Futaba 7C 2.4GHz - Manual (Page 32)

Throttle cut (TH-CUT) (ACRO/HELI): Provides an easy way to stop the engine by flipping a switch (with T HROTTLE S TICK
at idle). The movement is largest at idle and disappears at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. In HELI, there is an
additional setting, TH-CUT See p. 66.
*Normally, a setting of 10-20% is sufficient. Viewing the carburetor barrel until it fully closes is adequate to get an approximate setting; then test with
engine running to confirm.
