<Introduction>
NiMH/NiCd Battery
Charge the batteries! (See Charging the NiCd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the transmitter
and receiver batteries before each ying session. A low battery will soon die potentially, causing loss
of control and a crash. When you begin your ying session, reset your T14SG’s built-in timer, and
during the session pay attention to the duration of usage.
Stop ying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low
battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always
check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each ight.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs
and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model
Aeronautics.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500
chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and insured
newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-free phone number below.

NiMH/NiCd Battery Safety and Handling instructions
IMPORTANT!
Use only the Futaba special charger included with this set or other chargers approved by Futaba to
charge the NiMH batteries in the T14SG transmitter included with this set.
It is important to understand the operating characteristics of NiMH/NiCd batteries.Always read the
specications printed on the label of your NiMH/NiCd battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow
the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its
surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to disassemble NiMH/NiCd packs or cells.
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
Always provide adequate ventilation around NiMH/NiCd batteries during charge, discharge, while in
use, and during storage.
Do not leave a NiMH/NiCd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge NiMH/NiCd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for NiMH/NiCd
batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge NiMH/NiCd batteries in a reproof location. Do not charge or discharge NiMH/NiCd
batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/
C model or full-sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or re alarm.
Do not charge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C”
equals the rated capacity of the battery).
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees
Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a reproof location.
NiMH/NiCd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes
excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which
has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged
in any way.
Do not use a NiMH/NiCd battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully
inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring
and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash
affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery
in a re-proof location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open ame or heater.
Do not discharge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the
battery.
Always store NiMH/NiCd cells/packs in a secure location away from children.
Never remove the SD card or turn off power
while entering data.
Never store the SD card where it may be
subject to strong static electricity or magnetic
elds.
Do not expose the SD card to direct sunlight,
excessive humidity or corrosive environments.
Do not expose the SD card to dirt, moisture,
water or uids of any kind.
Always hold the SD card by the edges during
installation and removal.
Be certain to insert the SD card in the correct
direction.

<Introduction>
At the ying eld
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper
sequence:
1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
3. Conrm the proper model memory has been selected.
4. Turn on your receiver power.
5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to y until you determine the cause of
the problem.
Test to ensure that the FailSafe settings are correct after adjusting them. Turn the transmitter off and
conrm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.
6. Start your engine.
7. Complete a full range check.
8. After ying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm
your motor/engine.
9. Turn off receiver power.
10. Turn off transmitter power.
If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces,
flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may
unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.
While you are getting ready to y, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the
wind won't tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing
the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all
times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested. Doing so may
result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model.
Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during ight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the
radio frequency transmission.
As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides
of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your
ying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation.
Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick
openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a
contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if
lightning is expected.

Receiver's Antenna Installation
The R7008SB 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
y problem-free.
Antenna
*Must be kept as straight as possible.
Coaxial cable
R7008SB Receiver
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 ying
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.
*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
*The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration,
shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing
materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the
bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver,
you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable
points. Periodically check the cable during daily
maintenance.
Fasten about 5-10cm
from the servo outlet so
that the lead wire is neat.
Margin in the lead wire.
Mounting the power switch
When mounting a power switch to an airframe,
make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than
the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn
the switch ON/OFF without binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be
covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is
recommended to mount the power switch on the
side of the fuselage that is opposite the mufer.
Safety precautions when you install
receiver and servos
Warning
Connecting connectors
Be sure to insert the connector until it
stops at the deepest point.
How to protect the receiver from vibration
and water
Wrap the receiver with something soft
such as foam rubber to avoid vibration.
If there is a chance of getting wet, put the
receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to
avoid water.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not
bind the receiver's antenna with the cables
for servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as
possible from metals or carbon fiber
components such as frames, cables, etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the
radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a
crash.
Servo throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods will
not bind or sag when operating the servos
to the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, the
servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train
and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as
rubber grommet) under a servo when
mounting the servo on a servo mount. And
be sure that the servo cases do not touch
directly to the metal parts such as servo
mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration
will travel to and possibly damage the servo.

S.BUS/S.BUS2 Installation
This set uses the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system. The wiring is as simplied and clean mounting as possible, even
with models that use a large number of servos. In addition, the wings can be quickly installed to the fuselage
without any erroneous wiring by the use of only one simple wire, even when there are a large number of
servos used.
●When using S.BUS/S.BUS2, special settings and mixes in your transmitter may be unnecessary.
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos memorize the number of channels themselves. (Settable with the T14SG)
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 system and conventional system (receiver conventional CH used) can be mixed.
