AnnMarie,

I received the 9CAF this afternoon, I guess I got one of the newer unit, have taller knobs, I think. I have to compared it to my friend's this Sunday.

Anyway, I played with it for a while and noticed the annoying programming method of the 9C. Too many buttons to push. I thought the spin wheel can do all the cursor driving, just spin and click, without lifting the thumb off the wheel. Like the one on the Multiplex and Graupner.
Oh well, I needed the side slider to fly my Electric Super Dimona power glider with spoiler( with VR(D) to control the spoilers. Is there a way to turn off the center beep on the VR(D) and VR(E)? Kinda annoying, I think a detent of the center of the slider will be good enough (to me), my 3 cents!
