US version of new 9X - reason?
Dansy, that was a scan from hardcopy of Graupner's 2003 supplementry catalog that I have on hand; you can get the PDF version over here and droll over it 
(links have been posted b4)
http://www.graupner.de/neuheiten_dow...08N03HK-ef.pdf
http://www.graupner.de/neuheiten_dow...10N03WG-ef.pdf
The closest info on the version that will probably be the one available in the US is here:
http://www.cyberheli.com/PCM9X.asp
If you break down the $680 tag, it's actually very competative with the 9C (might even be a tad cheaper) when you consider that it includes R900 or NER649S RX and 4 x DS8301 servos.
As with many others, I'm waiting to see when/what 9X is brought into the market here. Other radio on my upgrade list in the same price range would be the Multiplex Royal EVO.

I have seen this info now..thank's Peter.
Now one question so what you are saying is that the 9X is the MX 22 or would the MX-22 would be something like the 12X ??

Too bad we just can't get a hold of an MX-22 in english. The radio looks nice, has flight phases, can have software updates, switch assignability, can do all 3 model types, exactly what a radio should be able to do. Not like the single purpose 10X.
The MX-22 beats out the 10X in a few categories.

The MX-22 programming looks very powerful, naming flight phases and more. Just an english version of that radio would be awesome, heck with making changes.
A synthesizer would be nice.

One thing though, I have not checked if the MX-22 is already shipping in the EU - anyone across the pond care to comment?
oh, and remember it uses the same RF module as the 8103/10X (also MC-22 and MC-24), so all that's needed is to swap out the RF deck to a 72MHz one - AND, FCC cert is for the RF deck, not the radio.

This is great information. I want to be sure on this FCC issue, is changing the RF module in the back the ONLY thing that is necessary to have the radio operate correctly on 72 MHz?
If I use the same RF module as in my 10X now, would I need to do ANYTHING at all?
Thanks

Craig,
You might wand to take up the issue over at the main Radio forum, iirc when you look up FCC id, it's only listed for the RF deck, whereas as for eg, the JR Quatro and 662, FCC id is for the entire TX (since RF deck is integrated). Also, I know that overseas flyers, when they compete in in the US they bring along their TX (MC series) and use a 72MHz deck.

MX22 has been shipping for some time now, however to start with, in German version only (software can be changed to English). But as of this week the English version is shipping, I´ll get mine next week. Acc. to a reliable source, the processor in the Mx22 is superseding the top-of-the-line Mc24. The software should be almost identical to Mc22 i.e total flexibility, YOU decides what switches and sticks are to be used for.

Do they have the manual in PDF file yet? (any language)
I sure like to look at it..I will be buying a second 10X this winter, now I might just have to buy two MX-22....

Nothing is down loadable and to my knowledge, there is so far not a specific Mx22 manual available. It comes with the Mc22 book.
One of my friends changed from Futaba to this Mx22, didn´t open the book but had it programmed for his Kangaroo-/Eurosport- and Stingray Jets within 30min. So it is obviously pretty straight forward.
I´m going from a 9Z since I need more than 9 channels, Mx22 comes with 12!

I wan't to see the instruction to understand the capabilities and constraint of the system, I currently use the 10X and I have used the Futaba 9Vap for a long while before.....

The 9x is grrrrreat!!!
I recently bought one down here in South Africa and I'm loving it ! I only need an English Instruction Manual (can't read Japanese)PLEASE!!!!! The tx is very user-friendly to setup but I'm afraid I might miss some small setting somewhere that makes my flying even better . Next month I will be buying my second 9X radio , love it that much !
ps. maybe just a throttle activated timer , please ...

We have examined the new 9 channel system and found that it did not meet the needs of the US market without some modification. The new 9 channel has numerous improvements for aircraft programming, however the sailplane and heli programming was virtually unchanged from the 8103. We are awaiting improved systems at this time with our 'wish list' included. Rest assured that the new 9 channel when released in the US will be worth the wait!

It's funny how I said that 2 pages ago, but noooo, we had a bunch of know it all's come on here stating that there was some kind of conspiracy going on. For all the conspiracy theorists...Any questions now? Sometimes I wonder where people get their info. from that they throw out to the whole world on here.

Conspiracy? What Conspiracy?
Danny, thanks for the updates as to how far along the line we'd have to wait for the 9X here in the US. fwiw my purchase decision of my next radio is still some 1/2 year away. Anyways:
* Heli - so I guess 140ccpm will still only be available on the 10X
* Sailplane - 8103 (using it now) is great for 4 servo wing, but if you put in a motor or move up to 6 servo wing, you have to do some creative mixing and switching here and there just to get it right. Flight modes would be nice, better yet adjustable flight mode transition time (eg, deploy/retract airbrakes at different speeds). And then back to again, the timer/stopwatch issues.
Still waiting eagerly
