Rev Max and Futaba 9c

[Magnasanz]

This is mainly a question about my 9c super hence posting in the Futaba section. I'm about to setup a Rev Max with a Futaba 9c Super and have a few questions. I am going to be using remote mode to calibrate and setup the RPM. I'd like it to be used on my Idle up switch eventually but there is one thing i can't figure out how to do.

How do you setup different endpoints for the aux channel (Switch) based on its position? I want to be able to have normal mode - no limit(off), idle 1 - 1600rpm and idle 2 - 1850rpm.

I'm sure it's something i've overlooked in the menus but the instructions don't seem that great for both the revmax or the futaba :(

Hi, you have to assign in your switch menu(don't know the exact name anymore) and assign channel 7(if AUX revmax is in 7) to switch E.

in ATV menu, put endpoints of channel 7 to 95/95

then go to GOV menu, select channel 7(not 8), then go to next page(just scroll down) and select at the bottom Condition(you could also select switch E in stead of COND. but it should be the same), then there will come up above that:
NORM: ...%
idle up 1:...%
idle 2
idle 3


I've put Normal mode to 50%(that dissables it, green light off on the revmax). for idle1/2 green light should go on

idle up 1, move the percentage above 50% and you'll see that when in idle up you're headspeed will be limited(if you're on the ground at 0 pitch in idle 1). set the percentage to your liking of headspeed with a tacho.

Don't forget to calibrate first(Do this according to the manual), and see if everything works(green light goes on if you move stick above 25%throttle), see if failsafe is OK(check it after calibration).

You should be good to go

Select "Cond" as the switch and you will get selection on flight condition/idle-up!

[aamwood]

I have try to look over and over again but still did not find out that condition on the governoor menu, they only have (ACT), Rate up-50%,centre 84.5%,down 87%, it also didnot find out where was the norm,idl1,idl2,idl3 as maxime write on...Also in the gov menu
what cut-ch>ch7 and dir>+limit use for ? Thank you

At the bottom of the governor menu you have a line saying "SW>X" where X can be "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" or "Cond.". You get there through the up and down arrow keys on the right (beside the "wheel") and you change the activation switch through rolling the wheel.

Hope this helps.

TQ, i have go for what you told me yes i might be able to see a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h but no cond........my remote futaba 9chp super : :arggg:

Strange!

For a while I thought that maybe the activation state of the idle-up:s come into play (if they are inhibited or not) but not so, I checked both my TX:es... On my 9CHP (non Super) I have the behavior you describe regardless of if the idle-up:s are enabled or not, on my 9CHP Super I have the "Cond." choice regardless of if the idle-up:s are enabled or not. Wonder why your TX don't!

in your GOV menu you have in fact 2 "pages"

first page says channel 7 of 8 and + etc...

and switch ...

to get to the second page of the menu, you have to scroll down like if you would go from channel selection in the menu to cut-switch, and then you have to puch once more down to scroll. you'll access the second page where it'll say the things I've described.

on the bottom of the second page you have a little line, and you select it and change it to Cond.

the lines above will change to

Norm:...¨%
idle 1:...%
idle 2:...%

etc...

you put the values on all of em to 50% with your normal throttle curves. then you put it in idle 1 for example with 0 pitch and turn up the percentage to 55 % or so. you'll see that your rpm will lower of your motor even though you didn't touch your throttle stick. now set the percent to the headspeed of your liking.

you still have to go in the switch assignment menu(don't know the name anymore) in your radio and select switch E as channel 7, and revmax needs to be plugged into channel 7 of receiver.

Sorry kind of late get back to you,
I already check my friend remote, it looks same as mine, still cannot see the cond menu, yes in gov menu they have 2 pages.. first page they have (ACT or INH) then rate up>..,center>..,down>..,then SW>a,b,c,d,etc.Second page mix>ACT, cut-CH>Ch7, Dir>+Limit, no more.
Do they have relation between ATV and Gov, Which one control the Rpm ?
On my ATV ch 7 i put 95-95, should i change that number ?Did i missing something in my remote that make me can't see the Cond menu.TQ : :arggg:

You will find the "Condition" menu that is being described in the Governor Menu of the 9C Super. This is in fact on page 1 or 2 in this menu. BUT this will only be shown if you have CUT on channel 8. If you leave your Cut on channel 7, it will not come up for you.

I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support team at 217-398-8970 opt 2, or via fax at 217-398-7721.

Yes, i have found the cond on the Governoor menu, But i still confused with Cut function, Did they affect between ch 7 & 8, Can u please explain what does mean cut-ch8, also cut-swA. Tq

[aamwood]

Yess, I found it... if that so, do i have to change the setting calibration to ch 8 ? or any explanation on that menu ? Cause i have try to fly the bird yesterday with using switch c with the setting 65-85, and it flies perfect, but when i using the governoor menu to take over rpm, the heli rpm looks coughing... :arggg: TQ
