Flying Precautions

• Never grasp the transmitter antenna while flying.

  • The transmitter output may drop drastically.

• Always make sure that all transmitter stick movements operate all servos properly in the model prior to flight. Also, make sure that all switches, etc. function properly as well. If there are any difficulties, do not use the system until all inputs are functioning properly.
  Never fly in range check mode.

  • In the dedicated range test range check mode, the transmitter output range is reduced and may cause a crash.

• While operating, never touch the transmitter with, or bring the transmitter near, another transmitter, a cellphone, or other wireless devices.

  • Doing so may cause erroneous operation.

• Do not point the antenna directly toward the aircraft during flight.

  • The antenna is directional and the transmitter output is weakest. (The strength of the radio waves is greatest from the sides of the antenna.)

• Never fly on a rainy day, when the wind is strong, or at night.

  • Water could lead to failure or improper functionality and poor control of the aircraft which could lead to a crash.

• Never turn the power switch off during flight or while the engine or motor is running.

  • Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will crash.

• Even if the power switch is turned on, operation will not begin until transmitter and receiver internal processing is complete.
  Do not start the engine or motor while wearing the neck strap.

  • The neck strap may become entangled with the rotating propeller, rotor, etc. and cause a serious injury.

• Do not fly when you are physically impaired as it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.
  Do not fly at the following places:

  • Near another radio control flying field.
  • Near or above people.
  • Near homes, schools, hospitals or other places where people congregate.
  • Near high voltage lines, high structures, or communication facilities.

• When setting the transmitter on the ground during flight preparations, do not stand it upright.

  • The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and the propeller or rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury.

• Do not touch the engine, motor, or ESC during and immediately after use.

  • These items may become hot during use

• For safety, fly so that the aircraft is visible at all times.

  • Flying behind buildings or other large structures will not only cause you to lose sight of the aircraft, but also degrade the RF link performance and cause loss of control.

• From the standpoint of safety, always set the fail safe function.

  • In particular, normally set the throttle channel to idle. For a helicopter, set the throttle channel to maintain a hover. When flying, always return the transmitter setup screen to the Home screen.
    Erroneous input during flight is extremely dangerous. Always check the remaining capacity of the transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session prior to flight.
    Low battery capacity will cause loss of control and a crash. Always check operation of each control surface and perform a range test before each flying session. Also, when using the trainer function, check the operation of both the teacher and student transmitter.

  • Even one incorrect transmitter setting or aircraft abnormality can cause a crash.

• Before turning on the transmitter:

  • Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to the minimum (idle) position.
    Turn on the transmitter first and then the receiver. When turning off the transmitter’ s power switch after the engine or motor has stopped (state in which it will not rotate again):

  • Turn off the receiver power switch.

  • Then turn off the transmitter power switch.

  • If the power switch is turned on/off in the opposite order, the propeller may rotate unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.

  • Also always observe the above order when setting the fail safe function.

• When adjusting the transmitter, stop the engine except when necessary. In the case of a motor, disconnect the wiring that allows it to continue operation. When doing so, please exercise extreme caution. Ensure that the aircraft is secured and that it will not come into contact with  anything or anyone. Ensure that the motor will not rotate prior to making any adjustments.

  • Unexpected high speed rotation of the engine/motor may cause a serious injury.

When an micro SD card is installed in the T16IZ transmitter, a folder called “Futaba” is created. Folders called “LOG” and “MODEL” are created in this folder. The “MODEL” folder stores the model data and the “LOG” folder stores the telemetry log data.
The telemetry log data recorded on the micro SD card can be converted to CSV format by the telemeter log converter released on our home page. When copying or moving a log file, always select both .FLI and .FLD file.

CAUTION
Be sure to turn off the power to the transmitter before inserting or removing the micro SD card.
As the micro SD card is a precision device, do not use excessive force when inserting.

Receiver’s Antenna Installation

The R7108SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly problem-free

To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions

1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. This is not a critical figure, but the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible. Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.

Home Screen

This is the Home screen and descriptions of its menus. Use your finger to operate the touch screen.

WARNING
Be sure to confirm the model name before flying your aircraft. Check the battery voltage as often as possible and try to charge the battery earlier. If the battery alarm makes a sound, land your aircraft immediately. *You can adjust the LCD contrast by the display setting in the system menu.

