Heading-hold gyro: Gyro that specifically measures the unwanted deflection angle and compensates until a corresponding angle
has been returned. See
Gyros.
HELI
: Model type, rotary wing. See
MODEL TYPE
.
Helicopter radio: Transmitter that includes helicopter-friendly switch and control layout and sufficient programming to
at least support a 5-channel helicopter. The 7CA and 7CH radios both contain all needed programming. The 7CH has a
more heli-friendly layout (through switch positioning and no ratchet on throttle for easier hovering)
High Rate: See
D/R,EXP
.
Hover: To maintain a stationary position relative to a point on the ground.

IDLE-UP
: Separate condition created to allow inverted and other types of flight with a helicopter not easily achieved in
the normal condition. Note: the idle-ups are activated by activating their throttle curves. Also note that
OFFSET
is
available to create separate trims within each condition. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .69
INH
. Inhibit: Makes a feature inactive/unable to be used. When a function is inhibited, it cannot be used even if the assigned
switch is ON. Turns off functionality without losing any settings. Only visible in specific features.

Inverted: To fly a model upside-down.
Inverted flight control programming: Not available in the 7C. Most modelers no longer use this "crutch" to fly inverted,
instead learning to recognize the model' s behaviors when inverted and compensate appropriately.
Kill switch: (1) Throttle cut switch to close carburetor (see
THR-CUT,
p. 32). (2) gasoline ignition engine kill switch
which removes spark to the plugs to stop the engine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .56
