INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba
®
9C series digital proportional R/C system. This system is extremely versatile and may
be used by beginners and pros alike. In order for you to make the best use of your system and to fly safely, please read this
manual carefully. If you have any difficulties while using your system, please consult the manual, our online Frequently
Asked Questions (on the web pages referenced below), your hobby dealer, or the Futaba Service Center.
Owner’s Manual and Additional Technical Help
This manual has been carefully written to be as helpful to you, the new owner, as possible. There are many pages of setup
procedures and examples. However, it need not be your sole resource of setup guidelines for your 9C. For example, pages
22-24 include setup instructions for a basic 4-channel airplane. The Frequently Asked Questions web page referenced
below includes this type of step-by-step setup instructions for a variety of other model types, including multi-engine,
complex gear installation, 7-servo aerobatic models, 140 degree CCPM, etc.
Due to unforeseen changes in production procedures, the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
Support and Service: It is recommended to have your Futaba equipment serviced annually during your hobby’s “off
season” to ensure safe operation.
