F550 with Futaba T8J Radio

[Cstroke]

Hi Guys!

I am just about to buy an F550 with retractable legs, Gopro on Zenmuse h3-2d Gimbal, one battery and Futaba T8J radio.

Some questions arises...

Is it possible to make the throttlestick work the same way as on the Vision+? Like stick goes to center, the aircraft hoovers without any throttle input from me?
Can you adjust yaw speed on this radio?

Would you take it over the vision+?

Please move if its not in the right place

Best Regards Newbie

You can buy a kit from Futaba that you install that will center the stick. Check YouTube for a how to. It took maybe ten minutes for me to do it. It took a long time to get my kit from Futaba. After several attempts at getting one the issue turned out to be Futaba doesn't deliver to PO boxes. As for the Yaw I can't say for sure on that one. Check YouTube.

I called Futaba support after I purchased my radio....they just sent the kit to me free. Showed up in two days and works perfect.

Hi Guys!


Can you adjust yaw speed on this radio?

Haven't tried it - I put yaw on a knob instead. However, it seems that dialing in some expo is the easy way. Give it 40% on the yaw (rudder) for a start. A little stick movement makes a very slight change. Lots of stick movement causes the yaw to increase up to max. Don't know if the 8J has a knob you can use but if it does, mix it with the rudder - you can set the yaw speed from slight to max and it will be constant.
