Rudder-to-throttle mix: (

HELI

) adds throttle to counter the added load from increasing pitch of the tail blades,

maintaining a constant head-speed with rudder. (This is a minor effect and is not critical in most helicopters.) Not a
preprogrammed mix. See 

Programmable mix

Rx: receiver.

SAFE MODE

: feature in snap roll programming that does not allow a snap roll if landing gear is lowered. See 

Snap roll

SET

: to accept. Usually done by pressing and holding the dial when instructed.

Slave: channel that moves in response to the command of the master. See 

Programmable mix

Slaving servos: see programmable mix, p. 59.

Slider assignability: sliders on side of radio, known as 

VR(D)

and 

VR(E)

in programming, may be assigned to control

channels 5-8 in 

AUX-CH

, used as the primary control of a mix in programmable mixes, etc.

SNAP ROLL

: (

ACRO

) combines rudder, elevator and aileron movement to cause the aircraft to snap or spin at the flip of a

switch. 9C offers 4 separate snaps with 1 or 2 switches used for selection.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .51 

Speed Flaps: main flaps on a 5-servo glider.

SWASH AFR

: (

HELI,

CCPM types only) adjustment of the travel of all servos involved in the particular control’s

movement 

only

during the movement of that control.  Ex: reverse the direction of movement of collective pitch while

not affecting the direction of movement of either cyclic control.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .79

Switch programmability: MOST features are reassignable to a variety of switches, including simply moving an
auxiliary control such as flaps from the stock dial to a switch or other location. See 

AUX-CH.

Synthesized module/receiver: The 9C is compatible with the R309DPS Futaba synthesized receiver that can be used on
any 72MHz channel. There is not a synthesized transmitter module that is safe/FCC certified/approved for use with the
9C at the time of this printing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10
