Futaba 7CAP question
 

I have a question on my new 7CAP. The system timer at the bottom right on the LCD display has the H constantly blinking, is that normal? I couldn't find anything really about it in the instructions. I assume the H means hour, is that correct? Thanks.

Futaba cleverly failed to put anything in the manua explaining it. It is a cumulative timer for transmitter use. When blinking you can press the dial to reset it to zero. See the Futaba web site FAQs for info.

Dave, thanks for the reply, it seems like the manual left a few things out, but it seems like a nice radio. I can get it to zero out and start counting again, but the H contiuously blinks. It's just sort of annoying, like having 12:00 constantly blinking on your VCR! Thanks again.

beware of a programing glitch on this radio, if you set the throttle set point for the timer, it can zero out your right aileron travel end point. I crashed my plane on take off because of this problem. Just verify your aileron travel after setting the timer to the throttle stick, and you should be ok.

Thanks for the heads up on the programming glitch, I didn't read that thread until after I had already bought the radio. It seems like Futaba would take care of this quickly! I checked my radio and it indeed zero out my right aileron. I will just be leaving the timer alone and use the one that clips on my belt! Thanks again.
