[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba 14mz and compact flash card

[Claude Weimer]

Thanks for the information. I like the radio but mine was going to low
throttle (failsafe), and when it went into hold on the knife edge point of a
four point I stopped using it.

Don't wait, cut your antenna....  been there, done that.  This receiver is
way more sensitive to reception than most, if not all other receivers.

It's not a question of "if", but when you are going to go into hold.
There's been some discussions between guys who have lost their planes and 

Futaba about the statement you are referring too...

I got lucky.  Mine would go into hold on throttle only, no problems with any
of the other channels...  That was about the time at which they

just started to find out there was a problem...  I tried everything.
Nothing helped.  I bought a new receiver and noticed the shorter antenna,

so I started digging and found the big discussion.  Since the new receiver
worked flawlessly, I cut the antenna on the original and put it back 

in the plane...  I've been flying it since June 2006, without so much as a
sneeze.

My question isn't about the card but about the antenna length on the R5014
receiver. There was an article in RCU about cutting the antenna length to
21.6" to solve intermittent holds. Then I read something from Futaba that
you should not cut the antenna, you should tighten any metal or carbon
vibration to solve the problem. A friend bought a new radio with that
receiver and it has the shortened antenna. So my question is if Futaba is
shipping new receivers with the shorter antenna then why would they
recommend not cutting the antenna? Holds no matter how short, unnerve me to
the point of not wanting to fly the airplane. I have been using 1024
receivers with the 14mz radio.

Only as a bench test.  I had this 2 gig card for a camera, and popped it in.
It all seemed to work just fine.  Saved settings, recalled settings, much
more room for tunes, etc.  Didn't test to see if there was a problem with a
large number of files on the card - possible the MZ itself can't display
beyond a certain number.
The system doesn't need the card except as storage space - so if the saved
planes read in to the radio fine, I wouldn't expect any issues.  From the
test, I will experiment once the temperature gets more reasonable for
flying.  Minus 10 last night.....

Has anyone tried a compact flash card in their 14mz other than the factory 
supplied 32MB compact flash card ??
TIA.....Ed M.
