Very smart presentation.....you should be working for futaba tech support, you would be the only one who knows what they are talking about. Thanks for your great efforts.
If you're setting up electric, avoid the "throttle cut" function. It is disabled above about 25% throttle (all the time). It is very unlikely to do anything in flight. The "throttle hold" >> cut works as expected. "Throttle hold" is in the model menu. I can see this clearly in the transmitter setup tab for the Ikon FBL wizard.
hi im batteling with my heli to stablize it ,i using a spirit 2 system and what do i set my rudder gyro 2 and to i set gyro on my allirons and elivator to stablize it ,can you help me with a flying set up please
Hi Robert I observed that the sd card comes out from my 18sz if I pull little harder instead of press and pop. Is that normal ? Is it ok? or the card slot is having some defect? Although press and pop also works while taking out the card. Please let me know.
Hi, regarding the Throttle curve in idle up mode, your settings shows to have a flat cure in idle mode. My question is with that Throttle flat curve is it possible to fly the heli 3D / upside down. Thanks.
Benoy Thomas for helicopters that are not using governors, it I common to use a “V” shaped throttle curve. This will make sure the RPM of the rotor head stays fairly consistent as you sweep the entire range of collective. For helicopters that use a governor to control rotor head RPM a flat throttle curve is generally used.
I see futaba is sticking with having the right dial and left dial default to ON for hover pitch and throttle trim. Does anyone think this is really a good idea to default to ON? If you want this function you are going to look for it. If you never heard of it before you are going to spend some time trying to figure out why your curves are bent. I know it is in the manual but I spent some time trying to figure out how my 0 pitch got messed up. I know about it now but why wouldn't they default this to INH?
Hi I order the 16sz heli versión and my question is I am using Ikon FBL in one heli and Vbar blue on the other heli how can I set the gain for the tail? I am using now the fut 8 super. Or can I copy the models from the 8 super to the 16sz on a SD card? Thank you in advance.
Jesus Soto for the Vbar setup bank switching and for each bank adjust your gain as desired for that condition. For the Ikon you can have rudder gain on one channel and bank switching on another. See the following video for more info on bank/condition switching control. ua-cam.com/video/IvTK7g6ouuo/v-deo.html I also upgraded from the 8FG. You cannot copy the model memory directly from the 8FG to the 16SZ. I put the two transmitters side by side and copying the config from one to the other.
Hi Marcel. The idle up switch is not turned on by default. To activate it, go to Menu > CONDIT. At IDLE-UP, toggle from option INH to either ON/OFF. On/OFF will depends on where your 3 position switch is positioned. Good luck. Have fun.
Robert [TOG] dual-rate will slow down the rudder speed, expo will make it less sensitive at center stick. You can use dual rate and expo on the rudder. The catch is with dual rate. Lower the dual rate value too much, and the FBL controller may act oddly. You may see this odd behavior with dual rates lower than 50. Also, remember to use negative expo numbers. For example, -20 is less sensitive, 20 would be more sensitive. Lastly, this all assumes we are talking about flying an RC Heli.
You are obviously very knowledgeable about this radio, but you move a little too quickly on the screen for new people to follow you. Please slow down a little in your videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Had to stop/rewind plenty if times to match your settings but it was really helpful. Cheers!
Nice video Montee. Followed your setup. Just waiting on my 760 to get here. I'll work on that this weekend i hope.

Your video helped me a lot, thanks.
Happy to read it helped. If you have other questions, ask away. Happy Flying!!

Benoy Thomas that is the entire point of a flat throttle curve. The motor will not shutoff until I engage the throttle hold switch.
@@monteerm what I know is idle up mode is for 3D with Throttle curve is V shape. Please correct me if i am wrong.

@@monteerm so if Governor in IKON 2 is used, then 3D can't be done. Correct ?

Back in the day when nitro was king, the knobs probed to be helpful, i. e, Futaba 9cap and 10. FBl have made this almost null and void

Hey, thanks for the video. I‘m relatively new in Futaba and have a question: how can I switch my heli from stabilized mode to 3d? I‘ve a T6K V2

what do you use for throttle curves for nitro heli's

Dualrates 20% on rudder? Is that ok?
You mean decreasing your rate a and b ”dual rate” values from 100 to 20 or 80?
@@monteerm for less sensative stick movement. I always thought it was a no go with rudder, but you can?

@@monteerm The expo was what i meant to say. I will try -20%. Thank you for helping.

it would not be better in the castle to leave +30+70+100
-40 does not correspond to 30%
