Hi all, i just inherited my uncles T9CAP. i've tried to download a manual from the Futaba site and it is corrupted. can anyone point me to a clean version??

thank you, bill woodward in titusville, Florida

You may want to right-click the link and then save it. That should work, the file is clean.

thank you very much!! this is my first Futaba, everything from 1979 to now has been JR. are you also the repair facility, just in case??

Yes, we are.

Not to step on the toes of Bax. But I have a 9c and a 10c. Love them both. If you run into a specific programming issue and need help. Post a question in the regular forums and PM me with the location. Would be glad to help. Once you follow the logic these radios will do most anything.

Thanks, David, sorry i just now responded. i've been busy retiring and getting my life up and runing in a different direction!! r/c is now back at the top of the list!! i'm finishing a three year old project and hope to have it flying soon. its a kit bash with an electric telemaster wing with Stik tips and a Stik body resized by "self"......

It's looking good! Those wing tips are a pain to get covered. The Super Sportster series from GP has a rounded tip that tapers like that. Three hands would help getting them tight :-)


Be sure and use a different forum if you need any help. These "direct support" forums are really for specific questions directed at the factory reps.

Harry Higley puts (put) out a book on the 9C that was WAY better than the manual for programming. Is still be available. http://harryhigley.com/ And Tower carries them.

My 9C still soldiers on with the module to take it to 2.4gHz. Great transmitter.

I'm glad to hear my T9CAP Super may still be a viable tx.
I think I need an update on my options for using this thing again.

After some 32 years, I tried to get back into flying in 2007 and got the T9CAP Super and a Multiplex EZE Electric Glider, but only got a handful of flights on it.
I'm hoping to try and get back back into it this coming year.

I thought a lot had morphed in the 32 years from 1975 to 2007 ! 8 short years later, and I don't recognize most of the current technology again.

I'm still on 72mhz. I remember really enjoying learning and shopping for various servos, and mini rx's in 2007 for the EZE. With my old buzzard bombshell, Windward glider, a new SIG Hog Bipe kit, and a classic pattern plane all calling my name, what should I know about flying in 2015 and beyond with this radio? I'm not going to FPV, but is telemetery used for anything else?

Maybe you can point me to a "radio technology update primer" sticky somewhere.

Thanks

Barry

We've deleted several posts for a few reasons:

1) This is not a discussion forum. This is a place where people can ask questions of the Futaba Support representatives to get answers to questions about their Futaba equipment. Per RCU rules, only Futaba Support staff are permitted to answer those questions.

2) The posts got away from Futaba equipment, which makes the discussion no longer apply to this particular support forum.

Barry,

There isn't a primer or "sticky" anywhere that can bring you up to speed on the modern technology that current-production systems are using. However, your 9C is a perfectly-good transmitter. If you want to bring it into the 2.4 GHz era, just install a Futaba TM-8 transmitter module. This will work with any of the Futaba FASST aircraft receivers. You can also get the FHSS module:

Purchase the appropriate receiver and you'll have all the advantages of modern spread-spectrum operation!

Telemetry sensors in the model, and the display in the transmitter will show you things like battery voltage, engine temperature, engine RPM, GPS position, and so forth. This is information available for those who are interested in knowing those things. Most can take it or leave it, but the new equipment is coming out telemetry-capable.

Great. Thanks Bill. I look forward to getting some flight time with this transmitter.
