Futaba 10C BUGS, Do not Buy!!
Hi guys
I recommend you do not buy this Tx with a lot of BUGS inside.
There is another bug with 10C, instead to have the draw of the helicopter on the main screen change it for THR/PIT.
ILLUST: displays the illustration of helicopter in the home screen. (default)
THR/PIT: displays the current throttle and pitch position in the home screen. p37 of manual
When you move the pitch stick the % of PIT on the little right square follows the same trajectory. For example if you have 60% on the pitch curve with the stick centered you will see the same value on the same screen. If you have 5% on the pitch curve in IDLE1 with the THR/PIT stick centered you will see 5% on the main screen, thats´s ok ?
But the problem is for THR, because when you move the stick or change the mode to IDLE1/IDLE2/HOLD the value for THR on the left little case is always the same does not change when we move the stick, yes it changes but does not correspond to the THR values of the curve
who is the responsible of that?

Ya we get it. You've cross-posted this all over....
Obviously you think this "bug" isn't cool. But it is irresponsible of you to tell people not to buy this excellent product based on "one bug" that you have found that is yet to be substantiated or addressed by Futaba.
So just chill out.

It is is another BUG from Futaba but they want to hide this error to their customers like the BUG of the MODE 4 that is nor mentioned in its own page [:@]

This isn't a "bug". It's how the Futaba design team and their consultants (all championship fliers) determined how the display should be. We can forward his concerns to Futaba to see what they think.
The Mode 4 Trim bug was fixed with a software update. Anyone who wants it fixed can just send their transmitter to us, as we stated in the alarmist thread also made by the original poster of this thread.
Nobody "lied". Ever.

I never saw a software program without a bug. Would you like to guess how many there are in Windows XP or Vista? I have no idea how many there are, but both had a extensive service packs issued to fix bugs. I bet you can't get a straight answer from MS. Still everyone uses Windows.

Futaba, or rather Hobbico, doesn't have a reputation for lying, Bax.

Stop looking at your tx when your flying. You should keep your eye's on the choppper at all times. Here I thought it was something alarming...and thought it was a joke.

With that kind of impossible standards, you'd better quit flying altogether - especially helicopters! After all, every helicopter I've ever seen suffers from vibration and we all know that leads to equipment failure, and is a far greater danger than this "bug".
