i see that now also.
but i hope that the module will support the full 10 channels, to work with a possible (?) "AR10000" 10 ch. spektrum rx (future?)
i do have 1 plane that uses all 10.

Status: offline 		Is the user able to link the model setup in the radio (9303 for example) to the receiver like you can with the DX7? With the DX7, the model settings are linked to the receiver so you do not accidently "fly the wrong plane". Are there any limitations or features that can't be integrated into the "module solution" that exists in the "native" DX7 solution?

Isn't the ppm output from a Futaba still 9 channels?
Is it just so that the JR looks better?

We will have reps on from spektrum to answer questions on these products so ask away.

SPMMSFUT9 DSM2 Air Module System FUTABA - HITEC w/AR9000 RX $299.99

SPMAR9000 AR9000 DSM2 9ch. RX $169.99



I have the first version of the Futaba 9CAP Tx. Do I order the above quoted items (first is for Tx & Rcv combo, second is for spare rcv'rs)
Do I have that correct?

Why do they state 9ch, yet only use 8ch (9 for Jr, 8 for Futaba)?

Spektrum - Futaba - JR info.....
About 1/2 way down, in the section on "How Spektrum Air Modules Work"

Does that mean my Futaba 9CAP then becomes an 8 ch radio???

They don't work with the 6000, but they work with the newer 6100.

Yes. My understanding is that the 9C's 9th channel is only operational when in PCM mode. The module requires the radio be in PPM mode which only allows for 8 channels on the transmitter.

I have a 9C and I have never used more than 6 channels - it won't effect me that much but I can see it being a problem for others.

Status: offline 		I assume that the module comes with an appropriate antenna. There seem to be two choices - ball mount which plugs in after you unscrew the normal antenna, and a mount that goes over the existing antenna when collapsed. Is this correct ?

Thank You

Status: offline 		Running in PPM mode does remove some features from these radios that are available in PCM mode. Failsafe is one of them.

I think I will stick with 72mhz and enjoy the more open channels with a lot of people switching to 2.4ghz. All in all, good news for everyone that these modules are going to be available.

If and when I do make the switch, it will be to a professional grade 9+ channel 2.4ghz factory radio with functionality similar to a 9Z or better.
