face=Arial><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1F497D'>The
answer is so simple it makes me wonder if I’m actually answering what
you’re asking. Whenever you set up a flight condition, you go to the
condition select screen. Create (add) the condition from scratch or by copying
an existing condition (better choice) and name your new condition. When you
highlight your new condition, you’ll see a null button. Press on that and
you’ll go to a screen where you pick the switch, stick, knob, or slider
you want to use to activate the condition. After you pick the switch, click on
the “on-position” button which takes you to another screen to set what
position the switch needs to be in to activate the condition. With a 3-position
switch, you can make one switch position activate Condition #4 and the other
switch position would activate Condition #5 if you choose. The third switch
position shuts both conditions off. I hope I’ve explained this in a way
you can understand. If we did this in person on the actual radio, it would be a
lot easier to just show you. You’ll also want to pay attention to the
Condition Priority settings because that determines which condition will
prevail if you have the switches turned on for two different conditions. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=5 color="#1f497d"
face=Arial><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1F497D'>When
I first got going with my 14 MZ, I just created a model and kept going back and
forth between the manual (which isn’t the greatest) and the radio and
kept trying stuff until I understood it. One thing I quickly learned is to just
focus on the stuff I actually want. There are simply way too many features to
remember them all. I’ve had mine since they first came out and
there’s still stuff I don’t know how to set up but I don’t
care because those are features I don’t want or need. If you’re
still having trouble, send me a private e-mail and we can arrange to go over it
by phone and I’ll talk you through it as I do it myself on my radio while
you’re doing the same thing on yours. I plan on sending my radio in for
some routine maintenance in January so don’t wait too long!</span></font></p>

used to having a top-end radio like the 9ZAP. I used to have one as well and
used flight conditions similar to what you described. I upgraded to the 14MZ
which has all the features of the 9Z plus some more that make using flight
conditions even easier. The 12Z has everything the 14MZ has minus 2 channels
and the fancy screen. I think you’d be very happy with the 12Z. I’m
pretty sure you can download the owner’s manual for the 12Z from
Futaba’s site if you want to have a look for yourself.</span></font></p>
