9C/9CAP
 

I see many references to both 9C and 9CAP radios. Are these two different radios or do some folks simply drop the "AP" in the designation?

RE: 9C/9CAP
 

Yes, many users simple drop the end letters as a 9C (aka 9CAPS, 9CAFS, 9CHPS, 9CHFS, 9CPS)is
the same transmitter with minor variations giving rise to the several labels, refer:

9C 9 channel Computer Radio
A = Aircraft version (ratchet throttle, 3 position switch on right front with a 2 pos on the left, and default of a new aircraft type is ACRO)
H = Helicopter version (smooth throttle, the two switches above are swapped, 3 position on left, 2 position on right, default type = HELI)

F = FM or more accurately PPM, that means models that are bought with a reciever come with an FM/PPM reciever and model types default to PPM modulation
P = PCM. Models bought as a package come with a PCM reciever and modulation defaults to PCM

So a 9CHP is a 9 channel heli version with a PCM reciever.
Modulation can be changed on a per model basis, and either A or H has the software for both, the only differences are the throttle ratchet and switch position.

Can the default type be switched from Heli to ACRO?

RE: 9C/9CAP
 

Probably but you need access to the service menu.

Its no biggie, you just bring up a new model, go to the PARAMETER menu and switch it.

The other part was the "S". It stands for the Supper version. Better screen, a few more options for programing, but basicly the same as the 9C.

I have one of each, very good radios.

Hansen Hobby's web site has some accessories for the 9C's that can be really useful when you want do change things around a bit.
