only use a few of the switches anyway. You could hack the 9Z and make it
recognize 3-position switches in alternate positions too. It's just not
documented by Futaba.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Hope this
helps.<BR><BR>Steven Maxwell wrote:

<DIV> 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.</DIV>

[NSRCA-discussion] Heli vs. Aircraft radio question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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????</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have not flown a heli, but isn't there
also a difference w.r.t. the sticks?</FONT></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE wrap=""><HR width="90%" SIZE=4>
