Setting up FrSky TFRSP as a wireless trainer system
What you need:
zRadio used by teacher, which will control the model
(not necessarily Futaba FASST compatible)
zRadio used by student
(Futaba FASST compatible)
zFrSky TFRSP Futaba FASST compatible receiver﹡
zWTC/x trainer connector cable matching your radio's trainer port
(WTC/1 Futaba plug is available now, cable for other brand radios,
such as Graupner/JR MX22/MX24s will be available soon)
Set up:
zFix FrSky TFRSP and connect it to the transmitter
Find a suitable place to fix FrSky TFRSP. We recommend a flat spot where velcro tape can hold firmly,
not too far away from the trainer socket of the teacher's radio. Connect the WTC/x to the CPPM port of
TFRSP and the radio's trainer port.
zSet up the teacher’s radio as appropriate:
In this example, a specific radio is used. Your radio may require different steps to achieve the goals
demonstrated.

Certain radios require activation of the trainer port, others not. Some radios allow the teacher to select
which function the student may control. See in your radio's manual how to allocate these.
zBind your TFRSP to the student's radio:
1. Switch the student’s radio on
2. Set the student's radio up to use PPM protocol
3. Power the teacher's radio on while pressing down the
TFRSP's F/S button. Observe the flashing of your
TFRSP's LED, which indicates the binding process is
completed successfully
4. Cycle the power of the teacher's radio
5. The link should be set up and your TFRSP is bound to
the student's radio, which is indicated by a constant lit
LED of your TFRSP
6. In case the binding process goes wrong, repeat steps 1 to 5

Troubleshooting:
zTFRSP's LED does not light up at all
Power is missing.
provide external power from a battery or bec
trainer port and thus power to TFRSP is not activated, see the radio's manual on how to activate it
zChannels are mixed up
It is not a mistake of your TFRSP, but may happen if the student’s and teacher’s radios do have a
different channel allocation scheme.
In case of a JR/Graupner radio (channel scheme 1 Thr, 2 Ail, 3 Ele…) as the teacher’s radio and a
Hitec Optic radio (channel scheme 1 Ail, 2 Thr, 3 Ele…) as the student’s radio, at least throttle and
aileron have to be exchanged. This can be achieved by 2 mixers active only when the teacher is
controlling the model plus 2 mixers active only when the student is controlling the model. Throttle
and Aileron channels should be reachable through mixers only. The example below shows the set
up on a Graupner/JR mx-22, assuming the switch used to pass control to the student is switch 7
In case of a Futaba FX30 and compatible radios (channel scheme 1 Ele, 2 Ail, 3 Thr …) as the
student’s radio, channels 1 and 3 need to be exchanged on the Graupner/JR transmitter as shown
above.

﹡FrSky V8R7SP and D8RSP can be used to set up wireless trainer systems too, along with respective
FrSky compatible modules. The module of the student’s radio needs to be replaced by respective FrSky
module, with the same set up procedures above.
Below is the compatibility chart:
Receiver Respective compatible module
V8R7SP Non-telemetry module: V8FT, V8JT, V8HT
Telemetry module in V8 mode: DFT, DJT, DHT, DHT-U
D8RSP Telemetry module in two way mode: DFT, DJT, DHT, DHT-U
