[NSRCA-discussion] Heli vs. Aircraft radio question

[Park, Ihncheol]

John,
 
Yes, I was considering the 12MZ, but decided to stay with JR until the next
radio (may be 4 or 5 years from now?).   They are starting to stock Mode 1
versions of 9303, so that we don't have to pay extra fee for flexequip.  
 
Can you replace all those switches to 3 position switches?

On the top end Futaba radios you can assign any function to any switch. The
only limitation is of course if it's a 3-position or a 2-position switch.
You can't put triple rates on a 2-position switch for example. The 12Z and
14Mz are very flexible. I'm not sure about the 14, but the 12Z "aircraft"
radio has a ratchet on the throttle, but you can disable it without taking
apart the Tx. Just a screw that's accessible through the back cover. Both of
these radios allow you to change the actual switch types too.

This is the problem that I am having right now.  

I just moved up to 9303 Heli from 8103 Air.  Still trying to look up all the
new functions and switch locations.  
I have to memorize all those switches named for heli after changing to Mode
1 from Mode 2.  
JR used to include switch identification stickers for their radios, but not
anymore.  It was a really good thing.  I wonder if Futaba has anything like
that.

  Besides all the differences already mentioned being both identical
programming booting up to a different mode (heli) the only other difference
is that the switches on the CHP will be named for helis. Idle1, Norm, Idle 2
etc...

The actual programming in both CAP-CHP are the exact same.  The difference
being that the heli version will boot up to a heli and the airplane version
will boot up to an acro model when starting out to a new model.  All of the
mixes are the same.  Some other differences are as follows.  The trainer
switch is on the right on a heli version, left on acro.  There is a three
position switch on the left of the heli, it is on the right of the acro.
The heli does NOT have a ratcheting throttle, the acro does.

Other than those there are little difference between the two.  I am a avid
heli pilot and have flown pattern and have always used a "heli" radio.  I
have done it with the 9C, 9303 and now the 14MZ.  My personal preference is
the heli mainly because the throttle is non ratcheting.

Hope this helps.

 The 9C airplane has both airplane , heli and glider systems the difference
is some of the switches are different on heli model I believe, I haven't use
mine on a heli but it has many options like different swachplate
configureations go to twoer and download manuals.

This question is w.r.t. the Futaba 9 CAP for helis and airplanes, but I am
also interested in other radios as well.  I am looking at picking up a radio
from another club member, and was told the heli version of the 9 CAP and the
airplane version of the 9 CAP are different, program wise, only in that the
heli version contains both heli and airplane programs and the airplane
version only contains airplane programs.  Is this true for us pattern guys
who use lots of mixes, expo, flight conditions, etc????
 
I have not flown a heli, but isn't there also a difference w.r.t. the
sticks?
