set up 2 similar models, or make a copy of a working model to experiment with new setups. Also used to copy models to/
from the CAMpac data storage unit. ................................................................................................................................... 31
MODEL
NAME
: gives each model memory an 8-character name for easy recognition. In
MODEL
submenu. .......................... 32
MODEL
RESET
: restore all data in a single model memory to defaults, including name and model type. See
RESET
.
MODEL
SELECT
: choose the model memory you wish to modify or fl y. In
MODEL
submenu. ................................................ 30
MODEL SELECTION ERROR
: the memory last loaded in the transmitter is not currently available (usually because it is on a
CAMPac not currently in the transmitter). See Error messages.
MODEL
TYPE
: select the type of model the aircraft is, including airplane, 2 glider types, and 5 heli types. ......................... 34
MODUL
: modulation, means of transmitting data (
PPM
,
PCM
). In
PARAMETER
submenu. ..................................................... 35
Module: electronic component which can easily be removed/replaced into the transmitter, which houses all transmission
components. Transmission frequency can be safely, legally and easily changed (including from band to band) by changing
the module. TP-FM is the standard module, available on any 50MHz or 72MHz frequency. You may also purchase
TP75FM for ground use, 75MHz. .......................................................................................................................................... 9
MOTOR CUT
(
GLID
): provides an easy way to stop the motor by fl ipping a switch regardless of the AIRBRAKE STICK
position. ................................................................................................................................................................................ 79

NAME
.
Neckstrap: optional strap to suspend transmitter during use. Futaba stock # FTA8. See Accessories.
Ni-Cd: Nickel Cadmium rechargeable battery. Typically used to power transmitter and receiver. See Battery care and
charging.
NiMH: Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery. Newer battery technology than Ni-Cd. Longer run times but more
specifi c peak charging requirements. [Require a (zero) delta peak charger labeled specifi cally for use with NiMH batteries.]
NORMAL
: trainer mode that does not give student radio the computer programming features of the master radio. See
Trainer.
NT8S: standard transmitter battery pack. See Accessories.
NULL
: not assigned or never changed. Ex: a mix which has a null switch assignment is always active, and can never be
changed in fl ight (turned off) no matter which switch is moved.
OFFSET
: (
HELI
) separate trim settings available to each idle-up (using
CONDITION
) setting, or assigned to separate switches
from the condition switches. When offset is
ON
, movement of the trim levers adjusts the
OFFSET
, not the normal condition's
trims. ..................................................................................................................................................................................
102
OFFSETs
: additional fl ight conditions available speciffi cally for sailplanes ......................................................................... 84
Offset mix: mix that independently moves the slave servo a set percentage of its total throw, not in relation to any master.
See Programmable mix.
PA2: Pilot Assist. Optional onboard device that uses optical sensors to correct modelis orientation to upright.
PARAMETER
submenu: sets specifi c parameters. Includes reset, type, modulation, second aileron servo setup, and
ATL
. ... 33
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. An electronically encoded method of transmitting data to a receiver to help minimize
the effects of interference. (Transmission is on an FM wavelength, and uses FM crystals, module and trainer cord.). See
Modulation.
Peak Charger: charger that automatically stops charging when the battery is fully charged (commonly called ipeakedi). See
Battery care and charging.
Piezo gyro: gyro that uses a piezo crystal to sense angular changes. See Gyros and Governors.
Pitch-to-rudder mix: see
REVO
