RE: Eclipse Throttle Lock?
I experienced the inadvertent throttle lock issue today. I am still learning and passed the transmitter to the instructor, at some point the Lock button must have been pushed. We had no idea, just thought the throttle had broken etc.. Fortunately the plane was landed safely, we flew it until it ran out of fuel then landed dead stick. I must add, it was a windy day and the throttle locked at a high power setting, this could have easily ended in a crash.
After landing I investigated and figured out it was the Throttle lock. The dozen or so club members present all agreed there should be a way to disable this function. Most also, didn't think it was good to allow the throttle to be locked at full or any where above idle.
I believe I have the latest software verson 12 (QPCM).
Has this issue been addressed in this version? If not can you please add the ability to disable the Throttle lock in the next software update?
Can I send the radio back to HiTec to have the button disconnected?
