2. Can I copy models from my older 9C into my new 10C?
   
   
3. Can I use a 72 MHz channeled or synthesized module with the 10C?
   
   
4. Can the 10C provide TRIPLE RATES?
   
   
5. Do the dials and sliders have markers for center?
   
   
6. How do I reset the system timer on the main screen?
   
   
7. How do I set up a heading hold gyro in a heli model? How about acro/glider models?
   
   
8. How do I turn off the dial which is affecting, for example, the channel 7 servo?
   
   
9. How to change modes (mode 1, mode 2, etc) or language?
   
   
10. I am thinking of purchasing an aftermarket TX module for my module radio. Is this okay to do? Does this affect my warranty?
    
    
11. I cannot shut off my throttle with the trim on my 10C. The trim lever seems to work at the top half of the stick not the bottom. How can I adjust this?
    
    
12. I want to be able to drop a set amount of flaps or elevators or both for certain flight conditions (such as launching a glider). Can my 10C do this?
    
    
13. I want to move a function from one control input to a different one. For example, I want to move flaps from the dial onto the slider on an aerobat. How can I do this?
    
    
14. I want to use my 10C to train, how do I let the student use all of the programming, mixes, etc that my radio has to offer? Also can this work as a Trainer with a 72MHz system?
    
    
15. If I remove my transmitter battery will I lose all my data? 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?
    
    
16. Is it possible to use the 3PK 2.4GHZ module system in the 10C or other such module based transmitters?
    
    
17. My radio's sticks don't operate right. For example, the throttle and elevator are crossed, or the rudder and aileron are crossed. What's wrong? What do I do?
    
    
18. Please explain dual rates/DR/AFR, exponential, and ATV/EPA and how they are related.
    
    
19. We have a very short runway at our field, how do I set my plane up to cut down on landing distance?
    
    
20. What do the sliders do?
    
    
21. When I turn on my radio, I get a warning which says (throttle cut, idle down, snap roll, airbrake, butterfly, inverted, throttle hold, or idle up). I've tried moving every switch on the radio, and I can change the error but not get rid of it. I cannot operate my radio. What do I do?
    
    
22. When using my 10C the lighted LCD dims right after I quit moving the stick. Can this be set to stay on?
    
    
23. Can the 10C be discharged through the charge circuit as the 9C can?
    
    
24. I want to make sure that Idle 3 will not work if I hit that switch while in Idle up 1 or Idle up 2. Do I do this with the Logic switches?
    
    
25. Can you give me detailed information on how to set up my 2.4GHz FASST receiver in a full carbon plane?
    
    
26. I did not find the answer to my question here. How do I get further assistance?
    
    

Airplane Programming

1. Can I set up "air braking" with my twin rudders on my twin tail model?
   
   
2. Can I use a gyro in an airplane? When is it a good idea?
   
   
3. Can this radio do 'crow'?
   
   
4. Does the 10C have a Speed In/Speed out option like the 12 and 14 channel radios?
   
   
5. How to Get the Best Performance from Your 2.4GHz FASST Aircraft Receivers.
   
   
6. How about setting up a complex 7-servo or 8-servo aerobat on the 10C with 2-each flap and aileron servos such as the Hanger 9 Ultra Stick?
   
   
7. How can I put expo or a curve into my throttle channel to give me linear throttle reaction?
   
   
8. How can I set up a 6-servo glider to use outer ailerons, inner ailerons and flaps or spoilers?
   
   
9. How can I vary my onboard glow with throttle position?
   
   
10. How do I get aileron differential WITH flaperons?
    
    
11. How do I program a four-servo delta wing setup? I want to make the two servos in each wing act as both elevator and aileron.
    
    
12. How do I set up 4 aileron servos on a biplane?
    
    
13. How do I set up a heading hold gyro in a heli model? How about acro/glider models?
    
    
14. How do I set up flaperons with a 6+ channel receiver?
    
    
15. How do I set up the 9C for a Delta (flying) wing with Dual rudders? Can I use the dual rudders as airbrake?
    
    
16. I am flying a Turbine jet and I would like to be able to be able to raise my retracts up and down with my channel 7 gain knob I am using for my Gyro. Yet I would also like to shut this off whenever I want. Can I do this?
    
    
17. I am setting up a Delta/Flying Wing plane with my 10C and I am having problems getting the control surfaces to function correctly, can you explain any easy way to do this?
    
