Futaba : Advanced Transmitter Guide for Radio Sailing

Leave a reply

After publishing our Advanced Radio Sailing Guide to the Radiomaster, it seemed right to publish the same manual for Futaba.

Now Radiomaster and Futaba have their own dedicated online manual so you can access it from your phone at the water’s edge.

Same advanced features, but different programming to achieve identical outcomes!

You can access it from the home page of this “Datchet Radio Sailing” club website. Hover your mouse over the word “RADIOS” on the main menu bar above. Two drop downs will appear – Radiomaster and Futaba. Just click on the one that you want.

Let us know how it goes! Especially errors or omissions, plus any advice you have on Alarms Management on the Futaba. You can email us via the address on the CONTACT page of this website.

Radiomaster : Advanced Transmitter Guide for Radio Sailors….!!

Leave a reply

As we write, (14 January 2026) our Radio Sailing Beginners Guides to Transmitters have been downloaded globally 1,600 times. 958 of those downloads were for Radiomaster.

Today we have launched our Advanced Radio Sailors’ User Manual for Radiomaster Transmitters. It covers all the very sexy features that many of you have been waiting for.

It has taken time from several Datchet Members to pull all this together.

Instead of publishing a pdf download manual as we have previously, this time we have given the transmitter its own website. Now you can use it from the side of the lake reading from your phone!!

If you look at the website’s menu bar, you can also download our previous Radio Sailing Beginner’s Guides to Flysky, Futaba, and Spektrum (download from USA). We have also included our advanced Futaba User guide which covers the same advanced Radio Sailing features as the new website. All our Transmitter manuals in one, easy-to-find place.

To see it, click on “RADIOS” on the menu bar above.

If you have reached a point that you feel you want to check or adjust the maximum throw of your rudder blade from side to side that your transmitter generates, what is a way to do it??

I tried to simply find the answer to “what is the optimum maximum rudder angle?”…. it’s not as simple as you’d think !!
