]
The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.
DEAD ▶ [ Dead band ]
The dead band angle at stopping can be specified.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]
Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change.
Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.
REVE ▶ [ Reverse ]
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
STRE ▶ [ Stretcher ]
The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted.
This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]
Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker.
Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.
BOST ▶ [ Boost ]
The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded.
The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]
Small → Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.
Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough.
DAMP ▶ [ Damper ]
The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.
When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position.
Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]
Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.
Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened.
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened.
BSTM ▶ ON/OFF [ Boost ON/OFF ]
OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual)
ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope)
SPED ▶ [ Speed Control ]
Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque.
However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.
STAR ▶ [ Soft Start ]
Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position.
SMOT ▶ [ Smoother ]
This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D.

●The type of timer can be selected from among up (UP), down (DOWN), and down stop (DN-STP).
The up timer is counted up from 0 and the elapsed time is displayed on the screen. The down timer is counted down from the set time and the remaining time is displayed on the screen. The down stop timer stops the count at 0. Each timer can be set up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
●Switches A to D, throttle stick (ST-THR), or power switch (PWR-SW) can be selected as the start/
(Common)
stop switch (START). The ON/OFF direction can also be set. However, when the power switch was selected, the timer starts when the power switch is turned on.
●When the timer you want to reset is selected with the Jog key and the Jog key is pressed for 1 second at the home screen, the timer is reset. Switches A to
D can be selected as the reset switch (RESET). The
ON/OFF direction can also be set.
●The up/down timer audible alarm indicates the time by a beep every second, continuous beeping at 2 second intervals from 20 seconds before the set time, and a continuous beeping at a 1 second interval from 10 seconds before the set time.

TRAINR
Trainer
(Common)
Function
Since the channel and operation mode used in training can be selected, the training difficulty can be set to match the student’s level.
The trainer function can be used by connecting the instructor’s transmitter to the student’s transmitter using a special trainer cord (sold separately). Student operation is possible by instructor switch operation. If the student enters a dangerous situation, control can be immediately switched to the instructor.
● Four operation modes can be selected at each channel.
● The trainer switch is set to switch D.
Trainer code
When the trainer function is used, cancel the function assigned to the switch D. THR-HOLD of a helicopter can't be used.
CAUTION
Use the trainer function under the following conditions:
Teacher
● When the instructor uses a T6K transmitter, set the student’ s transmitter modulation to PPM (for conventional frequency transmitter). (When the student uses a T6K transmitter, the modulation mode does not have to be changed. A PPM signal is always output from the trainer jack.)
● Before flight always confirm that all the instructor and student channels operate normally as set.
● Always insert the trainer cord as far as it will go and take measures so that the cord will not work loose during use.
● Always remove the high frequency module of the student’ s transmitter. (For module type)
● Never turn on the student’ s transmitter power switch.
Trainer function operation modes
● FNC mode: The channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student using the mixing set at the instructor’ s transmitter. *Student settings are returned to their initial value in advance. Next, reverse function makes all channels normal.
● NOR mode: The channel set to this mode is controlled by signals from the student’ s transmitter. (The instructor and student settings must be the same.)
●OFF mode: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student. It can only be controlled by the instructor.
However, channels not provided at the student’ s transmitter are controlled by the instructor regardless of the above settings.
When other models are selected, the trainer function is deactivated, but the channel settings remain.
Example of use
● When the FUNC mode is set at the stick channel, helicopter stick operation training is possible even with a 4EX transmitter (4 channels for aircraft).
● Control by the instructor is possible by setting only the training channel matched to the student’ s level to the NORM mode and setting the other channels to the OFF mode.

●When the operation mode is “OFST” (offset), the air brake is controlled by switch operation. When the operation mode is “LINR” (linear), the air brake is operated linearly at switch ON and from the control stick set position.
(Example)
1AIL 1AIL1FLP 2AIL
(AIRPLANE)
2AIL1FLP ELEVON
●If the “LINR” mode was selected, the throttle stick controls CH3 and the air brake operation, but it can be separated from CH3 operation. CH 3 control can be switched from stick to stick or to
VR knob. However, when other than stick was selected, the throttle trim and function reverse functions cannot be used.
●When used in the “LINR” mode, adjust the travel with the throttle stick at the maximum slow side
(braking amount maximum).

Function
This mixing is used to correct the bad tendencies of the swash plate in the aileron direction and elevator direction relative to aileron, elevator, and pitch operations. It adjusts the rate of the direction that requires correction so that the servo operates
(HELICOPTER) smoothly in the proper direction relative to each operation.
●The correction amount of each condition can be set.
●The left and right (up and down) correction amount can be set for each condition.
Example of use: Using to correct bad roll tendencies
① AIL → ELE is set to ON.
② INH/ON is common to all conditions. The rate of unused conditions is set to 0%.
③ When the nose drops at right roll and the right side rate is adjusted in the "+" direction, the elevators move to the up side when the right aileron is deflected.
Left roll can be adjusted by left side rate.
However, since the left and right ailerons polarity and elevators operating direction relationship is reversed; check the correction direction by swash plate operation.