    
18. I am setting up a twin engined-model and want to be able to command the engines separately at certain times. Specifically, I always want the engines to respond only to the throttle stick (never any knobs or other items), and I want the left engine to operate alone if the C switch is in the up position with the right engine at idle; the left and right engines operating together in the C center position, and the right engine to operate alone in the C down position, with the left engine at idle. Can I do this?
    
    
19. I am setting up an Ultra Stick with my 10C radio. All of your current FAQ's only tell me how to set this up only with a Y-harness for the elevator servos, but I want to use the Ailevator function, with two separate elevator servos so that I can use them separately also. Can I do this?
    
    
20. I am using a 4-channel receiver and I have my ailerons in channels 1 and 4, I can do a mix and my aileron action right, but I don't know how to get elevator to flap and flap action with my 9C, can you help me?
    
    
21. I am using the 7- or 8-servo aerobat FAQ for my 10C and assigning channel 7 to Idle control on the VR-A, how can I set up for Throttle Kill and Idle Down for both engines on the same switch?
    
    
22. I want to create a mix which is only active if my throttle is above a certain point. For example, I only want my smoke to come on if my throttle is above 1/2 to avoid killing the engine. But I want this assigned to a switch so that I can shut this mix off at will. How can I do this?
    
    
23. I want to have a "throttle lock" that will prevent the accidental bumping of the throttle stick causing my motor/engine to increase in speed. How can I do this?
    
    
24. I want to set up a safety on one of the auxiliary features on my model. For example, I want my speed brakes to fully retract automatically if my throttle goes above 1/3 throttle (I'd be making a go-around) to avoid the possibility of stalling the plane. How can I do that?
    
    
25. I want to set up "Spoilerons" on my 10C, but I would like them activated on a switch so that I have Flaperons normally but the Spoilerons when I flip the switch, can you help me?
    
    
26. I want to use twin aileron servos (flaperons) with a 5 channel receiver, so my second servo must be plugged into channel 5 not channel 6. How do I do that?
    
    
27. I would like to have some down flaps assigned to my throttle, but only want them active at a certain point, but I would also like 100% down flap at full throttle. But I also want to be able to shut this mix off with a switch, is this possible?
    
    
28. I would like to set up my Ultra Stick to have my elevator lower when I lower the flaps. I have already set up everything per the FAQ and also did the Full Span Ailerons per the FAQ and it works fine, but how do I set up my elevator?
    
    
29. My ailerons work fine, but when I turn the flap knob they both move as ailerons. What's wrong?
    
    
30. We have a very short runway at our field, how do I set my plane up to cut down on landing distance?
    
    
31. What is the easiest way to do twin elevator servos?
    
    
32. When using the elevon feature of my computer radio, I give elevator input and the surfaces move like ailerons. When I give aileron input they move like elevators. What's wrong?
    
    

Helicopter Programming

1. Can you give a basic setup for 140CCPM?
   
   
2. How can I fly a non-CCPM heli on a 5-channel receiver?
   
   
3. How can I set up a 45-degree CCPM?
   
   
4. How do I set up a heading hold gyro in a heli model? How about acro/glider models?
   
   
5. I am having problems with my 120 CCPM set up. All the servos seem to be going the right way, but my pitch is still backwards. What's wrong?
   
   
6. I am new to helicopters and I see a lot of swash types to choose from. What do they mean and which one do I use? Also, what is eCCPM?
   
   
7. I have my gyro mounted onto a graphite plate in my chopper and am seeing some slight drifting. Is there anything I can do about this?
   
   
8. I want to set up a throttle cut condition on my helicopter that only operates in normal, not in any of my IDLE UPS. How can I do this? (I am afraid I'll bump the throttle cut when reaching for certain other switches in inverted flight.)
   
   
9. I'm fairly new to helicopters. How do I know what servos to use?
   
   
10. My model is CCPM but one of the functions is backwards. For example, my elevator servo is forward on my swash plate, not aft, so the elevator function works backwars. How do I fix that?
    
    
11. My throttle trim, throttle hold, or throttle curve functions seem to be working backward. For example, my trim only affects the high end not the low end. What's wrong?
    
    
12. How do I keep from overdriving my throttle servo when using an elevator-to-throttle or aileron-to-throttle mix?
    
    
13. The CCPM management is not correct in my radio, as my servos do not work in parallel. It must be in the programming, what is wrong with my radio?
