mikef Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Can't help with the Futaba question but please remove the prop while you are trying to programme - just in case it starts unexpectedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary B Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Good stuff, not sure if you will be able to add to this thread when you've finished? Does Futaba use a setup file system? Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to include a step-by-step guide in their manuals, but that has disappeared for more recently introduced models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not turned the model on yet. When I get to that stage it may need some adjusting done. Adrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThermalBoy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi Congrats on buying what I and many others consider to be one of the very best Tx's for glider use, particularly for all carbon F5J gliders and the like. If you want to know everything about this radio this will be the best £6.00 you will ever spend. This book explains everything you need to know in a way that is easy to follow/understand. There's a step by step guide on how to set-up a F5J type glider along with many other real world "How To's". Futaba should have employed Malcolm to write the manual for the 16SZ/18SZ as its everything the Futaba Manual(s) aren't. He also has written a manual for ther 14SG Futaba Tx as well. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Futaba-18SZ-Programming-Fixed-Aircraft-ebook/dp/B078HYQYKN/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Futaba+16SZ&qid=1577968155&sr=8-1 Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian18sz Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi. I have spoken with Magnus and he has sent me a somewhat different set up for F5J/F3J models using the Futaba18sz. I am going to post what he gave / send me a couple of days ago. Futaba 18SZ - Settings - F5J.pdf perfection elevator neutral.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian18sz Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Photo. Pike Perfection V-Tail F5J Fuselage. It had just arrived from Samba Models.
