Do I need to service this memory in any way? • I am thinking of purchasing an aftermarket Tx module for my module radio. Is this OK to do? Does this affect my warranty? • If I am using the trainer function of my 9Z, does my radio's auto-shut-off feature know it? Or do I need to turn off auto-shut-off while I'm instructing? • How do I set up a condition on my 9Z? • I want to change the operation speed of one of my servos (for example, slowing the opening of my gear doors). How can I do this? • Can you tell me the major advantages that this radio will offer me over the 8 channel? • I read somewhere the 8U super has 'FUNCTION' trainer capability and the 9Z has a trainer function called 'mixer'.

How does it differ from other radios? • Please explain dual rates, exponential, AFR and ATV and how they are related. • Can I replace the antenna in my 9Z myself? • Can I unscrew the antenna from my 9Z? • I want to set up a throttle cut condition on my helicopter which only operates in normal, not in any of my other conditions. How can I do this? (I am afraid I'll bump the throttle cut when reaching for certain other switches in inverted flight.) • I was using my radio, and suddenly my throttle servo went to idle. If I pull my throttle stick all the way back and then move it again, it works for a while and does it again. Am I doing something wrong? • What is 'battery failsafe'? What does this mean?

I want to make the two servos in each wing should act as both elevator and aileron. • I am interested in using conditions, but what about my trims? If I trim the model in one condition, will the trim 'follow' through all conditions or do I have to retrim in each condition? Also, what if I need a difference in trim (like an offset) between one condition and the next, but then want to have any changes I make in any condition follow from then on? • How do I delete a condition or a whole model out of the Campac? • How do I start a brand new model in my Campac? I can't seem to select any of the units in the Campac and start to edit it to make it a model?

separately at certain times. Specifically, I always want the engines to respond only to the throttle stick (never any knobs or other items), and I want the left engine to operate alone if the C switch is in the up position with the right engine at idle; the left and right engines operating together in the C center position, and the right engine to operate alone in the C down position, with the left engine at idle. Can I do this? • I want to set up two servos to operate a single surface, but not use a preset feature like flaperons or ailevators to do so. How can I do this with a mix? • I want to know about triple rates in conditions and over-riding one channel within a condition for a higher rate. • I am setting up flaperons on my 9Z. The flaperon function works great for the ailerons, but I can't seem to operate the flaps. What am I doing wrong? • I want to use a module-based radio (for example, 7U, 8U or 9Z) on a different frequency BAND than it currently uses. For example, I want to go to 75mHz for ground use for battlebots, boats or cars, or I have a HAM license and want to use the radio on 50mHz. Can I do this, and if so, how? • When I set up varied conditions, my trims don't have the same amount of effect in each condition. My 3D condition, for example, the trim has a much larger effect than in my normal flight condition. How can I fix that? • Can the 9Z's synthesized module and receiver be used with non-synthesized modules and receivers? • I own a 6X (or 8U or 9Z) airplane radio. I want to use it with helicopters. How do I get it changed? • I am looking for a 6+ channel computer radio on a ground frequency for use with my boat, car, or other ground only vehicle. What is available to me? • Can I use a receiver with a different number of channels than my transmitter (ex: 4ch Rx with 8ch Tx)? What about with the synthesized transmitter module/synthesized receiver of the 9Z? • How about setting up a complex 7-servo or 8-servo (8th servo being gasoline engine kill switch) aerobat on the 9Z with 2-each flap and aileron servos? • How can I get my gear doors to open and close delayed to the movement of my gear? • My ailerons work fine, but when I turn the flap knob they both move as ailerons. What's wrong? • Why are there different modules for the 9Z and the 8U? Can I use my 9Z module in my 8? • How can I move my throttle trim to the left slider on an aircraft model? • What receivers can I use with my transmitter other than the model which shipped with the radio? • When I am using my radio for programming, setup within my house, experimenting, etc, is there anything special I should do? • I'm confused by some of the 9Z terms and abbreviations. Can you help? • What are cross trims? Why does the trim beside the throttle adjust the elevator and vice versa? • I want to use flaperons with a 5-channel receiver. How can I do this?

