Need Help with Futaba 8FG Super

[Tseres]

Could not find a 4 aileron setting. There is a 4 aileron and 2 flapps setting. I gues one can use it for the ailerons and just not use the flaps. Didn't think of this before.

I was messing with mine today and noticed that I didn't have a control or trim set up for aileron 2 (in a two aileron config) it still trims and controls with whatever is assigned to aileron 1. I was pretty sure my Ultimate was like this too with 4 ailerons set-up

This book is for the 14SG. In airplane mode, Telemetry and servo slow is the only difference between the 2 radios.

The only thing I see "bad" about the antenna setup is that the little exposed ends are the sensitive part and it is good to go ahead and cover them too so they are protected.

Today was my last chance for this week to get the plane going. It was doing fine for the first 5 minutes. Then we brought it down and let My friend Jamie fly it. He stayed up high but had a complete lockout on top of an Avelanch. That was the first time that happenned. Got controll back after he hit the kill switch. After long discussions We decided that the antenna needs to be moved. I will try that after the IMAC Worlds is over. I'll be there helping out whit what needs help. I'll probably get to moving the receiver on Sunday.

Here is the new antenna location. Might have a chance to try it out on Tuesday.



I was told not to cover up the tip of the antennas. I let them stick out of the tube.

Looks good, never cover the exposed part that's a number one rule in the manual

 

[AEROSHELDON]

I don't have the rx manual but the 18MZ manual that has the rx info says nothing about that rule. In fact I was specifically told by a Futaba rep that those ends are sensitive to damage and need to be covered.



It is a bummer that there is conflicting info on this.

I always cover mine also. I got the same info as Sheldon.

I put mine inside short lengths of pushrod tubing.
