THROTTLE HOLD
6.8
The Throttle Hold function is designed to
hold the throttle servo in a specific
position during an autorotation. This is
very useful for practicing autorotation
landings. The throttle hold switch can be
programmed to one of the four toggle
switches. Throttle hold will always be
"On" in the forward switch position and
"Off" in the rear position.
