User manual FUTABA FP-3PB

[. . . ] · Large 20m/m diameter coreless motor features high torque near neutral and exact tracking of even minute rudder movements. · Indirect drive system extends the life of the potentiometer substantially. · Watertight/dustproof. 1 Besides the FP-S24, FP-S27, watertight servo is available with this system. Receiver FP-R3F ·Miniature type, light, weight, rugged construction. This I/C is extremely stable against power supply voltage fluctuations. [. . . ] . The accessory neck band hooks to this hook. Neutral Lever Operation Conversion from Self-Neutral System to ratchet System Install the slide plate. Twist with needle nose pliers, etc. Remove the spring and swing arm. The stick lever neutral position can be adjusted in 5 steps by moving the lever as shown in the figure. Fig. 3 ·OPENING THE TRANSMITTER REAR COVER AND LOADING THE PENLIGHT BATTERIES 4 · Remove the rear cover of the transmitter as shown in Fig. If the meter pointer does not move, or moves very little, check for poor battery contact, incorrect battery polarity, or faulty batteries. · When the meter pointer enters the red zone, the range of the radio waves will become short. Change the batteries when the meter pointer drops to the boundary between the red and green zones. This lever can also be used to adjust the neutral position and the flight posture after the mechanism has been mounted. However, after test flight, all adjustments should be made with the rod adjusters, etc. and the lever handle should be left in the neutral position as much as possible. · The throttle stick neutral position can be selected in 5 steps by moving the neutral lever as shown in Fig. ·With the NiCd system FP-T3EG, recharge the battery as shown in Fig. · Also use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the servo and switch leads. ·After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then make the transmitter antenna as short as possible, extend the receiver antenna fully, and operate the set from a distance of 22 to 33 yards (20 to 30m) for range check. The movement of each servo should follow the operation of each stick of the transmitter. 6 ·THROTTLE -> RUDDER MIXING ADJUSTMENT The rudder neutral position at engine SLOW and engine HIGH depends on the engine torque. When adjusted for straight ahead when a common 2-cycle glow plug engine is at HIGH, the boat will slowly swerve to the left at SLOW and if adjusted for straight ahead when the engine is at SLOW, the boat. Mixing from throttle to rudder, the biggest feature of the Model FP-3PB, completely eliminates this tendency. The following description is for a common 2cycle glow plug engine that rotates counterclockwise. Reverse the description for a gasoline You should now have a good understanding of throttle to rudder mixing. Throttle -> rudder mixing will be called "MIX" hereafter. 3 engine, electric motor, etc. that rotates clockwise. This mixing is adjusted with the mixing trimmer and limit point trimmer at the left front of the transmitter. Mixing trimmer 6 adjusts the amount and direction of movement of the rudder servo when the throttle stick is moved up and down. Limit point trimmer 7 changes the point at which the operating line of the mixing amount to the rudder servo curves when the throttle stick is moved from LOW to HIGH. 1 When the throttle stick is set to HIGH, a boat moving straight at engine control SLOW will swerve to the right. [. . . ] A Adjust the rudder trimmer so that the boat travels straight ahead at throttle HIGH. If the boat swerves to the right at this time, the MIX amount is excessive. If the boat slowly swerves to the left, the MIX amount is insufficient. Increase the MIX amount by turning the MIX trimmer in the R direction. [. . . ]
