MODEL TYPE: sets the type of programming used for this model.
The 9C has 8 model memories, which can each support:
•
one powered aircraft (ACRO) memory type (with multiple wing and tail configurations. See twin aileron servos, twin
elevator servos, ELEVON, and V-TAIL for further information.);
•
two glider wing types (again with multiple tail configurations). See Glider MODEL TYPE for details, p. 68;
•
five helicopter swashplate types, including CCPM. See Helicopter MODEL TYPE for details, p. 77.
Before doing anything else to set up your aircraft, first you must decide which MODEL TYPE best fits this particular aircraft.
(Each model memory may be set to a different model type.) If your transmitter is a 9CA, the default is ACRO. If it is a 9CH,
the default is HELI(SW1).
ACRO is the best choice for most powered airplanes, but in some circumstances, GLID2FLP may be a better choice. ACRO
is usually a better choice because of functions it offers that the GLID types do not:
•
ACRO adds:
•
SNAP-ROLL
•
AILEVATOR (twin elevator servo support)
•
AIRBRAKE (a more assignable version of BUTTERFLY)
•
For fuel-powered airplanes: IDLE-DOWN, THR-CUT, THROTTLE-NEEDLE mixing and THROTTLE DELAY programming.
•
But ACRO lacks:
•
START and SPEED OFFSETS
•
Built-in programming which defaults outboard ailerons as flaperons and sets up two flap servos to
also operate as flaperons for a 4-trailing-edge-surface wing.

resets all data for the model memory, including its name.
