Sorry.....I typed the wrong information above. I'm using Mode 2 (glider mode) which, according to a chart in the Jive Pro owner's manual, provides full control over the throttle from low to high, braking and motor shutoff upon receipt of low flight pack battery voltage. I don't want the motor to shut off...… just slow down so if I'm too far out, I can still have some power to make the runway. In addition, the manual doesn't describe how to configure/adjust the brake. If anyone is using a Jive Pro with brake and motor slow down with low flight pack voltage, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
