Hi guys ......

Today, I received my long backordered Hitec Fusion 9 Rx. Wonder if anyone out there has received one, and has used/flown with it yet? If so, how did/do you rate it? I played on the bench with it for an hour or so, and am impressed so far. Have it installed in my testbed bird. Will give it the acid test in the morning i Hope.

Hitec seems to have some sort of problem bringing the Fusion 9 to market
let us know how yours works out.

Hello Ira ...

Well, good news and bad news so far for me. When i hooked things up yesterday, I used my backup transmitter, which is a Futaba 9C. Everything worked as it should. I then tried using my main Tx which is a Futaba 9Z ... ohhh ohhh ...... nothing!? I reset the receiver to default settings and then tried setting it up as per their instructions .... no good.. it will not respond to the 9Z at all . Then i got my 9c out and tried setting the freq channel ... set almost instantly! reset and tried the 9Z again .... no go. Then i reset it, and tried setting the channel with my Hitec Eclipse .... it set almost instantly. Dunno what is going on, but it does not seem to work with my 9Z, so guess that I will not be buying any more of them! Sort of shocked me as i have been using Hitec receivers almost exclujsively, with absolutely no problems what so ever, for many years.

Is it possible the 9Z may be in pcm mode and does it have shift select? howeverI think
the Fusion has auto shift select so it should receive any ppm fm transmitter no matter
what the shift.

I had reset the modulation to ppm ... it did not matter .. still does not respond to the 9Z!

Well it seems that Hitec still has some bugs in the Fusion 9, when they were first
introduced some 8-10 months ago i was going to purchase one but then they were
never available, later I begain to here they had been recalled and the few that made it
to market were not working properly.
