Radio Manuals – PDF Downloads or Online Websites…??

Leave a reply

If you use any of our transmitter manuals for radio sailors, you’ll know that we did all our basic manuals (and one of our advanced manuals) as pdf downloads. Very popular they were too. (about 3650 or more downloads as I write in July 2026).

Then we did our more advanced featured manuals for Radiomaster/Futaba/Spektrum…. they have been popular, but nothing like the usage yet as the pdf download manuals.

So as a little test we decided to offer the Radiomaster Advanced manual as both a PDF download AND its own website.

Astonishment – the pdf download is already twice as popular as the website …. 650 downloads already.

OK … give us some time and rainy days, and we might put the work in to make the Futaba and Spektrum Advanced manuals available as pdf downloads as well.

If you have strong opinions, just email them in to the website via the contacts page.

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.
