The user interface (WIN CE) transfers the raw settings to the
non-volatile memory of the flight control uprocessor, that's it.

Question about the two processors.
One for the flight controll?
One with the Windows CE?
If the windows goes down (windows will go down sooner or later), Then your
flight processor looses the other programs and mixes and leaves you
hangin? Crashing?
Better be quick. What do YOU Do? What do YOU Do.

A short tale explaining why I will not buy Futaba gear, no

In the early 90’s Futaba introduced what looked like a
fabulous value, a five-channel PCM radio that cost close to $250. I bought two,
and another member of our club bought three. Everything was fine until

For those interested :

The biggest problem with the new brand F radio is that it comes from Futaba.

Let me make some comments.
First, Windows CE ONLY runs the GUI and does NOT run the actual flight
processor. That is a propriety Futaba processor, just like what is in use
Also from the web site:
a.. The 14MZ will have dual internal processors! One uses the Windows CE
operating system and functions as the brain for the 14MZs operating,
communications, and programming functions. The other is a Custom Futaba
Processor that will manage all of its flying functions.
If you read the fine print on the web page under "Duel Internal
Processors" - the Futaba processor deals with "flight control" functions,
and "setup and programming" is handled by CE
