Elevon. Air only
. Used for delta wing and tailless aircraft which have 2 servos operating 2 aileron-like control
surfaces as both elevator and aileron. Manual P. 84.

Flap-to-elevator mixing
. Air and 2-servo gliders only. Used to counteract unwanted changes in pitch when
flaps are deployed. Manual P. 86.

Fuel mixture control
. Air and Heli only. Used to command a second servo which adjusts the fuel mixture at the
carburetor for different throttle position settings. Addendum P. 9. (P D F to make active, then O F L to adjust.)
FNC
P. 2-5
P B J
Function menu
. Used to assign specific features to specific stick/switch/slider/knobs. For example, flap control can
be moved to a switch by simply changing function assignments. Also, the trims can be assigned to any of channels 1-8
and set to normal or to throttle-style (alt) where trim control affects only below center. Manual P. 45.

Frequency: Channel on which radio transmits. See FRQ. For chart see P. 1-2.
Fuel Mixture Control: See FMC.
Frequency band: In the entire frequency spectrum, transmissions are designated in terms of "frequency bands" which exhibit similar
properties and in the lower region the bands are useful in radio communication. In the US, specific frequencies within the
72MHz band are regulated by the FCC to be used solely for remote control aircraft (including helicopters, blimps, etc.)
50MHz band is available for model use (for air or ground) only by those holding a HAM Amateur radio license. 75MHz is
solely for remote control ground models (boats, cars, robots, etc). 27MHz is legal for air or ground use.
Flaperons
. Air and 2-servo gliders only. Twin aileron servos plugged into separate channels used to control aileron,
with the option to also have the 2 aileron servos act as flaps. Includes aileron differential capability. Manual P. 89.
FailSafe: See F/S.
Flap-to-elevator mixing: See F@E.
Flaperon: See FPN.
FRQ
P. 1-1
Q C I
Frequency
. Used to select 72mHz frequency to use when utilizing the FSS synth module. This option displays only if
FSS was installed prior to 9Z being turned on. (All 9Z models support the FSS module.) Manual P. 35.
F/S
P. 1-6
P B H
FailSafe menu
. Sets servo positions when interference is encountered or signal is lost. Available only in PCM
transmission mode. Also includes Battery FailSafe (BFS) settings. Manual P. 42.
GYR
O D I
Gyro sensitivity
. Heli only. Create stick priority or activate dual rates by stick position. Decreases the gain
directly proportional rudder input (or steps from high to low rate on dual rate gyros.) Manual P. 114.
EXPN: Exponential. See P. 2-2.

GL2: Model type, glider with 2 wing servos. See TYP, and P. 2-1.
GL4: Model type, glider with 4 wing servos. See TYP, and P. 2-1.
GL5: Model type, glider with 5 wing servos. See TYP, and P. 2-1.
Gyro sensitivity: See GYR.
Hel: Model type, rotary wing. See TYP.
Helicopter: Rotary wing model type. See TYP.
High Rate: See AFR.
HOM: Home menu. Returns to home screen. Usually key R in menu screens.
Home: See HOM.
FSS: see TK-FSS.

O C L
Throttle hold
. Heli only. This is a linear mix with an offset. This mix makes the throttle servo non-responsive to stick
position, and moves the throttle to idle. To practice autorotations.
NOTE:
a helicopter model type pre-assigns a
condition specifically for throttle hold; however, it
does not
assign anything to this condition. Besides activating throttle
hold, you will need to create pitch curves for blade inertia to increase during the drop, and sufficient pitch to bring the
helicopter to a hover and land. Manual P. 110.
ETM
O D I
Elevator trim
. 2- and 5-servo gliders only. Two separate offset mixes for the elevator to allow pre-programmed
elevator settings, for example, for thermal hunting, penetrating, gliding, etc. Manual P. 143.
