Futaba Super 7 Question
I have a Futaba 7UAFS (old super 7) with a 7 ch. reciever mounted in a Combat Gremlin. The Gremlin is a flying wing with no
elevator or rudder. I have been flying this plane with this radio for years. Today I took it out to charge up the batteries and I notice
the Elevon mixing is not working. So I check to make sure I have it set for the correct model and I do. Then I pull out the old instruction manual and try to reprogram it. Normaly I'm pretty good with this stuff but, man I just can't get it to work right again.
According to the instructions channel 1 is Aileron, Ch 2 is Elevator and Ch 3 should be Throttle. What's screwing me up is my Throttle is on ch 2 and my Elevator is on ch 3. What's up with that?? Why are they backwards?? Have any of you guys ran across this?? I can't figure out how to switch the two back, so I can get the elevon function working. Any words of wisdom out there?
Thanks

RE: Futaba Super 7 Question
Hi Tbanister,
It sounds as though you are in Mode 1 instead of the normal Mode 2.
Try holding downt he two Mode Select Keys ( + and -) at the same time, while powering the transmitter on. You should see a screen that says STCK 1, you will want to press the + key once until the display says STCK 2.
This should take care of your problems.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,
