The "Throttle Cut" feature of the 6EXA operates if you quickly "blip" the trainer switch twice in succession. To transfer control to the student transmitter, you hold the trainer switch. Control passes to the student transmitter after about one second.
If you activate the trainer switch, hold it for a few seconds before you release it, you won't activate the "Throttle Cut" funciton.
It' still a dumb thing to put on the trainer switch. Why not put a button for the throttle cut.
There's 4 of them at our field and the same complaint is - when hooking up the buddy box and checking trims you'll kill it at at least once a session if not more.
It's one of those great ideas on paper that turns out not to work worth a *$&(#* in the field.
Remember the person who owns the 6EXA and knows about the throttle cut etc.. will be on the buddy box - more likely the person who is holding the 6EXA as an instructor doesn't own one themself - IE is not used to having the trainer switch as the kill switch.
If I could disable mine I would.
