Futaba 14-MZ owner's manual: Dual Rate setting

Dual Rate setting

Up to 6 dual rates can be set for each condition. *D/R (Dual Rate) is set for each condition, and is not reflected at other conditions. *D/R (Dual Rate) at the top of the D/R list has priority.

Setting method

• Touch the [D/R] button from the AFR (D/R) screen of the function (ailerons, elevators, etc.) whose dual rate you want to set. The D/R list screen shown below is displayed. Touch the (function) button of the dual rate number to be assigned. That rate is automatically assigned to that function.
• Next, select the switch and its ON/OFF directions.

Close

• At the end of each setting, touch the [Close] button.

Prog. Mixes

Program mixing which can be freely customized. Up to 10 mixings can be used for each condition. [All model types]

Programmable mixing may be used to correct undesired tendencies of the aircraft, and it may also be used for unusual control configurations. Mixing means that the motion of a command channel, called the "master," is added to the motion of the mixed channel, called "slave."

You may choose to have the Masters trim added to the Slave channel response, if you desire ("Trim" setting). The mixing curve can be changed so that the undesired tendencies can be corrected effectively by setting the LINEAR1/LINEAR2/EXP1/EXP2/VTR/LINE/SPLINE modes. The Delay function can be programmed for each rate. The Delay is used to change the rate smoothly when switching. You may define Mixing ON/OFF switch, control or you may choose to have mixing remaining on all the time.

Offset-type mixing applies a fixed offset or preset to the programmed channel servo operation and may control up to four circuits simultaneously. The Programmable mixing includes a powerful link function, which allows Programmable mixing to be linked with the special mixing functions, or with other programmable mixing functions. The link function can be set up for Master and Slave channel individually.

The slave channel AFR mode (STK-STK mode) may be selected, where the slave channel AFR and D/R settings are observed when Link function is set. The knob for fine tuning can be set up for every mixing circuit. (Fine tune function)

Butterfly [Corresponding model type]: Glider, 2 ailerons or more

This function allows powerful brake operation by simultaneously raising the left and right ailerons and lowering the flaps (camber flap, brake flap).

This setting will allow the ailerons to be raised while the flaps are simultaneously lowered. Butterfly (Crow) produces an extremely efficient landing configuration by accomplishing the following:

1. Slow the aircraft's velocity.
2. Provide washout at the wing tips to reduce the tendency to tip stall.
3. Create more lift toward the center of the wing allowing it to fly at a slower speed

• Mixing during flight can be turned ON/OFF by setting a switch. (Always ON at NULL setting)
• The butterfly operation reference point can be offset. When the Offset button is touched when operated to the position to be changed, the reference point is offset. If the reference point is offset too much, unexpected operation may be performed.

Trim Mix 1/2 [Corresponding model type]: Glider, 2 ailerons or more

These functions call the ailerons, elevators, and flaps (camber flaps, brake flaps) trim offset rates preset according to the flight state.

The amount of ailerons, elevator, and flaps (camber flap, brake flap) trim offset can be set to a switch.

As an example Trim Mix 1 can be set up for launching, with speed flaps and ailerons dropped, and a slight amount of up elevator. Trim mix 2 can be used for high speed flying, with both ailerons and speed flaps reflexed slightly, and a bit of down elevator.

The trim functions can be activated during flight by setting a switch. To prevent sudden trim changes when switching flight conditions, a delay can be set to provide a smooth transition between the two. Trim Mix 2 will have priority over Trim Mix 1.

Example

1. Touch the ACT button and set the trim mix function to [ON]. *When separating the settings for each condition, touch the group mode button and set it to [Sngl].
2. Select the ON/OFF switch.
