Discharging commander II
I just bought a firebird commander II. When I discharge the battery and the propeller stops, if I push the throttle up again the propeller continues to spin. Does this mean that the battery is still not discharged? How long should this take?

RE: Discharging commander II
what is happening is that that plane has a Low voltage cutoff safety. What this does it cuts power to your motor when you have drained your battery to a certain point so that way you will know that it is time for you to land. By cutting the engine you know to land and it leaves you enough power to control the model.
By throttling all the way down and comming back up resets this feature and allows you to add power if you need it to correct on a landing.
does that make sense?
