IV. Basic Model/Radio Setup
The setup shown is for a Mode II radio system however it will apply to any style radio
A)
Initial Setup for servo centering
Plug in all servos according to manufacturer’s channel assignments. It is not necessary to connect the throttle channel
at this time.
For Futaba FASST, the following are the default assignments (your system may vary)
•
Ch1 = Aileron
Ch4 = Pitch
•
Ch2 = Elevator
Ch5 = Gyro
•
Ch3 = Throttle
Ch6 = Rudder
In your radio, set the model type for helicopter and set the swash type as 120° CCPM. Check the radio manual to find
the correct swashplate setting and channel arrangement (For Futaba this is SR-3/HR-3).

At this point in the setup you don’t need to power up the ESC but only the receiver and servos. If you are using a
separate Rx battery, plug it into the receiver and proceed. If you are only using an ESC with a BEC for Rx power, don’t
connect the ESC to the motor when you power up for this step.
