Radio System FAQ
I want to set up a throttle cut condition on my helicopter which only operates in normal, not in any of my other conditions. How can I do this? (I am afraid I'll bump the throttle cut when reaching for certain other switches in inverted flight.)
The standard throttle cut function is set from the Model Menu and all the functions listed on the Model Menu are not "condition" switchable so it can't do specifically what you're requesting. There are several ways you CAN achieve this, however.
First, you can set the minimum stick position above which the throttle cut function will not operate. For example, you can set it to a point where the throttle cut will not operate if the stick is any place above about 1/8 throttle. This way, unless you do a lot of full throttle inverted work, even if you accidentally bump the switch, you shouldn't have a problem.
Second, you can simply set up a mix in your base condition which offsets throttle to whatever negative percent will shut off your engine without overcamming your servo (you'll need to experiment to find this point).
(You could create a similar mix, also, for idle down by simply setting the % for the throttle to decrease and again experimenting until it idles your engine down to the desired point.)
