Changing Modes (TX SETTING): Hold down MODE and END keys while turning on the transmitter to enter the TX SETTING menu. Stick Mode: The screen reads "STK-MODE". Use the DIAL to change this to the correct mode. Note that this will NOT change the throttle and elevator rachets, etc. Those are mechanical changes that must be done by a service center. Throttle Reverse: THR-REV is a special function that reverses the entire throttle control, including moving the trim functionality to the stick’s upper half.
RADIO INSTALLATION Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery. • Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and “keys” into the corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead.
IMPORTANT: Since the 2.4GHz have different characteristics than that of the conventional 27MHz and 72MHz frequencies, please read this section carefully to maximize your enjoyment of the 2.4GHz system. 5HFHLYHU V $QWHQQD ,QVWDOODWLRQ

PARAMETER submenu: sets those parameters you would likely set once, and then not disturb again. Once you have selected the correct model you wish to work with, the next step is setting up the proper parameters for this VSHFL¿F PRGHO • What is the model's type? • What type is the receiver’s modulation [2.4G-10CH or 2.4G-7CH]? • Does the model have a normal throttle on channel 3 or do you need full range trim on channel 3 (ATL)? • (GLID only): The separate THR-REV settings for each model can be set.
MODEL TYPE: sets the type of programming used for this model. The T10CG has 15 model memories, which can each support: •one powered aircraft (ACRO PHPRU\ W\SH ZLWK PXOWLSOH ZLQJ DQG WDLO FRQ¿JXUDWLRQV 6HH WZLQ DLOHURQ VHUYRV WZLQ elevator servos, ELEVON, and V-TAIL for further information.); WKUHH JOLGHU ZLQJ W\SHV DJDLQ ZLWK PXOWLSOH WDLO FRQ¿JXUDWLRQV 6HH *OLGHU MODEL TYPE for details, p. 78; •eight helicopter swashplate types, including CCPM. See Helicopter MODEL TYPE for details, p.
Modulation select (MODUL): sets the type of modulation transmitted. The modulation of your receiver will determine whether you utilize 2.4G-10CH or 2.4G-7CH setting in MODUL during transmission. Note that you have to turn your transmitter off and back on before a modulation change becomes effective. Be sure you understand and set the FailSafe (F/S ) settings as you intended (see p. 50). 2.4G-10CH 7CH = FASST-2.4GHz system (10CH PRGH 7CH mode) Adjustability: • 2.4G-10CH setting for all Futaba FASST-2.
Second aileron (AILE-2) (ACRO GLID 1A+1F GLID 2A+1F only): changes the default choice for dual aileron servos from channels 6 (FLAPERON) to channels 5 and 6 or channels 3 and 6 (GLID 1A+1F only), or 7 (AIL-DIF ) to channels 5 and 7. NOTE: Changing AILE-2 only tells the system which servos to utilize if FLAPERON or AIL-DIF is activated. You still must activate that function and complete its setup. For details on twin aileron servos, including using AILE-2, see p. 55.
Home screen display mode selection (HOME-DISP) (HELI only): selects the display item in the home screen for HELI. ILLUST mode ILLUST: displays the illustration of helicopter in the home screen. (default) THR/PIT: displays the current throttle and pitch position in the home screen. THR/PIT mode GOAL of EXAMPLE: STEPS: INPUTS: Change the display mode from ILLUST to O p e n B A S I C m e n u , t h e n o p e n for 1 second. (If ADVANCE, THR/PIT. PARAMETER submenu. C to PARAMETER.
Logic switch selection (LOGIC SW): The various functions in the T10CG can be selected by switch. The Logic switch can be assigned to the following functions: THR-CUT, IDLE DOWN, AUX-CH, TIMER, PROG. MIX, AIRBRAKE, ELEV-FLAP, and AILEFLAP functions. The logic switch can activate functions by two switches combinations. It is also possible to select from 2 types of logic, either AND or OR, can be selected. Adjustability: • Three logic switches can be used.
End Point of servo travel adjustment (END POINT, also called EPA): the most flexible version of travel adjustment available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo that affects both directions. Again, for CCPM helicopters, be sure to see SWASH AFR (see p. 95) prior to adjusting end points. Adjustability: • Can set each direction independently. • Ranges from 0% (no servo movement at all) to 140%.
Engine idle management: IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT: functions which work with the digital THROTTLE TRIM to provide a simple, consistent means of engine operation. No more fussing with getting trim in just the right spot for landings or takeoffs! For additional engine adjustments, see THROTTLE-NEEDLE (p. 65) and THROTTLE DELAY (p. 66). IDLE-DOWN (ACRO only): lowers the engine idle for: sitting on the runway prior to take off, stalls and spins, and landings.
Throttle cut (THR-CUT) (ACRO HELI SURYLGHV DQ HDV\ ZD\ WR VWRS WKH HQJLQH E\ ÀLSSLQJ D VZLWFK ZLWK THROTTLE STICK at idle). The movement is largest at idle and disappears at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. In HELI, there is an additional setting, THR-HOLD. See p. 99. The switch's location and direction must be chosen.
'XDO WULSOH UDWHV DQG H[SRQHQWLDO D/R,EXP): assigns adjusted rates and exponential. Dual/Triple Rates: UHGXFH LQFUHDVH WKH VHUYR WUDYHO E\ IOLSSLQJ D VZLWFK RU (ACRO GLID) they can be engaged by any stick position. Dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, not just a single (ex: channel 1) servo.

