Futaba 7CAP/7CHP Instruction Manual Addendum

Following are corrections to the Futaba instruction manual. Replace the instructions, notes and charts in the Futaba

manual as indicated below. The best way would be to photocopy both sides of this addendum, then cut and paste the

notes and charts directly into the instruction manual.

Page 13

Replace the note under the chart on the bottom of the page with the following note:

On the 7CA transmitters, the Top Left Switches are spring-loaded switch and 2-position switch. On the 7CH transmitters, the

Top Left Switch is a 3-position with the spring loaded switch on the top right.

1. Cross out the statement next to the diagram of the computer screen near the top of the page that reads:

(Ex: utilizing 2 channels for 2 rudder servos. See mixes, p. 53.)

2. Insert the following chart.

Go to channel 5 switch assignment.

Change to D.

GOAL of EXAMPLE STEPS INPUTS

Set up dial rates and exponential in

ACRO mode.

Open D/R, EXP.

Choose channel and switch position.

Set rate (Ex: high rate = 95%)

Set expo (Ex: expo = -15%).

Go to 2nd switch position and set rate

(Ex: low rate = 70%).

Set 2nd exp (Ex: expo = -3%)

Optional: If using a 3-position switch,

set 3rd rate.

Close.

Replace the chart on page 44 with the chart below:

FLAP-TRIM allows the flap action to be set in a way that it can be adjusted with the VR dial.

Airbrake will also move the flaps to a specified position via movement of a switch. The flaps

can also be moved with switch using a programmable mix. See offset as master, p. 53.

1. Add the diagram of the computer screen below to the "TH-CRV" diagram in the manual:

2. Add the diagram of the computer screen below to the "PI-CRV" diagram in the manual:

Set up dual rates and exponential in

HELI mode.

Note: In HELI mode the switch does

not change the rate being adjusted.

Change switch channel and switch

position with mode button.

Open D/R, EXP.

Choose channel and switch position.

Set rate (Ex: high rate = 95%)

Set expo (Ex: expo = -15%).

to desired channel and switch position.

to 95%.

to -15%.

GOAL of EXAMPLE STEPS INPUTS

Add FLAP-TRIM to allow the

model's ailerons to drop 30% together

as flaps from the VR dial.

The FLAPERON function must be

active with the second servo set to

CH6.

Open FLAP-TRIM.

Set the dial to desired zero flap side.

Set the OFS so that the flap will work

for the full range of the dial.

Set the dial to desired full flap side.

Set flap throw (Ex: 30%).

Close.

for 1 second. (If BASIC again.)

to FLAP-TRIM.

GOAL of EXAMPLE STEPS INPUTS

The function is automatically activated with the FLAPERON.
