FUTABA 9Z
V
effective stick mode change can be achieved through the 9Z's software as the controls
are fully assignable.
Figure 41 Resistor or short for Mode/Version change
The resistor in Figure 41 can be changed as below to ensure the transmitter defaults to
correct version and stick mode:
1.
No Resistor (open circuit), results in stick mode 1, T9ZHP (helicopter)
2.
68K Resistor (labelled 683), results in stick mode 2, T9ZHP (helicopter)
3.
18K Resistor (labelled 183), results in stick mode 1, T9ZAP (air)
4.
Short (labelled 000), results in stick mode 2, T9ZAP (air)
A complete hardware reset is required to effect the change (see Section 3.12) and, in
addition, you will need to swap the ratchet and restrictors on the throttle stick if changing
mode (see Section 3.4 "Front face controls, gimbals, and POTs"). The restrictors limit
the travel of the throttle stick and therefore, you must remember to swap these over.
Whilst it is possible to add "Snap Roll" switches to the back of a 9ZHP to effect a full
hardware conversion to 9ZAP, this is complex and beyond the scope of this manual.
However, a simple solution exists. It is suggested that you refer to the 9Z operation
manual and emulate this behavior using the 9Z software mixes and the existing 9Z
toggle switches.
4.6. Upgrading to 2.4GHz and Telemetry
There are many different aftermarket solutions for upgrading your 9Z to 2.4GHz and
telemetry. The most important thing when choosing your 2.4GHz upgrade is the price of
the associated receiver. You'll only need one 2.4GHz transmitter module, but you'll be
buying that make of 2.4GHz receiver again and again (there is no real compatibility
between manufacturers), so you want the receivers to be as inexpensive as possible. I
have always bought Futaba (£60 a receiver) and I used to be very nervous about the
"Chinese" 2.4GHz offerings (£5-£15 a receiver). Now I would never recommend paying
