Unless you’ve been living in a cave with no contact to the outside world it’s a pretty good chance that you’ve heard about the new technology of 2.4 Ghz Spread Spectrum radios. With all of the capabilities of the Spread Spectrum radios it’s pretty easy to understand what all the excitement is about with this new technology. Spread Spectrum radios have all but eliminated interference created by other radios in use at the same time. This means that a Spread Spectrum radio can be operated and will not be interfered with if someone else turns on a radio. No more keeping track of frequency pins, no more walking the flight line trying to find if anybody else is on your frequency, and no more worrying that somebody flying a park flyer 2 blocks from your field will knock your plane out of the air.

With any new technology many will be worried that there are going to be “bugs” with it and will decide to wait before adopting the technology. Often, manufacturers will release a radio and work out the bugs as they come up. But when it comes to 2.4 Ghz technology Futaba is different. All of Futaba’s 2.4 Ghz FASST (Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology) radios are fully tested, well-engineered, totally reliable products. Futaba has hands-on experience with 2.4 Ghz technology that stretches back 15 years, long before anyone considered its value in hobby application. That’s when Futaba’s industrial R/C division – designers of radio-control tools for construction, civil engineering, and similar uses – began employing and perfecting their own 2.4 Ghz equipment. Now Futaba is bringing that experience in 2.4 Ghz Spread Spectrum technology to the RC hobby market to provide us with a fully test and completely reliable product.

To speed development in this technology many radio manufacturers are converting their current radio systems to the 2.4 Ghz Spread Spectrum technology. This speeds up the time it takes them to release radios as they are not reinventing the wheel by developing totally new radio systems. Futaba’s latest release is just that; one of their most popular radios converted to Spread Spectrum. Futaba’s latest release is the 2.4 Ghz Spread Spectrum T7CA, a 7-channel system capable of controlling both aircraft and helicopters. It’s a system that offers much of Futaba’s 9C set-up versatility matched to 4-channel ease of use. It’s a great radio for those flyers who want the technology of 2.4 Ghz but don’t want to spend extra money for a more expensive radio with more channels than they need. I think that the 7C will be a perfect fit radio for a large majority of flyers that need a 2.4 Spread Spectrum radio.

Basic Airplane Menu Functions
Model Sub-menu Model submenu: includes three functions that manage model memory: Model Select, Model Copy, and Model Name. Model Select: This function selects which of the 10 model memories in the transmitter to set up or fly. Model Copy: copies the current model data into another model memory in the transmitter. Model Name: assigns a name to the current model memory.	Dual rate / Exponential Sub-menu Dual/triple rates and exponential (D/R,EXP): assigns adjusted rates and exponential. Dual/Triple Rates:reduce/increase the servo travel by flipping a switch, dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, Exponential:changes the response curve of the servos relative to the stick position to make flying more pleasant.
Endpoint Sub-menu End Point of servo travel adjustment: the most flexible version of travel adjustment available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo that affects both directions.	Sub-Trim Sub-menu Sub-trim: makes small changes or corrections to the neutral position of each servo. Range is -120 to +120, with 0 setting, the default, being no Sub-trim.
Servo Reversing Sub-menu Servo reversing: changes the direction an individual servo responds to a control stick motion.	Trim Sub-menu Trim: resets and adjusts effectiveness of digital trims.
Throttle Cut Sub-menu Throttle cut: provides an easy way to stop the engine by flipping a switch (with Throttle Stick at idle).	Fail Safe Sub-menu Fail Safe (loss of clean signal and low receiver battery) submenu: sets responses in case of loss of signal or low receiver battery.
Parameter Sub-menu Parameter submenu: sets those parameters you would likely set once, and then not disturb again. Model Reset: completely resets all data in the individual model you have currently selected. Model Type: sets the type of programming used for this model, either airplane (acro) or helicopter (heli)	Timer Sub-menu Up/Down Timer functions: controls an electronic clock used to keep track of time remaining in a competition time allowed, flying time on a tank of fuel, amount of time on a battery, etc.
Trainer Sub-menu Trainer: for training novice pilots with optional trainer cord connecting 2 transmitters. The instructor has several levels of controllability.

