Default RE: Oh, OH!! problems with Futab 6exap

Your radio has built-in 6 model memory so you can set it up to fly 6 different planes, or 6 different set-ups for one plane if so inclined. When you turn your radio on you have to select which plane you want to fly (if its different from the last one you just flew), so your radio may have been accidentally set for another plane instead of the one your are currently trying to fly. Example - I have 6 different planes that I can fly using one transmitter, in this case a Futaba 7C (My JR 6102 currently is set up for only 2 planes but can have 10 planes programmed into it). . To fly a different plane I have to select that particular model through the menu system on the transmitter, and also select between PPM and PCM (To switch from my School Boy to my King Kobra I have to select the King Kobra, then make sure I switch to PCM.

Check your radio and see what plane you have it set for. I've found it helpful to use the naming function built into the radio to make it easier to identify the specific plane - then all I have to do is remember if the receiver is PPM or PCM [sm=spinnyeyes.gif].