Throttle curve
Function
The throttle curve function sets a 5 point curve in relation to the throttle stick movement and adjusts each point over the 0 〜 100% range so that the engine speed is optimum for flight.
(HELICOPTER)
●Normal (NOR), idle up 1 (IDL1), idle up 2 (IDL2) throttle curves can be set.
●The normal (NOR), idle up 1 (IDL1), idle up 2 (IDL2) switch can be pre-set at the condition selection screen.
(Normal throttle curve adjustment method)
The normal throttle curve creates a basic throttle curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the normal pitch curve so that engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest. The normal throttle function is always on.
(Idle up 1/2 throttle curve adjustment method)
The idle up curves are set so that the engine maintains a constant speed even when the pitch is reduced during flight. Curves matched to the purpose such as loop, roll and 3D are created and idle up curves 1/2 are by aerobatics.
CAUTION
Operation precautions
When starting the engine, always set idle up sticks 1/2 to OFF and start the engine at idling.

PIT CRV
Pitch curve
Function
The pitch curve function allows setting by a 5 point curve in relation to throttle stick movement and adjustment of each point over the -100% 〜
+100% range so that the pitch enters the optimum flight state.
(HELICOPTER)
●Normal (NOR), idle up 1 (IDL1), idle up 2 (IDL2), and hold (HLD) pitch curves can be set.
●The normal (NOR), idle up 1 (IDL1), idle up 2 (IDL2), and hold (HOLD) switches can be pre-set at the conditions selection screen.
NOTE: When the hold switch is on, the hold function has priority even though an idle up switch is in any position.
(Normal curve adjustment method)
The normal pitch curve creates a basic pitch curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the throttle pitch curve so that engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.
(Idle up 1/2 curve adjustment method)
The high side pitch curve sets the maximum pitch that does not apply a load to the engine. The low side pitch curve is created to match the purpose such as loop, roll, and 3D. The idle up 1/2 curves are used by aerobatics.
(Throttle hold curve adjustment method)
The throttle hold curve is used when performing auto rotation dives. Set the intermediate pitch to match the stick work at pitch up.

REVO MX
Pitch → Rudder (Revolution) mixing
(HELICOPTER)
Function
The pitch→rudder mixing function controls the pitch of the tail rotor to suppress the reaction torque (force that attempts to swing the helicopter in the direction opposite the direction of rotation of the main rotor) generated by the main rotor pitch and speed. It is adjusted so that the pitch of the tail rotor is also changed when the main rotor pitch changes and reaction torque appears and so that the nose does not swing to the left and right. However, when the AVCS mode is used with a GY Series gyro, pitch→rudder mixing is unnecessary.
●The normal (NOR) idle up 1/2 (IDL1,2) rates can be set.
●The high side and low side rates can be adjusted.
●For a clockwise rotation rotor, the operating direction is set so that the rudder is mixed in the right direction when the pitch becomes plus. For a counterclockwise rotation rotor, the setting is opposite. The operating direction setting reverses the rate polarity.
CW rotation: Low side (LOW) -105, high side (HIGH)
+10%
CCW rotation: Low side (LOW) +10%, high side
(HIGH) -10%
* The above values are the initial values. Replace them with the actual setting values.
Adjustment procedure
First, trim at hovering and then adjust the neutral position.
(Normal pitch → rudder mixing)
● Throttle low side (slow while hovering) adjustment
Repeatedly hover from take off and land from hovering at a constant rate matched to your own rhythm, and adjust pitch → rudder mixing so that the nose does not deflect when the throttle is raised and lowered.
If the nose points to the left when landing from hovering or points to the right when taking off, when hovering stabilizes and the stick moves to the neutral position, low side mixing rate is probably too large and when the nose points in the opposite direction, low side rate is probably too small. However, when landing, the direction of the nose may not stabilize depending on the state on the ground. The direction of the nose may also become unstable when rotation of the rotor does not rise.
● Throttle high (up to climbing from hovering and diving hovering) adjustment
Repeat up to climbing from hovering and diving hovering matched to your own rhythm and adjust pitch → rudder mixing so that the nose does not deflect to the left and right when the throttle is raised and lowered. If the nose points to the right when climbing from hovering, the high side mixing rate is too large and if the nose points to the right, the mixing rate is too small. Repeat climbing and diving and make adjustment while taking the balance.
(Idle-up1/2 Pitch → Rudder mixing)
This mixing sets the mixing rate so that the rudder direction is straight forward at high speed flight.
