FUTABA –F5J

Latest version: Link

SA = Motor On/Off This switch arms the motor.

SB = Motor speed: High –Mid –Low This switch selects between 3 different motor speeds.

LS = Variable thermal setting in condition Thermal Adjustable thermal setting.

SH = Extra thermal setting (not variable) in condition Thermal 2 (non-returning switch) A fixed thermal setting.

SC = Select Condition: Distance <–> Cruise <-> Thermal Select Flight Condition.

SF = Motor speed: Turbo*) (spring-loading returning switch) Turbo is for max motor speed.

*)Optional

(I have changed the physical position between SF and SH switches, see last page.)

SF = Turbo

INFO

Basic settings is the settings in the radio before adjusting the values for your selected glider (model).

Settings –New Model is the adjustments to be done on a new glider based on the basic settings.

Start by selecting ‘Model Type’ in the Linkage menu. When changing model type, all settings will be lost.

Mixer info:

INH = Mixer function is not activated.

OFF = Mixer function is activated, but it is off.

ON = Mixer function is activated, and it is on.

Group = ‘Gr’i.e. = ‘Group’: The mix settings are for all flight conditions (default).

Group = ‘Sngl’i.e. = ‘Single’: The mix settings are only for the selected flight condition.

When Group = ‘Gr’, all the flight conditions will have the same mix settings as the selected flight condition.

When Group = ‘Sngl’ the selected flight condition will have it’s own separate mix settings.

16sz, 18sz: When settings for the mix is ‘Gr’ all flight conditions have the same mix settings.

18mz, 32mz: When settings for the mix is ‘Gr’, only selected flight conditions have the same mix settings.

(which means some flight conditions can have the same mix settings ‘Gr’,

and the other flight condition can have individual mix settings ‘Sngl’.)

Use the Servo monitor menu to see the values for the output channels.

Linkage –Servo reverse: Motor output is often reversed due to the ESC (Motor controller).

Flight Conditions (example):

MOTOR CONTROL

Switch SA (= 3 pos switch) arms the motor control.

SA = ”up” or ”middle” = motor off.

SA = ”down” = motor on:

SB = ”up” = high speed.

SB = ”middle” = cruising speed.

SB = ”down” = low speed.

SF on = Turbo speed. (Option: Additional function for motor speed)

GLIDER –AFR

Menu 2: Set Function = Motor

Set GROUP = ‘Grp’

Set Rate A = Rate B = 0

Set Offset = -125 (Off) equals pulse width = 995 us.

For F5J height meter:

pulse width <1200 us for motor off.

Additional for Altis height meter:

pulse width <1000 us for emergency_on function.

Set flight condition = ‘MOTOR ON’.

Set GROUP = ‘Sngl’ (In flight condition ‘MOTOR ON’.)

Set Point: Pos Rate

-100 -65 (Low)equals pulse width = 1250 us.

For F5J meter:

pulse width >1200 us for motor on.

0 -15 (Mid)

+100 +70 (High)(Change to +100, when no optional Turbo speed.)

Example:

Low = The modelplane stays floating (no sinking/climbing).

Mid = Set the modelplane to a 10 m/s climb.

Max = Max horizontal speed.

Low and high speed needs to be adjusted depending on used ESC/Motor combination.

(Don’t set the ESC to ’Auto’, use programmed min/max positions,

min = 1250 us, max = 1900 us, brake <1250 us)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Trim T5 as global elevator trim: (missing on 16SZ, use T3 instead):

Trim T2 is used ”as usual” for elevator trim, i.e. it sets elevator trim separate for every flight condition.

Trim T5 is used, at the same time, and adjusts the elevator trim for all (wanted) flight conditions.

This trim T5 is useful to set the elevator neutral position (when flying) for all flight conditions at the same time.

It is still possible to adjust every flight condition individually with trim T2.

Elevator Trim = T5 + T2
