JayCee Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 After trying to decide between the 8FG and the 10CG finally decided on the 10CG Trying to set up my first plane, basic ACRO but I require two separate channels for the ailerons rather than a 'Y' lead on channel one so that I can use 'Sub Trim' The manual states that channel 5 & 6 are already set up but I cant seem to get it to work! Any help would be appreciated! JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultymate Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 JayCee you want your ailerons in channels 1 and 6 and enable flapperons to get your setup working. These may help you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCee Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks Ultymate, great help. Looking at the videos there appears to be two ways of activating the 2nd servo on the ailerons. By activating 'Flaperons' or just selecting the channels you want to use. Quite a box of tricks, steep learning curve after my old 6EX JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultymate Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've had mine for a couple of years now great bit of kit, as you say there are more ways than one of skinning this rabbit but I usually go the 1&6 route and activate flapperons but as you say you can do it as a straight mix.

JayCee Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Just one more question, I have gone the 'Flapperon' route as you suggested, easier and works fine. But does the Tx automatically assign a 'Flap' switch? don't want to hit a switch by mistake and find my ailerons are now flaps JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultymate Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 JC on all my models that don't get used with flaps at the bottom of the "Flapperon screen" I have FLP2 set at +100% and FLP1 set at -100% this gives me just aileron function and no flaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom clarke Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 hi lads, sorry to jump in here but does anyone know how to set an opto kill switch on the futaba 10c, using a 6014 rx?? works perfectly on my 7ch transmitter and rx but refuses to function on any channel of the 10c and 6014 rx head melting trying to do this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultymate Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Tom the 14 channel system uses a lower signal voltage 3V I think to the servos and some opto kill switches will not work without a signal booster These can be had from Emcotec or Hobby King do them a lot cheaper now. Some servos will also not work without signal boosters, here's a LINK to the HK ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.A. Barry Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Has anyone got any thoughts on the above??? Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Barry, I don't have a CG10, but I suspect that the position 1 is really the center position so adjusting the end travel won't change this. What you need to do is offset the center position so that position 1 gives you the correct throw or alternativelly if the tx has servo curves then adjust the servo curve to get the correct travel in each position. I would have thought the CG10 has both of these options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A. Barry Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Frank, thanks for your input, I have searched the menu,and if there is those functions in the Tx, I can not find them. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A. Barry Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Frank, you were almost correct, I contacted Futaba Support and they set me straight:- Move the switch to centre poss. adjust the lingage to the angle you want, then move switch to off and ajust that position of the flaps by that end point, move to full and adjust that position to the required level by that end point easy when you know how, it should be in the manual thanks Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Glad you've got it sorted, but I'm surprised the CG10 doesn't give you the option to adjust the servo center position so you can utilise the full throw of the servo if required.

A.A. Barry Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thx, I have the 8fg super as well, which does have that, but I'm not that cluey on using it yet, the 10GC is much easier to program ... for me Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Downs Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi all, I have a 10CG and am having trouble setting the f/s...I can get into the F/S menu easily enough which as I have only 7 channel recievers only allows for the 3 options NORM F/S When I high light F/s there is a fiqure of 85% shown below but I do not seem able to highlight this number to reduce it...When it is on F/S by the way and I switch off the tranny it goes to full bore.... any ideas please Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I've only just "discovered" the failsafe function on my 10CG. When you're in the F/S menu, and you've selected F/S, you then can only set the throttle when you're using a 7-channel receiver. You do this by holding down the menu dial with the throttle stick in whatever position you want to be its F/S position. With mine, putting the throttle to zero resulted in the F/S setting showing 15%, instead of 0% which I expected. But anyway, when I checked it by switching off my trannie with the receiver still switched on, the model's throttle went to zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
