Can I copy a model from my 9Z(A or H) P radio to my 9Z World Cup radio using
the campac, or vice versa?
What does "Limit Mode" mean in the ATV function of my radio?
Does my radio have a lithium battery to store all my programming, or how is this
data stored? Do I need to service this memory in any way?
I am thinking of purchasing an aftermarket Tx module for my module radio. Is
this OK to do? Does this affect my warranty?
If I am using the trainer function of my 9Z, does my radio's auto-shut-off feature
know it? Or do I need to turn off auto-shut-off while I'm instructing?
How do I set up a condition on my 9Z?
I want to change the operation speed of one of my servos (for example, slowing
the opening of my gear doors). How can I do this?
Can you tell me the major advantages that this radio will offer me over the 8
channel?
I read somewhere the 8U super has 'FUNCTION' trainer capability and the 9Z has
a trainer function called 'mixer'. What does this mean? How does it differ from
other radios?
Please explain dual rates, exponential, AFR and ATV and how they are related.
Can I replace the antenna in my 9Z myself?
Can I unscrew the antenna from my 9Z?
I want to set up a throttle cut condition on my helicopter which only operates in
normal, not in any of my other conditions. How can I do this? (I am afraid I'll
bump the throttle cut when reaching for certain other switches in inverted flight.)
I was using my radio, and suddenly my throttle servo went to idle. If I pull my
throttle stick all the way back and then move it again, it works for a while and
does it again. Am I doing something wrong?
What is 'battery failsafe'? What does this mean? How does it work?
Can I use the PA2 in conjunction with FailSafe on my PCM transmitter to help
protect my airplane in the event of interference?
I want to move a function from one control input to a different one. For example,
I want to move flaps from the slider onto the throttle stick on a 2 servo glider.
How can I do this?
How do I program a four-servo delta wing setup on the 9Z? I want to make the
two servos in each wing should act as both elevator and aileron.
I am interested in using conditions, but what about my trims? If I trim the model
in one condition, will the trim 'follow' through all conditions or do I have to retrim
in each condition? Also, what if I need a difference in trim (like an offset)
between one condition and the next, but then want to have any changes I make in
any condition follow from then on?
How do I delete a condition or a whole model out of the Campac?
How do I start a brand new model in my Campac? I can't seem to select any of the
units in the Campac and start to edit it to make it a model?
