Forgive me for getting mentally worn through with this project – Spektrum was the final brand that I learned how to program and implement our advanced suite of transmitter ideas. It’s possibly not quite as complete as our Radiomaster and Futaba manuals. In the event that you find any errors and ommissions – or have ideas of things we can add – please write into this website via the Contacts Page and let us know.

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.

Advanced Radio Sailor’s Guide to the Futaba Transmitter

Leave a reply

Last year we wrote Beginners Manuals for radio sailors with Radiomaster, Flysky and Futaba transmitters. There is an excellent Spektrum manual from the USA for which we also published the download link. The manuals have been enormously popular and downloaded about 1,500 times in twelve months. Interestingly the most popular is for Radiomaster, followed by the Radio Sailors Manual for Futaba.

We have been busy recently on both Radiomaster and Futaba finding out how to implement some more advanced features for radio sailing, over and above what we all use normally.

These are:-

. Advanced Mainsheet Management

. 4 Position “Pinch and Puff” using joystick plus switch

. VMG Fine Tune for Mainsheet using volume dial control

. Flick Gybe on a Button

. Advanced Rudder Management

You can download the Implementation Guide for these features on Futaba by clicking here:-
