So after a year and a half of faithfull service I wadded up my Raptor on Saturday... I've always said destruction is an oppertunity for an upgrade, so I got myself a Vibe 50! I was wondering if anyone out there is flying 140 CCPM on a 9C Super? I've built mine for 140, finished the air fram last night, and will be installing the electronics tonight and tomorrow. The 9c Super manual shows what looks like a 140 set up but I'm not sure if mixes are still required.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd really appericate it..

Simple suggestion, crash your Futaba radio and upgrade to a JR 9303.

I found out that the 9C Super does support 140 CCPM with swash setting SR3H. Here's the thread: http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t434692p1/
Thanks!

The Vibe 50 kit comes with the parts necessary to use either 120 or 140 CCPM.
Sorry you waded up the Raptor both the Vibe is the wise way to go.

Well the Vibe is complete and ready to fly. As soon as my blades get here, and my paint guy finishes the canopy she'll be in the air! I CAN'T WAIT!!

My paint guy has had my canopy for a month now! he's a friend so I know I'm not getting screwed, I told him to take his time and come up with something good! But I did get another canopy to fly with!

Thank you! I'm trying to convince Clint (my painter) to start painting more canopies! He unbelievably talented! Take a look at some of his work here…

Yea, I know - I know! I'm gonna get a new radio in October as a birthday present to myself. Probably a 12FGH, haven't made up my mind yet.
