1. Model addition and selection
Initially, the T8FGS assigns the first model to
model-01 in the transmitter. To add new models
or to select a model already programmed, use the
Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.
This is convenient when selecting a model
after entering the model's names in advance. The
T8FGS is capable of storing up to 20 models in the
transmitter's internal memory. Additional models
can also be stored in an optional SD card.
The currently selected model is displayed in
the middle of the screen. Before flying and before
changing any settings, always confirm the model
name.
When a new model is added, the Model Type select
screen and Frequency setup screen automatically
appear. Change, or check that they match the swash
type and receiver type of the model used.
2. Model type and swash type selection
If a different 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 helicopter.
*The Model Type function automatically selects the
appropriate output channels, control functions, and mixing
functions for the chosen model type. Six swash types are
available for helicopters.
*For a description of the swash type selection, refer to the
MODEL TYPE function, p.61-62.
Helicopter basic setting procedure
This section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T8FGS. Adjust the actual values,
etc. to match the fuselage used.
3. Flight condition addition
The transmitter offers up to five flight conditions
per model.
The Condition Select function automatically
allocates five conditions for helicopters.
(Initial setting)
● NORMAL
● IDLE UP1 (SW-E)
● IDLE UP2 (SW-E)
● IDLE UP3 (SW-F)
●HOLD (Hold switch is not assigned initially)
Note: Since you may accidentally activate
a condition that not previously setup during
flight which could cause a crash, we suggest
deleting conditions that are not used.
*For a description of the condition deletion, refer to the
Condition Select function, p.80.
The NORMAL condition is always on, and
remains on until other conditions are activated by
switches.
The priority is throttle hold/idle up 3/idle up
2/idle up 1/normal. Throttle hold has the highest
priority.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for
each channel and condition. 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: (Operate at SW-E center)
Use in 540º stall turn, loop, rolling stall turn, and other
maneuvers.
● Idle up 2: (Operate at SW-E forward side)
Use in rolls.
● Throttle hold: (Operate at SW-G forward side)
Use in auto rotation.