Link Procedure (T16IZ/R7108SB)

Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter to which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R7108SB receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work

Link procedure

1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within half (0.5m) meter
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Select [System type] at the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by tapping the screen
4. When you use two receivers on one model, you must change from [Single] to [Dual]. *Only two receivers can be used. In “Dual”, two setting items come out. Input, respectively.
5. Battery fail-safe voltage can be changed from the initial value of 3.8V here. * Only in FASSTest/T-FHSS Mode
6. [Link] is tapped. The transmitter will emit a chime as it starts the linking process
7. When the transmitter starts to chime, power on the receiver. The receiver should link to the transmitter within about 1 second
8. If linking fails, an error message is displayed. Bring the transmitter closer to the receiver and repeat the procedure above from Step 2
9. ACT will be chosen if telemetry is used. It is INH when not using it
10. When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed. If a D/ L interval is increased, the response of the sensor data display becomes slower, but stick response will improve. Initial value: 1.0s Adjustment range: 0.1s~2.0s

• If there are many FASSTest (T-FHSS) systems turned on around your receiver, it might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to double check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response. *Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected or the engine is running.
• When you use two receivers, please be sure to setup a “Rx1” and “Rx2” in the “dual” mode.
• Telemetry function cannot be used for the 2nd receiver. → FASSTest18CH
• Telemetry function cannot be used for the dual receiver. → T-FHSS, FASSTest12CH
• You must link one receiver at a time. If both power supplies to the receivers are switched on simultaneously, data is received incorrectly by the transmitter.
• You cannot link three receivers.
• Link is required when a system type is changed.
• Linking is required whenever a new model is made.
• FASST MULTI/FASST 7CH cannot be selected for Europe.

WARNING
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter.
Do not perform the linking procedure with motor’s main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury

After setting

Model ID FASSTest, T-FHSS
For the sake of safety, this function does not operate the receiver if the model data of the model program settings that does not match the aircraft is used by mistake.

Link is required when a new model is made from a model selection.

• In the system types (FASSTest, T-FHSS) compatible with the model ID function, a unique ID number (model ID) is set to each model data. Linking with a receiver stores the model ID of the model data in that receiver. The receiver operates only when it receives radio waves transmitted using model data that matches the stored model ID. As a result, the receiver does not operate even if model data of an unintended setting is used by mistake, so it is possible to prevent a malfunction due to a model selection mistake.
• If you want to use different model data from the model data that you have been using, link again
• Model ID feature is enabled only if the system type is FASSTest or T-FHSS. Please note that model ID function can not be used on other systems.
• For safety reasons, model ID function can not be disabled.
• Model data that can be stored in internal memory is up to 250 models.
• Model ID is automatically set when copying or adding model data.
• R3004SB receiver does not support model ID function. When using the R3004SB, set “Receiver” in the system type screen T-FHSS mode setting to [R3004SB]. When using other T-FHSS compatible receivers, set “Receiver” to [Normal].

Range Testing Your R/C System

It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The T16IZ transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such an grea check

Range check mode

1. While pushing “U.MENU/MON.” button.
2. Select “Range check” at the System menu.

During this mode, the RF power output is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beeping sound. The “Range check mode” continues for 60 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the “Range check mode” before the 60 seconds, press the “HOME/EXIT” button. NEVER start flying when the “Range check mode” is active. Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time expires and tap the screen one time.

Range check procedure

1. With the “Range check mode” on, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control.
2. If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible, location so it will be within reach after starting the engine or motor. Be certain the throttle stick is in the low throttle position, then start the engine or motor. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. We would strongly suggest you do not fly until the source of the difficulty has been determined. Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged

WARNING
Do not fly in the range check mode. *Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the model is too far from the transmitter, control will be lost and the model will crash

Servo Connection by Model Type

The T16IZ transmitter channels are automatically assigned for optimal combination according to the type selected with the Model type function of the Linkage menu. The channel assignment (initial setting) for each model type is shown below. Connect the receiver and servos to match the type used.
The set channels can be checked at the Function screen of the Linkage menu. The channel assignments can also be changed.
For more information, read the description of the Function menu.

MODEL MENU (Helicopter functions)

• This section contains information on the commands that apply to helicopters only. For instructions on airplane, glider and multicopter, refer to the sections pertaining to those aircraft.
• Use the Model type function in the Linkage menu to select the swash type matched to the fuselage beforehand.
• Also, add flight conditions at the Condition Select screen if necessary before setting the model data at each function. (Up to 8 conditions can be used)
• The AFR function, dual rate function and other functions common to all model types, are described in a separate section

Condition hold
When performing adjustments, such as idling up, when the engine is engaged, keep the throttle stable so as to prevent the engine from revving too high. Once your adjustments are complete, always make sure to set the function to [OFF].

WARNING
For safety reasons, when performing individual adjustments it is recommended that you shut off the engine and disconnect the motor to prevent rotation.
Sudden, abrupt rotation can result in death or serious injury Condition hold ON/OFF operation is possible under normal conditions and the throttle stick is more than 1/3rd into the slow throttle range.
Throttle servos will remain at the throttle stick position during ON operation.

ON/OFF operation on the Home screen
Under the conditions described above, tap the Condition hold [OFF] displayed on the screen.
During function operation, Condition hold will display [ON] and an alarm will sound.
