Combine all this with a comprehensive array of functions and the usual high Futaba quality, and the T14SG is the perfect transmitter for all demanding pilots. The re-designed transmitter Case is now larger, lies comfortably in the hands, and provides a control layout of outstanding ergonomic efficiency. The large, centrally positioned, high-resolution, backlit 128 x 64 dot graphic screen ensures good legibility in all light conditions. The graphic user interface, with the renowned simple Futaba menu structure, makes the unit very simple to operate. The menu system can be displayed in any of 9 languages. •The unit's clean, elegant lines are made possible by the new Cap-Touch system. Zero-contact sensors acting as a 3D hot-key allow a smooth, sealed surface without any projecting controls. Experience the new sensation of control using the special precision dual-axis stick units, with digital trims and trim value memory. The side-mounted rotary controls provide a practical means of operating auxiliary functions without taking your fingers from the sticks.

These mixer menus are pre-programmed to suit the model type, and contain all the essential mixer functions as standard. •5 freely assignable and switchable Dual Rate / Expo settings. •5 free programmable mixers, linear or with 5-point curve, per model memory, optionally with / without trims and offset mixer. •5-point throttle curve •Speed adjustment for throttle servo •Aileron differential •Spoiler mixer (flaperon) •Elevator - spoiler mixer (flaperon) •Rudder-aileron mixer •Rudder-elevator mixer •Snap-roll mixer •Mixture adjustment •Gyro settings •Motor mixer, for 2-step motor switching, with separate speed settings for steps 1 /2 as well as forwards and backwards. Glider functions Comprehensive mixer menus are also available for model gliders, including those with up to 8 wing-mounted servos. Optionally with or without motor. In addition to the choice of wing type, the user can select from the following tail variants: normal, separate elevators with aileron function (ailvator) and V-tail. Flying wings with 2 ... 8 wing-mounted servos can also be selected. These mixer menus are pre-programmed to suit the model type, and contain all the essential mixer functions as standard. •5 flight modes per model memory, with priority allocation and variable transition delay.

Heli functions The helicopter mixer menus differentiate themselves primarily in the swashplate control. All the classic linkage types are included as standard: H1, H2, HR3, HN3, H4 and the new H3 90° and H3 140° A special feature is the new form of variable pushrod travel compensation for the H3 and H4 types. This function eliminates a common problem involving unequal travels, which can result in servo damage in the long-term when travels are fairly large or asymmetrical. The speed of the pitch-axis (elevator) function can also be adjusted, in order to avoid synchronisation problems with the HR3 / HN3 120° swashplate linkage. •5 freely programmable linear mixers or 5-point curves per model memory, optionally with / without trim and offset mixer. •Swashplate mixer •Swashplate ring mixer •5-point collective pitch curve, normal, idle-up 1, 2, 3, auto-rotation.

With logical switch function. •Mixture adjustment •Gyro mixer (tail rotor) with 3 rates and fine trim adjustment •Gyro mixer (swashplate) with 3 rates and fine trim adjustment •Speed governor with 3 rates and fine trim adjustment New update for T14SG V 3.0 Changes In the current sensor telemetry menu the capacity limit is now pre-set to 4000 mAh. In the rpm sensor telemetry menu the adjustment range for the gearbox reduction ratio is expanded to 1 - 99. Sensor data for "RX-BATT", "EXT-Volt" and signal quality are displayed directly, i.e. the values are not stored. This means that the transmitter immediately displays a value of 0.0 V when the receiver is switched off. All other sensor data (e.g. GPS co-ordinates) are stored. New functions The "SBUS servo" now has the additional function O.L.P. Overload Load Protection (current overload guard). O.L.P. means Overload Protection. If this function is programmed the servo electronics switch off the motor if it is overloaded before damage is caused. If the overload situation passes, the electronics switch the motor back on again immediately. All SV and SVi servo types are suitable for this function (see also the summary list in the Download area). In the menu "Tele. settings" the function Telemetry Log has been added. This can be used to save the telemetry data on the SD card. The data for all control channels 1 - 12 and up to 32 telemetry channels are stored (depending on the number of sensors in use). The Futaba File System Utility V3 can be used to convert the data into a CSV file, and then read out using a PC. Programs such as Excel can be used to display the control signal and sensor data in tabular or graphic form. Wireless Trainer function with S.BUS receivers. This function enables any robbe-Futaba S.BUS receiver to be used as a "wireless Trainer system", whether it is an S-FHSS, FASST or FASSTest receiver. Of course, the S.BUS receiver to be used must operate on the same modulation as the Pupil transmitter, and must be bound to it. The signal and power are supplied via the S-BUS Trainer lead (No. F1263) from the Trainer socket. All other settings are entered in the Trainer menu at the Teacher transmitter in the usual way. This forms a simple method of setting up a wireless Trainer system which operates with all modes of modulation. At the same time the channel count is increased to max. sixteen channels, depending on the type of modulation. Safety function: If the Pupil transmitter is switched off, the software automatically switches to the Teacher transmitter's control signal.
