THR CUT Stops the engine safely and easily.(airplane and helicopter only)
Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the
engine. Generally speaking, modelers will do so
by flipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle.
The action is not functional at high throttle to
avoid accidental dead stick landings. The switch’s
location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults
to NULL.
Individually adjust the Throttle Cut activation
setting for each condition. (helicopter)
