51 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns 1 model to the FX-32
transmitter. The Model Select function of the
Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select
models which are already set.
The data for up to 30 models can be saved
to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the
optional SD card.
The currently selected model name is displayed
at the top 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 System/Receiver ID setup screen
automatically appear. Please be aware that the
transmitter will stop transmitting when you change
the model.
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the aircraft
with the Model Type select function of the Linkage
Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from
among the 2 types: airplane and glider. After the
wing type is selected the tail type select screen
is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the
aircraft.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for
airplane and glider.
Airplane/glider basic setting procedure
3. Fuselage linkage
Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder,
etc. in accordance with the model's instruction
manual. For a description of the connection
method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.
Note: The channel assignment of the FX-32 is
different from that of our existing systems. Note
that even for the same "airplane model", when the
wing type and tail type are different, the channel
assignment may be different. (The channel assigned
to each function can be checked at the Function
menu of the Linkage Menu.)
● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust
the direction with the Reverse function of the
Linkage Menu.
● Adjust the neutral position and control surface
angle with the linkage, and fine tune them
with the Sub Trim and End Point functions
(angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a
limit position can also be set with the End Point
function. The End Point function can adjust the
amount of up/down and left/right movement,
limit, and servo speed of each channel.
4. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by
a switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function
of the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle
cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the
throttle position so that the carburetor becomes
fully closed. For safety, the throttle cut function
operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow
side) position.
