Could someone tell me if you can setup flightmodes with this radio, is this what the triple rates do. And what I mean by flightmodes is, when you flip one switch all your rates change, not just one. Thanks, Daz...

No, it will not do flight conditions like a 9ZAP will. You can however put your triple rates to one switch, in effect changing all the rates on one switch. A flight condition goes beyond this by allowing you to change mixes, expos, rates, throttle curves, etc etc etc with the flip of a switch. The switch assignability makes the 9C superior to the JR 8. Only in the ZAP is that kind of assignability really found, even the 10X has fixed switch positions.

So, can773 your saying I can have my plane with all surfaces on low rates, and flip just one switch and all my rates will go to higher rates, without flipping any other switches? Daz...

Yes, just select the same switch and position for all the rates. Voila everything changed on one switch. The 8U can sort of do this right now but is limited to which switch, the 9C can place this function on almost any available switch.

Thanks,can773. One last question, does the 9CA have throttle hold, and throttle cut?

My Feedback: (1)

Throttle cut yes, but I am not so sure about throttle hold.

The 9CAP has "throttle cut", and it has a function that's called "idle down", this is in the acro mode.

Throttle hold is found in the heli mode. Specifically the settings are found in the "heli specific"advanced menu. A few more nights reading my manual and I can tell you more. I've been paying more attention to the acro functions.

The diff in the CAP and CHP is in the default settings, both have same software/programming included though.
There are also 3 basic modes on each, Acro, Glider, Heli.

Yes all switches are assignable. If your dual-rate function is assigned to a 3position switch it thereby becomes triple-rate, so assign all surfaces to same switch and you have one switch for all.

This can also be done on the 6XA's and the 6XAS's though, and the 8U's as well, as far as having all rates on one switch.

Dgrant, I have the 6XAS and you cant assign the switches to this radio, or am I wrong. I have read the manual from front to back and didnt see any mention of this on the 6XA. Daz...

What Dgrant was saying is that with the 6XAs you can assign all dual rates to one switch. He wasn't saying that you could assign it to any switch, which you can't. It has to be the switch that is already programmed, but you can put elevator, rudder and aileron D/R on that one switch.

How do you put all 3 on one switch, with the 6XAS? Thanks, DAZ...

Cool!! Thanks Maverick, I didnt know this radio could do that!

DGrant

My Feedback: (4)

Mav, thanks, that's exactly what I meant.
Dazz, did you get it figured out? Hope this stuff helps.

Dazzler

My Feedback: (6)

Yes, I've got it now. Thanks guys!!! Daz...

No problem. In my opinion the 6XAs is a fine radio for aircraft flying. I just sold my and replaced it with a 9C.

DGrant

My Feedback: (4)

Oh yes, the 6XAS is a leader in it's class. I sold one of mine XAS's and replaced it with the 9C though due to a need for the triple rates, timers, and several other features for my Giants. I still have one XA and one XAS, and probably will keep them around for a while.
I know for fact I won't need anymore radios for a looong time.
Glad you got things straightened out Dazz.
