[. . . ] Before using your 6YG, read this manual carefully and use your R/C set safely. See the glossary page 22 for a definition of the special terms used in this manual. This product may be used for model airplane or surface use if on the correct frequency. Exportation precautions (a) When this product is exported from Japan, its use is to be approved by the Radio Law of the country of destination. [. . . ] As the throttle stick is moved up towards the high throttle position, the throttle trim will have less effect. Carrying handle: Provides an easy means of transporting the transmitter. Neck strap hook: Only clip the neck strap to this hook when neck strap use is required. Servo reversing switches: Switches that reverse the direction of operation of the servos. The transmitter and receiver nicad batteries can be charged simultaneously or independently. Connect the charger transmitter connector to the transmitter charging jack and the charger receiver connector to the receiver servo nicad battery. At the end of charging, disconnect the charger from the AC outlet. -12- Receiver R127DF/R147F Antenna Crystal "7": Not Used (CH7) "6": Flap servo (CH6) "5": Gear servo (CH5) "4": Rudder servo (CH4) "3": Throttle servo (CH3) "2": Elevator servo (CH2) "1": Aileron servo (CH1) "B" Battery Connector Crystal: The crystal is installed at the side of the receiver. Servo S3003 Servo wheel Mounting flange To receiver Accessories: The following items are supplied with the set: -Spare servo horns: Use to match the application. -Servo mounting parts: Rubber grommets, etc. -13- Transmitter Operation and Movement of Each Servo Before making any adjustments, learn the operation of the transmitter and the movement of each servo. (In the following descriptions, the transmitter is assumed to be in the operating state. ) Aileron Operation When the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right aileron is raised and the left aileron is lowered, relative to the direction of flight, and the plane turns to the right. When the aileron stick is moved to the left, the ailerons move in the opposite direction. To level the plane, the aileron stick must be moved in the opposite direction. When the aileron stick is moved and held, the plane will roll. Right Stick Elevator Operation When the elevator stick is pulled back, the tail elevator is raised and the tail of the plane is forced down, the air flow applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is increased, and the plane climbs (UP operation). When the elevator stick is pushed forward, the elevator is lowered, the tail of the plane is forced up, the air flow applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is decreased, and the plane dives (DOWN operation). Left Stick Right Stick Throttle Operation When the throttle stick is pulled back (low throttle), the engine throttle lever arm moves to the SLOW (low speed) side. When the throttle stick is pushed forward (full throttle), the throttle lever arm moves to the HIGH (high speed) side. Left Stick Right Stick Rudder Operation When the rudder stick is moved to the right, the rudder moves to the right and the nose moves to the right, relative to the direction of flight. When the rudder stick is moved to the left, the rudder moves to the left and the nose moves to the left. Left Stick -14- INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT This section describes the installation and adjustment of the receiver, servos, etc. Connection Example ·Four servos are supplied as standard. -15- (Connector Connection) Insert the receiver, servo, and battery connectors fully and firmly. (Receiver Vibration proofing / Waterproofing) Vibration proof the receiver and battery by wrapping them in sponge rubber or some such material. If the receiver may get wet, waterproof them separately by placing them in plastic bags or balloons. If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration and shock, or gets wet, it may operate erroneously and cause a crash. Cutting or bundling the receiver antenna will lower the receiver sensitivity and shorten the flight range and cause a crash. Antenna installation: For aircraft, attach the antenna to the top of the tail. (Servo Throw) Operate each servo over its full stroke and adjust the linkages so that the pushrod does not bind or is not too loose. Unreasonable force applied to the servo horn will adversely affect the servo and drain the battery quickly. [. . . ] To use it, the special trainer cord TC-FM (FUTM4410 USA only - sold separately) is necessary. The special trainer cord can be connected to SKYSPORT4, SKYSPORT6, 7U series, 8U series, and PCM1024Z series transmitters. Never turn on the student transmitter power switch. Set the student and instructor transmitter functions and trims to the same settings. For example, if the direction of operation is reversed, control will be lost and the plane will crash. [. . . ]