transmitter from transmitting, do I still need to extend one section of the antenna or remove the module? • Is there any risk to using cellular phones in close proximity with my radio? • Please walk me through setting up the 9Z with the GV1. • How do I completely reset my 9Z, clearing all memories, passwords, user name, everything? • I see a trim change on one channel when I go from high rate to low rate. I am not changing conditions, just going to low rate. What's wrong? • How do I know which glider type to select for my particular model? • How do I properly range check my 9Z? • Is there a synth module for 35mHz for use in the UK? Is it legal to use? • How can I put expo or a curve into my throttle channel to give me linear throttle reaction? • When I go to the throttle cut screen in an aircraft model, the throttle position option is not shown. Am I doing something wrong? • How do I store the trims after a flight? • Does the throttle cut feature in the aircraft programming have throttle position as an option? • When using the elevon feature of my computer radio, I give elevator input and the surfaces move like ailerons. When I give aileron input they move like elevators. What's wrong? • I want to set up a safety on one of the auxiliary features on my model. For example, I want my speed brakes to fully retract automatically if my throttle goes above 1/3 throttle (I'd be making a go-around) to avoid the possibility of stalling the plane. How can I do that? • I want to create a mix which is only active if my throttle is above a certain point. For example, I only want my smoke to come on if my throttle is above 1/2 to avoid killing the engine. How can I do this? • I want to trigger my high rates to only be active when I am above a certain engine RPM on my heli. I can use stick position to trigger on the positive side, but on the negative side it doesn't recognize that the engine is actually 'revved up'. How can I make this work? • If my receiver is PCM, do I need a PCM module or PCM crystal for my transmitter? Do I need PCM crystals for it? • How can I set up a 45-degree CCPM on a 9Z or 9Z WC2? • How do I change this radio from FM to PCM or vice versa? • Can the 9Z radios handle 140 degree CCPM? If so, how? • What are the differences between a 9Z*P, W, and WC2 editions? • How can I do differential rudder throw on a v-tail? • How can I vary my onboard glow with throttle position? • My model is CCPM but one of the functions is backwards. For example, my elevator servo is forward on my swash plate, not aft, so the elevator function works backwards. How do I fix that? • How do I get aileron differential WITH flaperons?

back into my transmitter? • I want to use the 9Z's FMC functions to set up fuel mixture on my giant scale race plane so I can adjust the high speed mixture on the left slider. Also, I want the throttle cut to dump the fuel mixture servo to wide open which releases all pressure in the tank and bring my engine up to 1/2 throttle to burn off all fuel immediately. Can it do that? • What is a PLL error? • Can I fine tune my governor settings in flight? That is to say, adjust from say 1500 to 1525? • I did not find the answer to my question here. How do I get further assistance? Can I copy a model from my 9Z(A or H) P radio to my 9Z World Cup radio using the campac, or vice versa?

Turn on Ailevator (ALV) mixing. This will slave the CH5 (left elevator) servo to the elevator stick. If you want the inboard controls to also act as ailerons, use the A-3 and A-4 settings to get proper aileron travel directions. If you just want elevator, set A-3 and A-4 to zero (0%). 4.

Left throttle operates properly on the throttle stick already with no changes needed, so that is the up switch position for the channel 3 servo. However, the channel 7 servo needs to be brought to idle, or kill, or however you want it set up. We'll assume you want it to idle. To do so, offset mix channel 7: Select a blank pmix, make it active, and select the first choice as OFS and second as ch7. Make the percent 50% (you may need to adjust this to match your engine and your desired result), link off, switch C up. 3. Now, we need to operate the channel 7 throttle but not the channel 3 throttle when we move the throttle stick while in the down position. To do so, we do a pmix of throttle to throttle, -100% each direction, link off, trim off, offset 50%, switch C down. Now channel 7 operates, but channel 3 returns to neutral, not idle position. Again, like we did in part 2, do an offset mix to solve this problem. Select an available pmix, make it active, OFS to THR, 50% (adjust as needed), link off, switch C down. 4. Lastly, we need to turn off the channel 7 knob to avoid its position affecting your right engine, so pmix channel 7 to channel 7 -100% each direction, no link, 0 offset, no trim, and leave the switch setting as NULL.

