I have a 9c.
I also have a menace plus that doesn't want to land.
I am using a hitec 5 channel so the second aileron is mixed through the gear channel.
ok... now.. the ailerons work properly.. here's my problem.
how do I mix so both ailerons work like flaperons/spoilerons. I'm having a hard time making them work like flaps.. and because of that I'm having a hard time making them work like spoilerons ..
and finally I therefor can't mix spoilerons into the throttle.
If you use this mix on a five channel receiver i'd appreciate your help.

If you go to the Futaba website listed in the manual, I think there's some instructions for doing this.
Here's the link...

Paul........There is a mix called ele to flap. It works with 5&6 but........
You can only go flap or spoilerons. I tried to set mine up so my 3 pos switch would do both. top is flap and bottom is spoil. but for some reason when i make a mix to do it, it doest work. it works with the 6&7 but not the 5&6.

If you have any ? feel free to contact me.

got it thanks anyway.

I know a little late, but just incase you mix differently. I use on most planes Pmix 2 and 3 set up for ailerons, that way you can tailor each one with however much up or down flap for loops, whether inside or outside. set it up using switch C with Airbrake also if needed. Never done it using channel 5, so sounds like you got a grip on it, just thought I would add to the mix.

While the 9C allows you to use ch 5 instead of ch 6 for the flap servo, not all of the built-in functions recognize this. I consider this a bug, but when Futaba was contacted they seemed to think it a feature (ie, that you could use ch 5 at all). I don't remember exactly, but your problem sound familiar. They told me to use one of the Pmixes to make up for the lack of airbrake feature passed through.

Another thing to consider would be modifying the 5-ch Hitec. I have several old hitecs (555 or 535, I can't remember. Its the older of the two). The chip is actually a 6-channel chip, with only 5 channels brought out to the real world. Follow the signal lead fromt he plug block to the chip. Probably will find the next-door leg on the chip is unterminated. Cut the ch-5 leg loose, and jumper the ch 6 leg in, and you now have a 5-channel RX with 1,2,3,4,6. I needed to do this for my JR radio, which did not have this "feature".

Note my older 5ch Hitec does not work with the Futaba 9C. Apparently the bitstream is too long and synch gets lost. Hitec says buy a newer RX. Futaba says get a Futaba. I use them with my JR, and my 9C runs my Pico Stick. What a waste!

That's not a big deal I flew a Zagi hooked up to a 9Z.