If the time is exceeded, it continues to count below 0. • Count up timer: starts at 0 and displays the elapsed time up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
Auxiliary channel function (including channel 9-10 controls)(AUX-CH GH¿QHV WKH UHODWLRQVKLS EHWZHHQ WKH WUDQVPLWWHU controls and the receiver output for channels 5-10. Also, the CH9-10 POSI are used to change the CH9-10 servo direction. Note that the CH9-10 functions are only visible in the AUX-CH screen when 2.4H-10CH modulation is selected. Channels 8-10 are not supported in 2.4G-7CH modulation.
TRAINER: for training novice pilots with optional trainer cord connecting 2 transmitters. The instructor has several levels of controllability. Adjustability: • NORM: When the TRAINER SWITCH is ON, the channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student. The set channel is controlled according to any programming set at the student's transmitter.
TRIM submenu: resets and adjust effectiveness of digital trims. The 10CG has digital trims which are different from conventional mechanical trim sliders. Each TRIM LEVER is actually a two-directional switch. Each time the TRIM LEVER is pressed, the trim is changed a selected amount. When you hold the TRIM LEVER, the trim speed increases. The current trim position is graphically displayed on the start up screen. The TRIM submenu includes two functions that are used to manage the trim options.
SUB-TRIM: makes small changes or corrections to the neutral position of each servo. Range is -120 to +120, with 0 setting, the default, being no SUB-TRIM. We recommend that you center the digital trims before making SUB-TRIM changes, and that you try to keep all of the SUB-TRIM values as small as possible. Larger SUB-TRIM values affect the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
FailSafe (loss of clean signal and low receiver battery) submenu (F/S): sets responses in case of loss of signal or low Rx battery. FailSafe (F/S): instructs a 2.4G receiver what to do in the event radio interference is received. Adjustability: • Each channel may be set independently. (2.4G-7CH mode: ch3 only) • The NOR (normal) setting holds the servo in its last commanded position. • The F/S (FailSafe) function moves each servo to a predetermined position.
ACRO ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS: Aircraft wing types (ACRO GLID): There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft models: • Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail. This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming. • Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. see Twin Aileron Servos. • Tail-less model (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and pitch control.

