Throttle Hold

This function sets the throttle cut position during

an auto rotation dive. The throttle position can

also be set to an idling position separate from the

throttle cut position. Setting of these 2 positions

can be selected by switch. This allows use for

switching during training.

Example of use

● Since Throttle Hold has 2 modes (Cut) and

(Idle), it is convenient to use it in the Idle

mode during training and in the Cut mode

when stopping the engine.

Note: When throttle hold is set to ON in the normal

condition, throttle hold acts and the throttle servo

is deactivated. Always set throttle hold to ON in the

hold condition.

● Return to Model Menu

● Touch the [Throttle Hold] button in the Model

Menu to call the setup screen shown below.

●Set to the engine stop position.

●Select the SW to be used.

●Set to the idling position.

Setting method

● Operation mode selection

Manual mode: The throttle hold function is

operated by switch operation only.

Auto mode: The throttle hold function operation is

linked to the throttle stick position.

Auto position setting: When the Auto mode was

selected, the throttle position (auto position) can

be selected. Move the throttle stick to the position

you want to set and touch the (auto position)

button.

● Hold position adjustment

Throttle Hold (Cut) sets the throttle cut position.

Adjust it so that the carburetor is full open.

Throttle Hold (Idle): Make this adjustment to

maintain idling for training. Adjustments can be

made based on the throttle curve idle position.
