Default RE: Hacker A-60 for Pattern / F3A

Thanks for the rundown Dave. I've got the Hacker and I initiate the ESC with the throttle and the throttle trim pulled all the way down. I then set the idle at about 500 rpm and leave it there throughout the flight. Reading the Hacker instructions, it sounds like the brake would engage only if I pulled the stick and the trim down to the initiation point and then the motor would stop either slowly or fast depending on the setting. There doesn't appear to be a means to set the brake trigger point independent of the motor off point. Does the CC work the same way? Do you fly with the throttle low end set to stop the motor? It is not clear how to make it engage on the last click of the throttle unless the trim is pulled back. Am I missing something?
