FUTABA Magnum Sport FP-2P - TRANSMITTER OPERATION; Servo Reversing Switches; Throttle Neutral Adjustment; Transmitter Controls Overview

The servo reversing switches are assumed to be in the normal
position in the descriptions in this section. When the servo
switches are in the reverse position, operation is the opposite
of that described here.

When set to © , the full deflection angle is 40°.
When set to © , the throttle throw is 27° and the
brake deflection angle is 13°.
When set to @) , the throttle and brake (reverse)
throws are both 20°.
ə For engine cars, position @ is recommended.

with reverse mechanism and position @ is recommended when
equipped with a brake and forward only.

©) Throttle neutral adjuster
This adjuster sets the throttle trigger neutral point as de-
scribed in (2) throttle trigger. Set it to the point at which it
stops with a click with a screwdriver, coin, etc.

(Ò Power switch
When set in the direction of the 4 mark (upper position),
the switch is turned on and the pointer of the level meter
deflects.
() Level meter
When the power switch is set to ON, the level meter
pointer
should

the
silver
zone.
If
the
pointer
stops
near
the
boundary
between
the
silver
and
red
zones, the battery is low, and the range of the radiowaves
will be short. When the level meter pointer drops to the
boundary between the silver and red zones, change the
battery.
(2 Antenna
95cm antenna. It screws in vertically as shown in Fig. 8.
Remove from
the holder and
screw in vertically.
(3 Battery cover
When loading (or changing) the eight penlight batteries,
remove this cover as shown in Fig. 2.
(@ Transmitter crystal
When changing the frequency, replace this crystal. Use the
AM crystal set (transmit and receive 1 pair) sold by Futaba.
The transmitter crystal is marked TX and the receiver
crystal is marked RX. However, you are not allowed to
change frequency by merely replacing crystal on both 72
and 75MHz.
