Thank you for purchasing a Futaba digital proportional
radio control set.
Please read this manual carefully before using your set.
FEATURES OF FP-5NLH
The FP-5NLH for helicopters is an FM proportional radio con-
trol set for helicopters with an ergonomic case crested as a
result of the exhaustive pursuit of easier operation. Newly de-
signed sticks for smooth and positive operation, servo revers-
ing switches for a l l channels, aileron and elevator AST (Ad-
justable Servo Throw), pitch control trim, idle up, and other
innovations based on the opinions of many RC modelers.
TRANSMITTER FP-T5NLH
• Reliability substantially improved by using industrial robots to as-
semble the PC board.
• Servo reversing switch for each channel. Servos are reversed by using
this switch
• Aileron and elevator AST (Adjustable Servo Throw). Servo throw can
be set as desired.
• Easy-to-adjust two knob type revolution mixing. Throttle pitch con-
trol rudder mixing.
• Pitch control trimmer. Approximately 30% of the pitch control servo
throw can be trimmed, this allows optimum pitch control of the
model.
• Throttle hold switch and trimmer for auto rotation.
• This allows the Rotor r.p.m. to maintained at an effective control
speed, even when the pitch is reduced, allowing maneuvers which
were impossible in the past to be performed.
• Newly designed open gimbal sticks operate smoothly and reliably.
Spring tension mechanism allows adjustment of the operating feel of
the stick lever.
• Nonslip adjustable lever head allows adjustment of the stick length as
desired.
• Throttle ATL. Adjustable throttle limiter type throttle trim. As the
high side does not change even when the trim is altered, it is very
convenient when connecting the linkage, etc.
• RF PC board module system.
• Functional case, created as a result of the exhaustive pursuit of easier
operation, has evolved a thick case which fits into the palm of the
hand.
• Square level meter at the transmitter indicates the power supply
voltage.
• Excellent radiation efficiency, strong 8-stage telescoping antenna.
• Neck strap bracket provided as standard. Operation is easier if the
transmitter is hung from your neck by using the optional neck strap.
• Built-in NiCad battery.
RECEIVER FP-R107N
• Compact, high performance FM 7-channel receiver with PC board
space reduced to a minimum.
•Special IF amp for radio communications improves the effective
receiving range stability.
• Narrow band ceramic filter improves rejection of adjacent channel
interference.
• Futaba original squelch circuit reduces erroneous operation by weak
signals (when passing a dead point, etc.) and erroneous operation by
natural noise when no signals are being received.
• Large capacitor copes with voltage changes when a battery is used.
• Vibration-resistant pin connectors.
• Fiberglass epoxy PC board with thru-the-hole plating is vibration and
shock resistant.
SERVO FP-S130
SMALL, RUGGED, HIGH NEUTRAL SERVO
• Small, double ball bearing, water-tight & dusttight servo. High output
torque 55.6 oz-in (4kg-cm), high-speed 0.24sec/60°
• New indirect drive potentiometer improves vibration and shock resist-
ance and neutral accuracy.
• Futaba low-power custom 1C provides extremely high torque, narrow
dead band, and superior tracking.
• Fiberglass reinforced PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) injection
molded servo case is mechanically strong and invulnerable to glow
fuel.
• Strong polyacetal resin ultra-precision servo gear features smooth
operation, positive neutral, and very little backlash.
• Fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin PC board with thru-the-hole plating
improves servo amp vibration and shock resistance.
• Three pin connector eliminates faulty contact and improves reliability
against vibration and shock. Housing has a reverse insertion preven-
tion mechanism.
• Special grommet simplifies mounting of the servo and has an excel-
lent cushioning effect.
• Six special adjustable splined horns.
