Default RE: 9C - VR Knobs and Sliders...

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The switch to knob for adjusting mixes sounds interesting. I'll have to play around with that one. I don't have any gas planes (YET), but a slider for the choke sounds like a perfect idea. I forgot about the heli uses. They probably find more uses for the knobs than us aero guys.
I must say I do like the 9C a lot. Even the little things like the count up/down timers, and the fact that the sliders beep once to let you know your at the center point is great when using the flaperons. Anyone using the "Idle-Down" and "Throttle-Cut" on the three position switch as the manual recommends? I tried that on the first model I converted over from the 6XAS last weekend and found it worked out great. UP for starting and normal flying (slightly higher idle at full back stick), MIDDLE for even lower idle (taxi or slow approach), and DOWN for engine shutdown.
Keep posting your favorite mixes and settings please.

Thanks,
