Futaba 12FG replacement TX battery pack
 

Hey Guy's
Need some help, I'm looking to replace the NI-MH battery pack for the 12FG transmitter, with a LI-PO pack. Has anyone out there replaced the pack before.
Also I'm trying to set the Dual Rate switch, it a 3 position switch for dual rate, but I can only set 2 of the 3, is a condiction needed to set the 3 position.

Thanks

Jarvis, here is the info from the Futaba RC support FAQs for the 12FG and triple rates.

Radio System FAQ
How do I setup Triple Rates on my 12FG?

To set up dual rates, go to Dual Rate screen in the Model menu. Go to Function in the center of the page and select the control surface you want to set up. Scroll to the Status and select On of Off.

Next scroll over to the right hand side of the page and choose the switch you want the rates assigned to. You will want to go into the On/Off selection screen and assign the position you want your lower rate set to.

Now back out to the Model menu screen again and go into the AFR screen. With the switch you selected in the UP position, your AFR will most likely be set to 100%. If you want or need it set lower, do so now. Next flip the switch that you assigned your Dual Rate to and reset the rates to the amount you want your lower rate set to.

Now you have your AFR's position as full throw, bottom is low throw or dual rates on that control surface.

Then go back to the Dual Rate menu and select D/R 2 and activate it and simply set this third rate the same as you did above.

Now you have your AFR's position as full throw, bottom is low throw or dual rates on that control surface.

By following this for your other surfaces, Ailerons, Elevators and Rudder, you can have triple rates all on one Condition.
