I got a 14Sg the other day, set it up with Ianwood's profile, tested and flown out to 1600m. It's fantastic. Highly recommended if anyone is on the fence. The smooth gimbal control alone is worth it.
I've made a couple program modifications to make it more intuitive for me, but deciphering the instruction manual (which I've tried to read 2x now) to complete the rest of what I'd like to do is proving difficult for my mental midgetness despite watching and reading all I can find on it.. :lol:
so far, I've switched manual Gimbal control to the LS instead of RS because it's easier for me.. and, I put the 3-position tilt on SE instead of SB because I didn't like "reaching" over SA to toggle positions as I accidentally hit SA/IOC occasionally while wearing goggles. Moving tilt functions to SE and LS gives all gimbal operation to my Left pointer finger without looking or worrying about hitting/changing SA/ IOC.
for lever switch; LINKAGE >FUNCTION, then change GEAR control from RS to LS
for SB to SE switch; LINKAGE >FUNCTION, then change MOT control from SB to SE
Following Ianwoods advice to DesertFlyer, the other thing I managed to do was reverse LD's function so that if you turn the dial left, the Phantom yaws left. Turn dial right, craft yaws right. LINKAGE>FUNCTION>RUDDER, select LD, then set rate from 30% to -30%.. works perfectly and is more intuitive for me.
There are 2 things I'd like to do now but they don't appear as straight forward as the changes I've already made.
1. I'd like to move SA/ IOC functions to the SB switch and leave SA empty to help prevent accidental changes and also, SA would be empty for possible future gimbal control options, keeping all Gimbal controls accessible by one finger. e.g. a 0-22.5-45 smooth tilt possibly? (EDIT: figured how to move SA/ IOC functions to the SB switch and leave SA empty)
2. I'd like to switch the triple rate functions from SC to SD and move SD's GPS/ATTI/MAN function to SC, also to help prevent accidental changes..
Any help with that would be greatly appreciated!! I think I might be able to figure it out, but more than anything, scared of messing up what I've already been able to do :? Reading this, and other Futaba threads has been more beneficial than the actual manual. Thank you.
