I am trying to understand how to change settings on this transmitter. The manual seems to be written for avionics and not model yachts. I have two model yachts a Marblehead and an IOM. Currently the steering is opposite for each model. I have worked out how to change it , and I now want to know more about the settings. Is it possible to create separate profiles for boat ?

Is it possible to adjust and set the winch travel using the transmitter ? I have tried You Tube but it is quite limited . I am a member of Hampton Court model yacht club .

Thank you Ian Campbell

The T6J enables 15 different models to be programmed on the transmitter. (so two boats will be no problem) If you are programming two boats it would be best to have two receivers, one for each boat.

As far as programming the winch you will be using the endpoint adjust on the throttle channel (EPA). You are best to set the mid point of the winch to the centre position of the transmmiter stick and then set the end point of the required sail movement as near as possible equally either side of the stick mid point. (I normally take off the winch drum and then switch the transmitter on with the stick in its cental position so a multi turn winch finds it cental position, turn off transmitter and then put the drum back on with he sail sheet takeoff at the mid point in its travel.) If you get this wrong it is possible to damage boat or servo. If you are using an RMG winch talk to someone over setting it up as most don't use EPA for them.

The Futaba T6J is/was a popular transmitter for radio yachts so I would expect a skipper from Hampton Court Club should be able to help you. As with most of these things it is generally easier to show someone rather than explain verbally.

So for basics you need to be able to create a model name or just a number(I normally use design name). Then how to navigate to the End Point Adjust (EPA). I must admit I don't find the Futaba as intuative as the Spektrum DX6 to programme. Each to their own! More of our members use the Futaba.

If uncertain, best to ask at the Lake on a non race day or ask to meet a member who can help at the club to prevent damage.

I've looked at instructions for RMG and never understood them! So mine is - probably/maybe - on factory settings. I'm also Spektrum, which made it easy to move both endpoints to where the new boat needed.

Colin, worth giving Bill Green a call at Smartwinch regarding set up of RMG. Always found him helpful, if I remember correctly he has produced a video on Utube on how do setup a later 'RMG' with the setup wire.

If your 'RMG' is not programmed I would look to do so, as this winch is powerful enough to cause damage if it over runs end points.

Long time since I have had to do this as my Britpop uses an arm winch, Psycho is an old 'RMG' without setup wire and fortunatly has not given issues and Tonic is still running Chinese 'Vigor' winch now not produced (EPA used for this winch).
