Default RE: setting idle on electric model
Specific to the Jeti Spin 99…

At what point does the brake come on? Is it any time the motor RPM is exceeding requested RPM or does it only come on when the throttle stick is in the off position?

If the latter, then will not setting up an idle effectively disable the brake?

My last ten or so flights have been with the brake off and I don’t really see the need for an idle (or the brake!) RPM never drops below 1500 according to the data logger.
…although I did flop a stall turn or two
