Default RE: Throttle hold in Acro on 10c

One nice thing about electrics is that you know from the get go if your throttle is reversed. I mean, you're made aware of the problem. I was starting a profile plane one day that I assembled WAY too quickly. I had just rebuilt the motor so I was more worried about it than anything else. The throttle was reversed and it started going full-throttle at me. I literally dove out of the way, picked up my Tx and pulled to vertical on the plane's maiden flight with high rates on. Boy was that a fun experience [:@]. You can be sure I've triple checked every day since then.
