A QUICK INTRODUCTION TO THE 9C SYSTEM

TRANSMITTER:

Large graphic liquid-crystal display panel with 4 buttons and an easy set up turn-and-press Dial for quick, easy setup.

All transmitters include all 3 aircraft types with specialized programming for each, including:

Airplane (

ACRO

)

• 

V-tail

• 

Twin Aileron Servos (

FLAPERON

and 

AIL-DIFF

)

• 

ELEVON

• 

Twin Elevator Servos (

AILEVATOR

)

• 

AIRBRAKE

• 

Snap Roll (4 separate directions available)

Helicopter

(5 swashplate types, including CCPM, see page 77)(

HELI

)

• 

3 Idle Ups

• 

Throttle and Pitch Curves per Condition

• 

Revo. Mixing

• 

Gyro Mixing including Separate Settings per Condition

• 

Delay

• 

Governor Mixing

• 

Sailplane/Glider

(2 wing types)(

GLID

)

• 

V-tail

• 

Twin Ailerons (

FLAPERON

and 

AIL-DIFF

)

• 

ELEVON

• 

Crow (

BUTTERFLY

)

• 

START OFFSET

• 

SPEED OFFSET

• 

BASIC

menu for quick, easy set up of less complex models.

• 

ADVANCE

menu for more complex, unique setups.

• 

Four electronic 

T

RIM

L

EVERS

for rapid yet precise trim adjustment  -  no remembering to “store trims” between models

and no more “bumped trims” during transport.

• 

IDLE- DOWN

(

ACRO

and 

THR-CUT

(

ACRO/HELI

(engine shut off) setups to allow precise engine control for taxi and landings.

• 

8 complete model memories with 6 more per optional 

CAM

Pac.

• 

New stick design with improved feel, adjustable length and tension.

• 

Triple rates available by setting dual rates to 3-position switches.

• 

Eight 

S

WITCHES

, 3 

D

IALS

and 2 

S

LIDERS

;

completely assignable in most applications.

• 

Trainer system includes the “functional” (

FUNC

) setting, which allows the student to use the 9C’s mixing, helicopter, and

other programming functions even with a 4-channel buddy box. (Optional trainer cord required.)

• 

Transmits in both FM (

PPM

) and 

PCM

by selecting modulation/cycling transmitter. Requires receiver of proper modulation.

• 

Permanent memory storage via EEPROM with no backup battery to service or have fail.

• 

9CA transmitter features airplane friendly switch layout, with the trainer switch at the left hand, and a notched throttle

to minimize throttle changes with rudder input. Defaults to 

ACRO MODEL TYPE

• 

9CH transmitter features helicopter-friendly switch layout, with idle-up and throttle hold switches at the left hand, and

a smooth, ratchet-less (unsprung) throttle for perfect hovering. Defaults to 

HELI(SW1) MODEL TYPE

• 

Change transmitter mode from mode 2 to modes 1, 3, or 4. (See P. 15)

Note that in the text of this manual, beginning at this point, any time we are using a feature’s specialized name or abbreviation
as seen on the screen of the 9C, that name, feature, or abbreviation will be exactly as seen on the radio’s screen, including
capitalization and shown in a 

DIFFERENT TYPE STYLE

for clarity.  Any time we mention a specific control on the radio itself,

such as moving 

S

WITCH

A

,

K

NOB

VR(B)

, or the 

T

HROTTLE

S

TICK

, those words will be displayed as they are here.
