Futaba 6EX 2.4GHz - Manual (Page 5)

INTRODUCTION TO THE 6EX-2.4GHz SYSTEM
IMPORTANT!: Always turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver. When turning off the system, always turn off the receiver
first. The object is never to have the receiver on by itself. Otherwise, the servos or control surfaces could be damaged, or in the
case of electric-powered models, the motor may unexpectedly turn on causing severe injury.
Transmitter
ACRO mode: External switches operate dual rates (D/R), landing gear, and trainer cord or “buddy-box” capabilities.
Programming features include servo reversing and E.P.A on all channels, dual rates, exponentials and programmable mixing.
Additionally, any one of four, factory-set, preprogrammed “wing-type” mixers including flaperon, and V-tail, elevon mixing may
be selected.
HELI mode: Dual rate (D/R), Idle up, Throttle hold, and Gyro sense can be operated by switch. Two different gyro senses can
be set with Futaba GY401/502/611 Gyro on gyro function of this transmitter. Programming features include servo reversing
and E.P.A on all channels, dual rates, exponentials, throttle curve, pitch curve, throttle hold, and pit to rudder mixing(REVO).
Additionally, any one of three, factory-set, preprogrammed “swashplate type” mixers, including three servo type 3-S/3-E, may
be selected.
Transmitter controls
The diagram and explanations briefly describe the functions of the Futaba T6EX-2.4GHz transmitter. Full instructions on how
to operate the controls are provided beginning on page 14.
NOTE: The diagram shows a Mode 2 system as supplied. (More on flight modes on page 34).

DESCRIPTIONS:
Aileron, Elevator and Rudder dual rate switch -
Use this switch to “flip” between two aileron, elevator and rudder control throw settings. The throws can be set up however you
prefer, but generally, when the switch is “up” the throws are greater (“high rate”) and when the switch is “down” the throws are
less (“low rate”). This switch also flips between exponential rates (if used).
A:Flap switch/Channel 6 - This switch operates the servo connected to channel 6 in the receiver. If your model has flaps,
this is the control used to operate them.
H:Throttle – hold switch - This switch operates to hold the engine in the idling position and disengage it from the Throttle
Stick. It is commonly use to practice auto-rotation.
Neck strap hook - Mounting point for optional neck strap.
Aileron/elevator control stick - Operates the servos connected to channel 1 (aileron) and channel 2 (elevator) in the
receiver.
