I dont know... Someone Emailed me a few weeks ago stating that it did not work and if I knew why? Of course I have no idea since I have never tried it on that model.

All I can say it try it if you want.

Hello there,

I have a 9zap WC series.

My issue is that when I bought the radio back in 99 I enter a password which I forgot and now I can't change the user name to something different.

Can yhou assist me on this ?

Best regards

p.s. Your videos about Trex are SUPERB, excellent job. Do they apply on my RTF?

[Finless]

If you forgot the passwrod then the ONLY way to reset it is to send it in our read my instructions for entering service mode!

Thanks a lot for your info but at your site the 9Z Service Screens link is not working...

I PM you with an attachment!

[Finless]

I fixed the link as they changed it on Model Gadgets.

I did not get a PM from you.

Bob,
First of all, thank you for all the technical videos you had posted and this thread. I have a Futaba 9Z which I would think will need some servicing soon due to age (7-yr old).

I have a question in the instruction as to how to pull up the service menu for the 9Z. It says to connect pin 2&3 to 7 then power ON the Tx. Do the pins have to be held this way (connected together) until I am done with the service menu; or, are the pins need to be released after the service menu is displayed?

Thanks,
Rico.

Based on what Bob said, it seems as if the pins need to be held connected so as they don't accidentally emit a pulse upon disconnecting.

[ricoalonso]

I see. Now I understand. Thank you 'jonphilli' for your input.

Rico.

[Finless]

Yes they need to be held the entire time!

Works for Futaba 10C as well. First screen wording little different for areo/heli type
ie A-2 now is A/Stk-2

Mine now is H/Stk-2

Old news maybe :D

[FenceMagnet]

I'd like to explore this on my 10C, but the links to roadrunner are broke... does anyone have a download of the web info that's gone?

[riccardoc]

The link does not work anymore. I tried to find a google cache but it did not have it.
Bob do still have the instructions?

[Finless]

CRAP..... I am working on the Web page. Seems Time Warner decided to migrate to a new system and my home page got dumped :(

I should have it up soon I hope.

Bob

[riccardoc]

no big deal, wanted to play with my 10C until your new videos are back up for the 10C... Killing some time :)

[Finless]

OK web page FIXED... I wil update the links where I can remember them!

Here is the NEW link