The first is to change the mixing base relative to the main shaft which would require making a new main shaft with the head bolt in a different position to accomodate a different phasing shift of the mixing. This would allow use of the standard mix in the radio. 2. The second and more likely approach is to use two mixes in addition to the standard rotation mode to increase the electronic phase shifting in the radio. (Note: On the older version of the 9Z there is only 30-degree phase shifting but on the new 9Z it goes up to 40-degree.) This requires using a mix of elevator to aileron and another mix of aileron to elevator, around 20% up and down mix will solve the problem if you use the new 9Z. On the older 9Z you would likely need 40 to 60% to accomplish the correct mix ratio. To verify the elevator to aileron mix is correct all that needs to be done is have the flybar exactly in line with the tail boom and then move elevator fore and aft to verify the flybar is not seeing any inputs. Then move the aileron right and left and verify the blades are not seeing

both of these tests without any interaction you will have the 45-degree phase shift electronically adjusted correctly. These mixes will need to be active in all flight modes and should not be assigned to a switch which could inadvertently turn them off. (The default in the program mixes is always on and no switch assigned.)     How do I change this radio from FM to PCM or vice versa? )   " 0.9<.  F  '   +9 ! ,    "      *"    * " *0.9<."

The program mix that is necessary is elevator as Master to pitch as Slave. With my Caliber it requires -35% down linear mix and -33 up linear mix. The only other change is in the SWH menu. The elevator rate will need to be increased to approximately 70 to give the same control input as the standard 120 CCPM using a rate of 50. With these changes the Futaba will fly 140 CCPM perfectly. That is the setup I flew at the NATS with the Caliber. Using the 140 CCPM gives a more precise feel to the elevator inputs but does not change the collective or aileron feel.

This is used to practice autorotations. NOTE: a helicopter model type pre-assigns a condition specifically to be used for throttle hold or autorotation practice; HOWEVER, it does not assign anything to this condition. Besides activating throttle hold, you will need to create proper pitch curves to allow blade inertia to increase during the drop, and sufficient pitch to bring the helicopter back to a hover and land. Manual P. 110. HOF O C K Hovering offset. Heli programming only. Adjusts the center point of the pitch curves, including the hovering pitch curve, to fine-tune the hovering point when it is not exactly center throttle stick position Manual P.109.  HOM: Home menu.

An electronically encoded method of transmitting data to a receiver to help minimize the effects of interference. Analog signals are encoded into a stream of digits, coded as a series of pulses for transmission to the receiver. The greater number of samples in the digital signal (i.e. 1024 vs. 512), the greater the resolution and control precision. An increased signal-to-noise ratio allows PCM systems to exibit minimal effects from interference. See PMD.

Pitch curve. Heli programming only. Pre-programmed curve mix which gives 13 points along the throttle stick (or other control – see PIT) movement to fine-tune the pitch response. Manual P. 104. NOTE: Hovering pitch, pitch trim and hovering offset allow fine tune this curve. PHV O C G Hovering pitch. Heli programming only. This is a pre-programmed hovering-type mix which gives an in-flight adjustment to the pitch curve at and around center stick (or the hovering point if that point is not at center throttle stick, then the center-point of this feature is adjusted with the hovering offset command) to give very fine-tuning for easiest hovering. Manual P. 105. PIT P D I  Pitch curve activation. Heli programming only. Used to attach the pitch channel to the throttle stick. Pitch curve may be disabled or operated by a control other than the throttle stick, for example, in fixed pitch and dual rotor helicopters (which use throttle to adjust pitch, not a pitch command.) Manual P. 58. NOTE: Manual says this function turns the pitch curve function on and off; however, PCV, pitch curve, actually remains functional if you reassign pitch to a different control such as a slider. PMD P B I Pulse Modulation. Used to select FM (PPM) or PCM to match the particular receiver being used. Transmitter must be turned off and back on to activate new modulation. Manual P. 43.
