Elevator: surface which controls the model’s rate of climb or descent. Also called cyclic pitch on helicopters.
Elevator-to-airbrake mix: (
GLID
) used to allow the model to loop even tighter on elevator input by having airbrakes work
with elevators. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix. This is the default programming for one curve mix in
GLID
.
Elevator-to-fl ap mix: (
ACRO
/
GLID
) Used to apply fl aps along with elevators to increase lift, allowing modeler to fl y at
slower speeds, make tighter loops or turns, etc. Not a preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix. This is the default
setting of one mix in
ACRO
and
GLID
.
Elevator-to-pitch mix: (
HELI
) used to adjust pitch to counter the loss of angle of attack when elevator input is given. Not a
preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix. This is the default setting of one mix in
HELI
.
ELEVON
: fl ying wing confi guration with 2 servos working together to create both aileron and elevator action. See Twin
elevator servos. .................................................................................................................................................................... 56
Elevons: two surfaces, one on each wing, which work as both ailerons and elevators. See
ELEVON
.
END BUTTON: control button used during programming to return to previous menu or close menu altogether.
END POINT
: often abbreviated EPA. Adjusts the total travel in each direction of proportional servos regardless of their
control assignment. Ex: adjustment to
AIL
channel will adjust only the servo plugged into channel 1 even if being used
as one of two fl aperons or elevons. Note: End point is not an absolute; mixing can still drive the servo farther than this
setting. .................................................................................................................................................................................. 39

THROTTLE-CUT
.
EPA: see
END POINT
.
Error messages: warnings/cautions provided by the radio when potential problems may exist. ........................................ 24
Exponential (
D/R
,
EXP
): adjustment to the relationship of STICK MOVEMENT to servo movement, typically used to soften
overly sensitive models around center. ................................................................................................................................ 42
FASST: Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology
FailSafe (
F/S
): sets servo positions when interference is encountered or signal is lost. Available only in PCM transmission
mode. Also includes Battery FailSafe settings. .................................................................................................................... 50
FLAP1/2/3/4
: designation for the individual servos that are being commanded by the fl ap commands. Ex: when acting as
fl aperons, the two aileron servos are ailerons 1 and 2 and also fl aps 1 and 2 (unless you set their values to 0, then they
move only as aileron no matter what fl ap commands are given). See Twin aileron servos and Twin elevator servos.
Flap-to-aileron mix: (
ACRO
/
GLID
) used to create full span flap reaction in flight. Not a preprogrammed mix. See
Programmable mix.
This is the default setup of one mix in
GLID
.
Flap-to-elevator mix: (
ACRO
/
GLID
) used to counteract unwanted changes in pitch when fl aps are deployed. Not a
preprogrammed mix. See Programmable mix. This is the default setup of one mix in
ACRO
and
GLID
.
FLAPERON
: one servo on each aileron, plugged into channels 1 and 6, which operate both as ailerons and as fl aps. See Twin
aileron servos. ...................................................................................................................................................................... 51
FLAP-TRIM
: Adjustment of central position of fl aperons, default assigned to CHANNEL 6 KNOB. May also be used as
primary or only control of fl aperons acting as fl aps, or other mixes may be set up. See Twin aileron servos. .................. 53
Frequency: channel on which radio transmits. .................................................................................................................... 22
Frequency band: In the entire spectrum, transmissions are designated in terms of “frequency bands” which exhibit similar
properties. In the US, specifi c frequencies within the 72MHz band are regulated by the FCC to be used solely for remote
control aircraft. 50MHz band is available for model use by those holding a HAM amateur radio operator’s license. 75MHz
is solely for remote control ground models. 27MHz is legal for air or ground use. To change bands on the 9C, simply
purchase and install a module on the proper band. Receiver band MUST be changed by a service center. ....................... 22

ACRO
/
HELI
) see
THROTTLE-NEEDLE
