and I'm being told this radio is a PPM system. when hooking up one of the hobby eagle A3 super 4 gyros it said you need to wire it up exactly like they show. It worked for me on the PWM setup because I thought thats what I have. but they have pwm and ppm receivers that work with this radio. the receiver I'm using is a r617fs. Im going to buy a R7006SB which has Sbus to try. way less wires to tuck in this little plane. but part of me thinks I should just give up on this radio due to its age and buy something modern.
for a radio that was close to $900 new the manual for it is garbage. even a reviewer pointed out how bad it is and there's features in the radio that don't seem to actually work. https://rc-soar.com/futaba12fg/index.htm

64mm F16 V1 without modification is a delta wing type. V2 is more of a regular wing type setup, and the same as a V1 mod, 1 aileron 1 elevator if they are "Y'd" together. Or you can separate out the control surfaces. 2 channels for aileron, 2 for elevator. Or one for elevator if that is Y cabled together

ok now with some help from the guys at the field we tried it set up with delta wing. 2 ailerons. rudder normal.
seems to work. under the servo monitor it has channel 1 as rudder. channel 2 as AUX2. channel 3 throttle. channel 4 aileron one. channel 5 aileron two. reverse all servos. the only thing that we can't get to work is throttle reverse with this setup.
none of it makes sense. especially not using channel 2. but whatever.
glad V2 went with a easier setup

I know you guys don't really care, but that setup on the previous page, literally doesn't work now. I have no Idea. set up like a delta wing it works but can't get the reverse function to work.
giving up on the V1 setup for now with this old Futaba. it's too outdated maybe.
the V2 version all works perfectly.
