Flying Precautions
WARNING
Never grasp the built-in transmitter antenna
while flying.
Never fly on a rainy day, when the wind is
strong or at night.
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 turn the power switch off during flight
or while the engine or motor is running.
■ In the dedicated range test range check mode, the
transmitter output range is reduced and may cause a
crash.
Do not start the engine or motor while wearing
the neck strap.
■ The transmitter output may drop drastically.
Never fly in range check mode.
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.
■ Water could lead to failure or improper functionality
and poor control of the aircraft which could lead to a
crash.
■ 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.
■ The neck strap may become entangled with the rotating propeller, rotor, etc. and cause 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 FET amp
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.
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:
1. Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to
the minimum (idle) position.
2. 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):
1. Turn off the receiver power switch.
2. 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.
■ Maximum low throttle: Direction in which the engine
or motor runs at the slowest speed or stops.
When adjusting the transmitter, stop the
engine except when necessary. In the case of a
motor, disconnect the wiring and don't allow 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 may
cause a serious injury.

TRIM
There are four trim levers (“trims”) on the front of
the transmitter. These trims are for adjusting the
neutral position of the aileron, elevator and rudder
servos and for setting the idle r.p.m. of the engine
when the throttle stick is all the way down. The
intended use of the trims is to make small servo
adjustments, in flight, to get the model properly
“trimmed” (so it will fly straight-and-level).
Simply push or pull on the trim levers while flying
and the neutral position of the servos will shift.
Keep in mind that you should start out with the
control surfaces centered when the servos are
centered and the trims are “zeroed” (or near zero).

by connecting the T6L Sport-2.4GHz to the instructor’s Futaba transmitter.
To utilize the trainer function, the appropriate trainer cord (available
separately) and a second Futaba transmitter (usually provided by your flight
instructor or R/C club) will be required. When two radios are connected
with the trainer cord, they are both capable of operating the model, but it's
usually best for the instructor to hold the radio that has been setup for the
plane to be flown (as it is already programmed to fly the model). When the
instructor holds the trainer switch on his radio, the student will have control.
When the instructor wishes to regain control he simply releases the switch.
Then he will have immediate, full control.
Power application isn't done from teacher's transmitter. Student's T6L Sport
also turns on a power supply.

LINK PROCEDURE
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 with 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 receivers, this
procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work.
1 Place the transmitter and the receiver
Less than 20 inches
close to each other within 20 inches (half
meter).
2 To activate the "Link Mode".

3 Immediately turn on the receiver power.
The receiver will enter the linking state
(LED blinks red) about 3 seconds after
the receiver power is turned on.
Enters the link mode
for 15 seconds

In "Link" Mode
4 The LED changed from red to a steady green light, linking is complete.
(A linking process is ended in 15 seconds.)
5 Check system operation. If the transmitter and receiver are not linked, try linking again.
*If there are many T-FHSS Air systems turned on in close
proximity, your receiver might have difficulty establishing a link
to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence. However, should
another T-FHSS Air transmitter/receiver be linking at the same
time, your receiver could link to the wrong transmitter. This is
very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to
avoid the problem,we strongly recommend you double check
whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter.
* The R3106GF uses the T-FHSS Air (Mono directional) system
so if used with another T-FHSS Air transmitter, then the ID of
the R3106GF receiver will not be shown on the transmitter's display. A "NO LINK" indication or the ID of a previously linked
T-FHSS Air receiver will be shown. Nevertheless, if the LED
on the R3106GF displays a steady green light it is linked with a
transmitter. (Telemetry can not be used on the R3106GF.)
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.
Don't perform the linking procedure
with motor's main wire connected or
with the engine operating as it may
result in serious injury.
17
POWER DOWN MODE
A range check must be performed before the first flight of a new model. It is not necessary to do
a range check before every flight (but is not a bad idea to perform a range check before the first
flight of each day). A range check is the final opportunity to reveal any radio malfunctions, and to
be certain the system has adequate operational range.
We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T6L Sport in order to perform an
operational ground range check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the
operational range of the T6L Sport.
To activate the power down mode and perform a range check:
1 To activate the "Power Down Mode"
Transmitter in
"Power down Mode"
Transmitter LED blinking
Once 0.5s ON - Once 0.5s OFF
Keep the throttle stick
low. If the throttle stick
is up, power down mode
will stop.
Operate both sticks fully in the
bottom and the inside, in the
power off state.
Enters the link mode
for 90 seconds
Turn on the power switch.
2 With the "Power Down Mode" activated, walk away from
the model while simultaneously operating the controls.
(Keep the throttle stick low.) Have an assistant stand by the
model and signal what the controls are doing to confirm
that they operate correctly. You should be able to walk
approximately 10m (33ft) from the model without losing
control.
3 If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set
walk approximately
10m (33ft)
In "Power Down" Mode
keep the throttle stick
low.
the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible location so it will be
within reach after starting the engine. Be certain the throttle stick is all the way down, then start the engine. Perform another range check with your
assistant holding the plane and the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter
or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. Do not fly the plane! Look for loose servo
connections or binding pushrods. Also be certain that the battery has been fully charged.
4 NEVER start flying in the Power Down mode. To be safe, cycle the power off then back on
when ready to fly.
DANGER
NEVER start flying when the "Power Down Mode" is
active.
*Control is impossible and your model will crash.
18
SERVO REVERSING
The servo reverse switches are used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control
input from the transmitter (each stick). After using the reversing function, check all the controls
on the model to be certain they are operating in the correct direction and that you did not
inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong servo (and not
checking the response of the controls before each flight) may be the most common cause of a
crash!
*Note that the direction of the aileron servo is easily mistaken.

ELEVON MIXING
Intended for tailless, “flying wing” models such as delta
wings and flying wings, elevon mixing mixes channel
1 (aileron) to channel 2 (elevator) allowing the elevons
to operate in unison (as elevators) or in opposition (as
ailerons). This function requires that each elevon be
operated by a separate servo.
* If necessary, use the Servo Reversing function to
achieve the correct direction of servo throws.

FLAPERON MIXING
The ability to use separate servos to function in the
same movement direction to control the flap deflection
and to work in opposing directions as ailerons is known
as flaperons. Again, this function allows the ailerons
to be used both as ailerons and as flaps. Flap control
is assigned to Channel 6, the proportional Dial on the
front of the transmitter. As such, if flaps are desired,
Channel 6 must be used as the additional aileron/flap
channel. Ailerons are controlled, of course, by the
aileron stick accordingly.
*If necessary, use the Servo Reversing
function to achieve the correct
direction of the servo throws.

MOUNTING THE RECEIVER 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 muffler.
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.
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.
