Hi,

I have a Robbe/Futaba FX-14 that I bought some years ago.
As far as I can tell this was no runner on the market because it's virtually
impossible to find anything about it.
I do find lot on the FX-18 which seems to be the later and better version.

My questions are:
-What is the actual difference between the FX14 & the FX-18?
-My manual mentions a PC interface, anyone know how this works?

Many thanks in advance!

Björn Johansson

Hi all,

I've got an original 9ZAP and would like to convert it to 3S lipo tx pack. Anyone done this? Will the tx support the extra volt of a charged pack? Or, will it fry it?

Hello everyone, i have just bought a t7cap tx that i want to use to control my
various electric airplanes and helicopters.    My question is if i bought a non
futaba rx,that was had a futaba shift, like a GWS R6nII which is a 6 channel,
single conversion rx and installed my dual channel crystal in it, would it work
properly???   Or would i have to buy a dual channel rx, or could i change the tx
to a single conversion??    I did read through some old posts, but i wasnt to
positive after reading if this would work.

thanks for any help....

Yes.. it's the Futaba T6EX FASST  (2.4ghz) tx/rx combo.

but.. my tx/rx came with the R606FS receiver.. (which is now discontinued).

Shortly after I purchased my Futaba T6EX tx/rx combo from Tower Hobbies... they
discontinued the 6 channel "full range" receiver that came with the radio. They
have a "micro plug" receiver, but, that doesn't do me much good, as I don't have
ANY servo's with micro plugs, nor do I see myself buying any in the near or
distant future, just to use with THIS radio. And I really don't want to go spend
$100 on a 7 channel "full range" receiver.

Maybe i'm just not looking in the tight places.. but does anyone sell the 6
channel "full range" receivers for the FASST 6 channel Futaba radio's..? Or am I
up a creek without a paddle.. so to speak..??

A concerned Futaba owner...

Subject: [futaba owners] 9cap Question

I have had this Futaba 9CAP radio for a few years but am just now
starting to use it. I am having a problem with the elevator channel.
I cannot get the elevator to move more than a few degrees in either
direction. I have checked with multiple receivers and servos so I
assume it is operator error on radio configuration. Under D/R, EXP I
select Channel 2, when I move the elevator control stick full
deflection, the graph only moves a few pixels left and right.

D/R is 100%, 100%
EXP is 0%, 0%
SW1 is A
SW2 is *

End Point: all channels are 100/100
Sub Trim: all channels are 0
Trim: I've done a reset, all channels are 4(0)

I've deleted all models but still no change.

I'm lost. Any suggestions for me? I finished my plane, I need to go
crash it.

thanks,
Carl

Either do a full memory reset or create a brand-new model and see what
happens.  Something is definitely set up improperly.  Did you check
the ATV?  How is it set?  Any mixers turned on?

You certainly have something set that is inhibiting the elevator
channel.  If it cannot be located in the programming, it is entirely
possible that there's something wrong in the hardware.  Perhaps a bad
stick pot, possibly bad wiring, and so on.  You'd then need to send
the transmitter to be serviced.

That was the problem. All models have now been copied into Super 9C
camPAC, then transferred over to 10C sucsessfully!

I do need to go through ALL settings on both TX's, to be sure the 10C
is set same as the Super9C before flying season starts.

Thank-you VERY much!

Once again;
I have a Futaba Super 9C transmitter. I'd like to copy models into it's
own camPAC, so I can transfer them over to my 10C transmitter. The
Super 9C will NOT allow me to copy models into any upper model

Subject: [futaba owners] Super 9C camPAC model copy questions

I have a Futaba Super 9C transmitter. I'd like to copy models into it's
own camPAC, so I can transfer them over to my 10C transmitter. The
Super 9C will NOT allow me to copy models into any upper model
settings.

When I go to copy from lower models (1-12) to upper models (13-18)
[camPAC], it won't allow such - it won't show upper models beyond 12 in
the Copy area.

I'm assuming that in order to copy any models from the Super 9C -to-
the 10C, I need to first get the models on the Super 9C into the camPAC
module (13-18), correct?

How do I do both issues?
