Default RE: Futaba 8 FG Programming Guide

cpeisher: I just picked up my 8FG yesterday. Now that I can do some hands on stuff, maybe I can be of help. I am familiar with Futaba equipment, but not this particular Tx. double check my answers.

The limits, travel, and end points question: After playing with my TX, RX and a servo, here's my conclusion. Not sure if its totally right but...

The limit point sets the end point for servo motion. The travel point relates to usable stick movement.
Example. Limit set at 50%, Travel set at 100%. move the stick to 50%, the servo moves to 50%. Move the stick to 100%, the servo does not move any more.
Example. Limit set at 50%. Travel set at 50%. move the stick to 50%, servo moves to 25% (50% of limit set point). Move the stick to 100%, the servo moves to 50% (100% of limit set point).

I think I would always set the travel to equal the limit if the limit is less than 100%.

Pg 61 of the manual doesn't really help with real world results of these settings.
