I'd like to use my Futaba 9ZAP instead of the stock transmitter. Can anyone point me to a setup thread for this?
9 cap settings are somewhere around page 46


T-defense---Your main shaft or spindle may still be bent. Without the head they will balance themselves out and you won't see the bend. First thing I would check is the blade balance, even brand new blades have to be balanced and tracked. As noted earlier, goto bladecprepair.com and make a cheapie balancer like his. If you click on my picture folder you can see mine. It's possible the blades are just out of track, too, if you haven't allready checked that. Balance, then tracking properly are the two most critical set-ups. Clamp yor bird to a table with a board across the landing gear and you can safely spin it up to check tracking. You need about 3/4 throttle to set it right. A little trick I used is to put two thin stripes on one blade and a single thicker stripe on the other. When it spins up it's very easy to see which blade is high. I think I have a pic of that, too. I'm color blind so the red-black thing didn't work for me.
