Futaba 16/18SZ Programming for Fixed Wing Aircraft

Following the very successful 14SG Programming Guide this book follows the same pattern. Packed with over 250 new screenshots, step-by-step guides and helpful tips, it is invaluable to expert and novice alike.
A detailed reference section explains and illustrates the use of each of the transmitter’s features. For ease of cross-reference it mirrors the order of the Futaba manual. Finding information is easy with direct links from the contents pages and the ability to search.
The well-illustrated guides explain “why” rather than just “how”. They provide clear instructions on how to prepare a model for flight. In the process, they should help the novice gain an understanding of the principles behind the programming of these very versatile radios and develop the confidence to explore their more complex features.
In addition to the detailed reference section the appendices cover the following topics :-

Getting started on the Futaba 16SZ/18SZ – Programming a Trainer Aeroplane
Programming a four-servo wing electric glider
A simple two-stage flap setup
Flying wings
Offset mixing – A retractable undercarriage with sequenced doors
Setting up twin I/C engines
Differential engine control of twin-engined models
Rate switches for mixes – extending the use of fine tuners
Logic and symmetry - An example of complex switching
Harmonising twin servos on one control surface
Using the alternate switch feature - A single channel emulator
Custom warnings
Multiple points from 2 switches for mode selection
Bookmarking the telemetry data log

Much of the content is equally applicable to helicopters but please note that those features which relate solely to helicopter programming are not covered.
