More value for the dollar — more possibilities for the pilot!

Most pilots never thought they'd need everything a 9-channel PCM can do. Now, they'll find it hard to believe the 9Cs can do so much. Possibilities:

  • For all: Use Futaba's unique Auxiliary Channel Screen to reassign control of any auxiliary channel function to a new switch, slider or knob—in a single step. Takes only seconds—and can also be used to eliminate an auxiliary function, and free up a channel for a custom mix.

  • For all: Fly with dual rates as usual—or enjoy triple rates simply by assigning the function to a 3-position switch.

  • For heli: Program a separate: 1) level of gyro sensitivity; 2) governor speed, and; 3) rate of servo travel for up to 4* conditions—and watch as the 9C automatically selects the right level/speed/rate when you change condition.
    * 5 conditions on gyro sensitivity.

Futaba 9C Push Botton Dial
Running your thumb around the rim of the dial moves the cursor to highlight a menu, function or setting. Push the dial—and you select it.
Futaba 9C Slider Switches
Slider switches on both sides of the case can be used without taking your thumbs off the sticks or your eyes off the action—sound cues confirm servo center. These fully proportional, sliders are assignable to any switch/auxilary channel function.
Futaba 9C Trainer Cord

A right-angle bend in the 9C's new-style trainer plug allows the rim around the RF module to protect it from port/plug damage.


Futaba 9C LCD Screen
The extra-large LCD screen makes all graphics easier to read, from servo travel to the 5-point curves for governor mixing and throttle.
Futaba 9C Optional CAMPac Module
With an optional CAMPac module, the 9C's 8-model memory can be expanded to 14 models. DATA COPY quickly reproduces existing setups for customization.
