5. What is FADEC?

Thank You Gaspar! Look forward to hearing from you.

here's an answer from Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FADEC

Regarding Q9,
Personal preference.
I have used several ways. I started by using the trim, which takes a couple of seconds to run. KISS. Then changed to a 2 position switch which is instant, but was worried that knocking it by accident in flight would be an instant deadstick.
I recently found a better way. On my Taranis Tx which has voice, I use switch SG, a 3-position switch.
I leave the throttle trim full up. I set TWO positions of the switch to RUN and the third to STOP.
I use the two end positions for switching on and off the engine, and I set the voice to tell me "throttle active" or "throttle disabled" in each position. If I accidentally move the switch to the middle position I get the "throttle active" voice warning which prompts me to put it back to the RUN end position. I have to move it twice, deliberately, with a voice warning half way, to shut down the engine.
On a Tx with sound I can recommend this system.
