Stick Adjustments - FUTABA 9CAP Instruction Manual

Rudder-to-throttle mix: (HELI) adds throttle to counter the added load from increasing pitch of the tail blades,
maintaining a constant head-speed with rudder. (This is a minor effect and is not critical in most helicopters.) Not a
preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix.
Rx: receiver.
SAFE MODE: feature in snap roll programming that does not allow a snap roll if landing gear is lowered. See Snap roll.
Sailplane: glider, non-powered model aircraft type. See GLID / MODEL TYPE.

user movements. Also includes a servo test feature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .42
Servo reversing: see REVERSE.

Servo testing, servo display: See SERVO.
SET: to accept. Usually done by pressing and holding the dial when instructed.
Slave: channel that moves in response to the command of the master. See Programmable mix.
Slaving servos: see programmable mix, p. 59.
Slider assignability: sliders on side of radio, known as VR(D) and VR(E) in programming, may be assigned to control
channels 5-8 in AUX-CH, used as the primary control of a mix in programmable mixes, etc.
Slow: see Channel delay.
Smoke system: injects a specialized smoke oil into the hot exhaust to create air-show like smoke trails. . . . . . . . . . . .64
SNAP ROLL: (ACRO) combines rudder, elevator and aileron movement to cause the aircraft to snap or spin at the flip of a
switch. 9C offers 4 separate snaps with 1 or 2 switches used for selection. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .51
Speed Flaps: main flaps on a 5-servo glider.
SPEED OFS (GLID): speed run offset programming. Offsets aileron/elevator/rudder settings to provide minimum drag for
high speed flight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .71

SWASH AFR: (HELI, CCPM types only) adjustment of the travel of all servos involved in the particular control's
movement only during the movement of that control. Ex: reverse the direction of movement of collective pitch while
not affecting the direction of movement of either cyclic control. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .79
Swashplate type: (HELI). Part of the model type selection process. Selects specific heli swashplate geometry, such as one
of four available types of "CCPM." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .77
Switch programmability: MOST features are reassignable to a variety of switches, including simply moving an
auxiliary control such as flaps from the stock dial to a switch or other location. See AUX-CH.
Synthesized module/receiver: The 9C is compatible with the R309DPS Futaba synthesized receiver that can be used on
any 72MHz channel. There is not a synthesized transmitter module that is safe/FCC certified/approved for use with the
9C at the time of this printing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10
