Default Cant shut engine off in flight?

During a contest yesterday we were to fly to altitude, kill the engine and land closest to a target. I had a diffucult time getting the engine to stop..
After always having problems with my TTPro .36 idleing, this new engine is a TTPro .61 and its running great. About two gallons through it and it Idles very low.
I'm still trying to run it rich, tons of fuel spitting out the exhast. The only problem was tring to shut it down in the air. even after adjusting my throttle end points on the radio it wouldnt shut down.
I had to climb hard and slam the throttle down. took me a couple of passes to do it...

I have no problem shutting down on the ground.
