Robert Baker Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hello. I need to upgrade my radio outfit to a Futaba J10, - I fly - Mode 2 . Can this Tx. be changed from mode 1 to mode 2 with the Throttle Ratchet ? - ( Throttle Left ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Donald Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think it can but I have not done it myself. I checked the book and the ratchet mechanism needs to be physically moved to the other stick. It claims this needs to be done by a Futaba service centre but they always say that and you can probably do it yourself fairly easily. I think I took the ratchet out of mine because I use it to fly helicopters but it was a few years ago. From memory you need to take the back off and unscrew a small metal ratchet plate and move it over. You can then go to the software to re-calibrate the sticks.

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Looking at page 23 it looks like most futaba radios, it is a spring and ratchet change over pretty simple 'if' you have done it before, don't forget to take the battery out before taking it to bits.

Denis Watkins Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 All correct Then with the transmitter OFF Hold down the plus and minus buttons simultaneously and switch On Select STK-ADJ-NEXT This menu allows you to set Mode 2 electronically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 When the shop changed my Tx (6EX) I noticed that they carefully looped some thread around the 'eye' of the spring which pulled it off without letting it fly into some corner of the Tx or the shop. Same replacing it the other side. Worth trying that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
