Throttle Cut (Acro Only)
Throttle Cut is a vital safety feature when flying glow or gas-powered models. This feature will command

servo to bring the engine to low-idle, or even shut it down.

CUT” and press the jog dial once to enter the activation menu.
2. Press the jog dial again to activate the menu.

servo when throttle cut is activated. Models will typically require
negative values to set a “kill engine” position. Ensure that the
selected position does not cause the throttle servo to bind or
place stress on the carburetor’s control arm.

switch menu.