Advanced Airplane Menu Functions
P-Mixes Sub-menu The 7C contains three separate linear programmable mixes. There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here. To correct bad tendencies of the aircraft (such as rolling in response to rudder input). To automatically correct for a particular action (such as lowering elevator when flaps are lowered). To operate a second channel in response to movement in a first channel (such as increasing the amount of smoke oil in response to more throttle application, but only when the smoke switch is active). To turn off response of a primary control in certain circumstances (such as simulating one engine flaming-out on a twin, or throttle-assisted rudder turns, also with a twin).	Flaperon Sub-menu Flaperon mixing function uses one servo on each of the two ailerons, and uses them for both aileron and flap function. For flap effect, the ailerons raise/lower simultaneously. Of course, aileron function (moving in opposite directions) is also performed.
Flap Trim Sub-menu Flap-trim allows the flap action to be set in a way that it can be adjusted with the VR dial.	Airbrake Sub-menu Airbrake is one function that is really made up of a series of pre-programmed mixes all done for you within the radio. Airbrake simultaneously moves the flap and elevator, and is usually used to make steep descents or to limit increases in airspeed in dives.
Elevator to Flap Mix Sub-menu Elevator to Flap Mix: This mix makes the flaps drop or rise whenever the Elevator stick is moved. It is most commonly used to make tighter pylon turns or squarer corners in maneuvers. In most cases, the flaps droop (are lowered) when up elevator is commanded.	Flap to Elevator Mix Sub-menu Flap To Elevator Mix: This mix makes the elevator move whenever the flaps are moved. This mix is used to compensate for any pitching created by the flap.
V-Tail Sub-menu V-Tail mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. The elevator and rudder travel can be adjusted independently.	Elevon Sub-menu Elevon: used with delta wings, flying wings, and other tailless aircraft that combine aileron and elevator functions, using two servos, one on each elevon.
Ailevator Sub-menu Ailevator: Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in to separate receiver channels. Benefits Ability to adjust each servo’s center and end points for perfectly matched travel. Ease of assembly, not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 servos. Elevators acting also as ailerons for extreme stunt flying or more realistic jet flying. Redundancy, for example in case of a servo failure or mid-air collision.	Aileron to Rudder Mix Sub-menu Aileron to Rudder mixing is a pre-programmed linear mix. This mix is used to mix rudder operation with aileron operation automatically, to make realistic coordinated turns. It is especially effective when turning and banking scale models or large models that resemble full-sized aircraft.
Snap Sub-Menu This function allows you to execute snap rolls by flipping a switch, providing the same input every time. It also removes the need to change dual rates on the 3 channels prior to performing a snap, as Snap-Roll always takes the servos to the same position, regardless of dual rates, inputs held during the snap, etc.

