9ZA World Championship II Series

Model Airplane News, Oct 2000 by Chianelli, Chris

Futaba's new 9ZA World Champion II (FUT9000) Series radios are on the cutting edge of technology, and these new versions feature more advances than ever. Futaba has incorporated modelers' suggestions into making these systems the most userfriendly, top-of-the-line radios yet. The new features include:

Gimbals on the 92 Series WCII radios are beveled on top to provide a more sensitive surface for precision control.

The inside switches now offer a third position that allows fliers to add a third flight condition.

Switches also featune a stronger base, which makes them more durable and less prone to breaking off.

The 1500mA receiver battery and 1100mA transmitter battery that come with 9Z Series WCI radios are much more powerful than the 1000mA and 700mA batteries in the original systems.

The 9ZA (airplane) and 92H (hell) radios are available with transmitter, RX and TX batteries and carrying case only; this allows modelers to customize their flight-pack systems. These radios can be coupled with special servo combinations to appeal specifically to scale, IMAC and heli fliers.

The synthesized versions (92AS and 9ZHS) allow pilots to fly on any 72MHz frequency without changing crystals and include an R309DPS receiver and frequency module; packs for these systems include S9101 or S9202 servos.
