Aurora 9 and 9X TX - how do I porgram throttle kill/cut for a Electric Power Airplane
Just put together my first larger scale Electric Powered plane and using my Aurora 9 or my 9X TX to fly it.
Can anyone give me some detail/tips on how to set up the THROTTLE KILL/CUT function on my TX?
I do it all the time on Glow engines but it does not seem to work on EP when you do not have throttle servo.
What function should I use and how do I set it up?
Owners manual borders on 'useless' for me.
Any and all help appreciated,
Need a safe way to disable power while handling and moving the plane to/fro flight line directly from the TX. using TX switch.
Thanks!

On the Aurora 9 instead of a throttle cut use the throttle lock. Turn on the transmitter. Press ok to transmit. When the screens comes up press and hold the aircraft icon in the lower left of the screen. THRO Lock comes on just above the icon. Now you can move the controls all over even the throttle and it will not start. After landing press and hold and the throttle locks and you can handle the plane without worry of the motor accidentally switching on. Press and hold to remove the throttle lock.

A great tip!
I to this point have flown nothing but gas and glow and I have no problem setting up a throttle/ignition kill on these.
Ep was another problem and perhaps the simplest answer!
Tried it today and it was so simple it was incredible!
Showed the feature to 2 other, a Futaba guy and another Hitec fan and they were amazed.
Not sure how I missed ever finding this so many Thanks for helping me out!