Basic Helicopter Menu Functions
Model Sub-menu Model submenu: includes three functions that manage model memory: Model Select, Model Copy, and Model Name. Model Select: This function selects which of the 10 model memories in the transmitter to set up or fly. Model Copy: copies the current model data into another model memory in the transmitter. Model Name: assigns a name to the current model memory.	Dual rate / Exponential Sub-menu Dual/triple rates and exponential (D/R,EXP): assigns adjusted rates and exponential. Dual/Triple Rates:reduce/increase the servo travel by flipping a switch, dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, Exponential:changes the response curve of the servos relative to the stick position to make flying more pleasant.
Endpoint Sub-menu End Point of servo travel adjustment: the most flexible version of travel adjustment available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo that affects both directions.	Sub-Trim Sub-menu Sub-trim: makes small changes or corrections to the neutral position of each servo. Range is -120 to +120, with 0 setting, the default, being no Sub-trim
Servo Reversing Sub-menu Servo reversing: changes the direction an individual servo responds to a control stick motion.	Trim Sub-menu Trim: resets and adjusts effectiveness of digital trims.
Throttle Cut Sub-menu Throttle cut: provides an easy way to stop the engine by flipping a switch (with Throttle Stick at idle).	Fail Safe Sub-menu Fail Safe (loss of clean signal and low receiver battery) submenu: sets responses in case of loss of signal or low receiver battery.
Parameter Su-menu Parameter submenu: sets those parameters you would likely set once, and then not disturb again. Model Reset: completely resets all data in the individual model you have currently selected. Type: The 7C radios support 6 basic swashplate setups, including “single servo” (H- 1 – most helicopters use this type) and 5 types of CCPM (cyclic and collective pitch mixing). A “single servo” swashplate uses one servo for each axis: aileron, elevator (cyclic pitch), and collective pitch. CCPM helicopters utilize a combination of servos working together to achieve the 3 axes of motion.	Throttle Curve (Normal) Throttle Curve (Normal}: Inputs the normal (NORM) throttle curve, which is usually not a linear response to the throttle stickmotion. The Throttle Curve has 5 separate points of adjustment to allow for finer control of helicopter. .
Pitch Curve (Normal) Pitch Curve (Normal): inputs the normal (NORM) collective pitch curve, the collective pitch curve for flight near hover. The Pitch Curve has 5 separate points of adjustment to allow for finer control of helicopter.	Revo Sub-menu REVO.: mixes collective pitch commands to the rudder (a PITCH-RUDDER mix) to suppress the torque generated by changes in the main rotor’s collective pitch angle, keeping the model from yawing when throttle is applied.
Timer Sub-menu Up/Down Timer functions: controls an electronic clock used to keep track of time remaining in a competition time allowed, flying time on a tank of fuel, amount of time on a battery, etc.	Trainer Sub-menu Trainer: for training novice pilots with optional trainer cord connecting 2 transmitters. The instructor has several levels of controllability.

Advanced Helicopter Menu Functions
Throttle Curve (Advanced) Sub-menu This 5-point curve is utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent load on the the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, and idle-up 2.	Pitch Curve (Advanced) Sub-menu This 5-point curve is utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent load on the the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, and idle-up 2. In addition, a separate collective pitch curve is available for throttle hold.
Revo Mix (Advanced) Sub-menu This linear curve mix adds opposite rudder input to counteract the changes in torque when the speed and collective pitch of the blades is changed.	Gyro Sub-menu Gyro: simplifies adjusting/selecting the gyro sensitivity, and can provide more than 2 gyro gain settings. (The higher the gain, the more correction the gyro provides and the “softer” or less responsive the helicopter feels.) This function makes the best possible use of the inflight adjustable gain of most gyros.
Hover Throttle Sub-menu Hovering Adjustments – Hover Throttle: Hovering throttle is a fine-tuning adjustments for the throttle, affecting performance only around the center point. They allow in-flight tweaking of the curves for ideal setup.	Hover Pitch Sub-menu Hovering Adjustments – Hover Pitch: Hovering pitch is a fine-tuning adjustments for the collective pitch curves individually, affecting performance only around the center point. They allow in-flight tweaking of the curves for ideal setup.
Throttle Hold Sub-menu Throttle Hold: This function holds the engine in the idling position and disengages it from the THROTTLE STICK when SWITCH E is moved. It is commonly used to practice auto-rotation.	Offset Sub-menu Offset: Optional separate trims in addition to those for the normal condition. This function is used to automatically change the trim of a helicopter, for example, when transitioned from hover to flying at high speed.
Governor Sub-menu Governor: The Governor mixing function is use to adjust the GV-1 (Governor) speed settings from the transmitter.	Swashplate to Throttle Sub-Menu Swashplate to Throttle: The swashplate to throttle mixing corrects slow of the engine speed caused by swashplate operation at aileron or elevator operation. Engine speed can be increased independently at aileron or elevator operation in each flight condition.
P-Mixes Sub-menu The 7C contains three separate linear programmable mixes. There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here.
