That's my first step even before I bind it. Good job James!

[@BDTennessee]

Same for me too,Vic!

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Have always used throttle cut, great habit to have on any plane, thanks for sharing James👊🏼👊🏼

[@rcupgrader908]

Rc airplanes are so much fun!

[@tughillrc6327]

Excellent Video. Good job James!!

I wonder if that works when you get curious of what demo means in the menu and again when you forget what demo means. I'll have to test it with the prop off next time , if I remember !

Rc model plane tips, very important, safety, propeller, engine cut, throttle cut switch, there will be blood.

I'm having trouble getting the TC set with differential thrust. The motor on the throttle channel shuts down, but not the other one.

I have that kill switch on the one I use for arming the copters. But just today I had a little "incident" with that: I plugged in the battery with the kill switch active and then flipped it and the motor started running at the lowest throttle position. The ESC took the kill-position, which was at about -115% to -120% from glow engines, as throttle zero. But the real zero was at -100%. So when I armed the engine, the ESC recognized that as ~15% and started spinning. You also have to make sure, the position of the kill-switch is the same as throttle zero to not get a surprise 🙄

What is the difference between that and an Arming switch?

[@MotionRC]

Same idea.

anyone else find it annoying you pay $800 for a radio and it's manual really doesn't show you how to use the radio? my Futaba manual basically walks you through it's menus without giving you any explanation of the settings or how to perform them to make it work. I have to look the stuff up on forums or youtube. and James still didn't show us how. yes, we know, all radios are different. but, they're basically close enough the same to figure it out seeing someone do it on another brand.

I made the mistake not setting up throttle hold and ended up in the hospital.

Set a throttle cut on all ELECTRIC aircraft. 😉 Still waiting to see you burn some fuel, James.

[@darkofc]

👍👍😊

[@22alexii]

so the guy talked on and on and on about adding the throttle cut; but never did show anything about how to actually set up the throttle cut switch. 3 wasted minutes just another excuse to get in front of the camera

As stated in the video. All protocols and all radios are different. I can't explain it for 100+ different radios and protocols (Futaba, Spektrum, JR, FRSky, etc, etc). This video is to help people who didn't even know you can set a throttle cut to make sure they do for their own specific radio.