The ailerons FDQ QRW EH PRYHG OLNH ÀDSV ZKHQ XVLQJ AILE-DIFF, except if using AIRBRAKE (see p. 63.
Using Twin Aileron Servos, AILE-2 (ACRO GLID ): AILE-2 only tells the radio that you are using CH5 and CH6 (FLAPERON), or CH5 and CH7 (AIL-DIFF), not CH6 or CH7, as the second servo in FLAPERON or AILEDIFF. You still must activate and set up the FLAPERON AILE-DIFF function. Note that selecting CH6&5 or CH7&5 does NOT free up CH6 or CH7 to be used for other functions when using a receiver with more than 5 channels. Both 5 and 6 (FLAPERON AILE-DIFF) are dedicated to the FLAPERON or AILE-DIFF programming.
Aircraft tail types (ACRO GLID): There are 4 basic tail types in aircraft models: • Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). This is the default. • Dual Elevator servos. Model uses 2 elevator servos. see AILVATOR (ACRO) see p. 57. • Tail-less model. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. see ELEVON(ACRO GLID 1A+1F). see p. 56. • V-TAIL. Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control.
Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO): Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. (Flying wings without a separate aileron control use ELEVON. V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL, p. 58.) %HQH¿WV • Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel. • Ease of assembly, not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.
Using V-TAIL (ACRO GLID): V-TAIL mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel can be adjusted independently on each surface. NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON or AILEVATOR functions. If one of these functions is active, an error message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. See the wing example on page 51.

MIXES: the backbone of nearly every function Mixes are special programs within the radio that command one or more channels to act together with input from only one source, such as a stick, slider or knob. There are a variety of types of mixes. Types: • Linear: Most mixes are linear. A 100% linear mix tells the slave servo to do exactly what the master servo is doing, using 100% of the slave channel’s range to do so.

GYA gyro mixing GYA series gyros: GYA series gyros are a high performance, compact, and light weight AVCS gyro developed for model airplane. Integrated sensor and control circuit make it easy to mount. • GYA350: for airplane aileron, elevator, or rudder. • GYA351: for airplane ailerons, especially two servos such as when using FLAPERON. • GYA352: for airplane aileron, elevator, or rudder control. Two of these surfaces (axis) can be controlled by GYA352.

Aileron differential functions may be set to provide separate rates per condition selected. Prior to setting up OFFSET, you must activate the conditions and assign the switches in the CONDITION/FUNCTION. Unnecessary fuselage motion is generated when there are sudden changes in the servo position.
START DELAY (GLID 1A+1F only): START DELAY automatically switches the offset trims (OFFSET) from the START condition's trims to the normal condition's trims after the delay time (max.10sec.). This delay time set by the -dly- item when activating the START condition. (It is convenient for hand launch glider.) NOTE: The same delay amount for elevator and rudder is recommended when using V-tail function. Adjustability: • Delay time (-dly-) range of 0 to 100%. The delay time is 10 second at 100%.

The features that are identical refer back to the ACRO chapter. The Helicopter BASIC menu includes the normal condition's throttle and collective pitch curves and revo. mixing. Idle-ups and throttle hold are advanced features and are in the ADVANCE menu. HELICOPTER FUNCTIONS..........................................
GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC HELICOPTER This guideline is intended to help you set up a basic (H-1) heli, to get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction on how to do even more with this powerful system than you may have already considered.

HELI-SPECIFIC ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS THR-HOLD: This function holds the engine in the idling position and disengages it from the THROTTLE STICK when SWITCH E (10CHG) or G (10CAG) is moved. It is commonly used to practice auto-rotation. Prior to setting up THR-HOLD, hook up the throttle linkage so that the carburetor is opened fully at high throttle, then use the digital trim to adjust the engine idle position.
THR-CURVE and PIT-CURVE: These 7-point curves are utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent load on the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, idle-up 2, and idle-up 3. In addition, a separate collective pitch curve is available for throttle hold.
Revo. mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the clockwise direction when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite. Change the operating direction setting by changing the signs of the numbers in the curve from plus (+) to minus (-) and vice-versa. Suggested defaults: Clockwise rotation: -20, -10, 0, +10, +20% from low throttle to high. Counterclockwise rotation: +20, +10, 0, -10, -20% from low throttle to high.
OFFSET: Optional separate trims in addition to those for the normal condition.

DELAY: The Delay function provides a smooth transition between the trim positions whenever OFFSET, REVO. MIXING, or THROTTLE HOLD functions are turned on and off. Adjustability: • Separate delay times are available for aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, and pitch. • With a 50% delay setting, the servo takes about a half-second to move to its new position...quite a long time.
