Hi Georgie,

 

The 9C is an awesome radio, and I think offers the most capability for the
$$$.  You description below made perfect sense to me as I was reading it, as
the P-Mix values (or % travel) are established by the ATV for the selected
channels.  Thus, if your total ATV is high, and you start flipping DR
switches while holding the input, you should see a proportional change in
the throw of the P-Mix (high rates will show more P-Mix than low rates).
The 9C has "triple" rates, and not really "flight-conditions" like the
9WCII.  Thus, once you turn on a mix, it is available for all three rate
settings - all the time.  If you set up your rates for a high-rate, normal
flight, and snap, then as you flip the switches you'll see corresponding
changes to the amount of mix throw in the model (given the DR rates are
indeed different).

 

The switch selected for the DR should not affect the values.  However, if
you have two DR's assigned to switch B, then pull one away to switch G,
there might be a remaining ATV change on the switch G from another channel
(maybe I misunderstood your description???).

 

Zinger:  In order to achieve the triple rates, you must have them assigned
to a 3 position switch.  My favorite is the tall switch C.  Fully up is
normal flight, middle snap, lowest landing/stall turn (high rate AIL, ELV,
RUD).  This is basically 3 flight conditions - except that your Mix values
and ATV's are constantly on for each rate condition. (However, EXP is
adjustable indepentantly for each DR setting).

 

Hope this helps.

 

Jim

Georgie,

 Is this a 9C or 9C "Super"? I have one of the older 9C's (non- Super) but I
might be able to help. Describe your P-mixes in detail. Look at ALL the
mixes in there. Maybe there is some other mix enabled that you don't know
about. My guess is there is some mix that has link enabled (not the ones you
set up, but another on that you don't know about). If all else fails, just
copy the model that works into another spot, then change the things that you
need to make it work on the new model. If it works correctly, just overwrite
the saved model that you're having problems with now.

Hi Guys,

I'm in need of a little help from any of the Futaba 9C gurus out there.

After setting up a new airplane yesterday I noticed a problem that I had
never run into before and I'm hoping somebody can help me rectify the
situation.

In my programming procedure I incorporated 4 P-mixes along with all the
other D/R's, Expo's,e.t.c. However, at the conclusion of my session I
noticed that the rudder dual rate switch affected the throws of the P-Mixes
to the same percentage value as the dual rate function. This happens even if
I assign a different switch to the rudder dual rate  function, i.e. if I
assign switch "G" to the rudder dual rate function the values of the P-Mixes
change when I throw switch "B"( the normal rudder dual rate switch).

I have another model programmed into this same transmitter with the same 4
P-Mixes installed and there is no problem with that model when I throw
switch "B".

All the mix switches are set to null with links and trims set to the "off"
position.

Something's got to be running in the background that is enabling the "B"
switch to have overriding authority over the mix functions. 

Anybody out there got any ideas. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Georgie
