RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

It is my understanding that Futaba writes the manuals. It is not up to their distributors to do so. So the folks at Hobbico largely have their hands tied. They can do videos, etc. But I do not think...

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

To be perfectly accurate, Hobbico recognized the issue. Hobbico is the North American distributor. Futaba itself has not made any such statement. So while Hobbico may agree and want to change it they...

Sherman did a great job on that, and I know him personally and I can tell you that he spent a fair bit of time on it.

I'm still liking the idea of finding a place to post know set ups for...

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

True, and I think where it fails is that in many cases it does not tell you what the feature is used for or how to use it. Many features can be used in multiple ways as well.

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

I think this is a great idea. People could then download the set up they think will work for them and see how it is set up. Pretty soon they will be whizzing along on their own and posting their set...

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

Don has not been doing much of anything in modeling for some time. He is teaching full time at Cal Poly-Pomona and that keeps him busy.

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

The issue is that Futaba writes the manuals and they are not known for their flexibility. Not an optimal situation to be sure, but it is what it is. Hobbico does give feedback to Futaba, but they...

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide

When telling Futaba they should be ashamed keep in mind that nobody from Futaba actually monitors these forums. Hobbico/Hobby Services people do an d they are NOT Futaba. They are employees of the...

RE: Futaba 12 FG Dummies Guide
