I have a Futaba 9C that has the 2.4gig conversion module. I am trying to implement a throttle cutoff for my electric. That sort of function works well on the 8FG but I cannot get it to shut down the electric motor when I try to implement the same sort of cutoff with the 9C. Any hints or a detailed recipe available?

What is your THR-REV set to in the Stick mode menu?

Check this and change it, then try setting up the Throttle Cut again.

If this is not the problem, can you give us more detail?

Krysta,

The throttle channel is reversed. It has been necessary to reverse this channel for every esc that I have encountered to date.

Yes, that is normal with Futaba radios, but is the THR-REV set to reverse or normal in the Stick mode menu?

See page 31 of the manual if you are unsure what I am asking.

Krysta,

No, I have not done the procedure that is described on page 31 of the manual you referenced. I take it that that procedure is necessary to get the trim to work properly? If I do the procedure, it says that it will reverse the throttles on all models in the memory, not just the one I want to reverse. What happens to the nitro models in memory that use the standard procedure?

Thanks,

Bob

Krysta,

I have changed the throttle reverse per the instructions on page 31 of the manual per your suggestion. At this point the rate is set to zero and I get no impact when I switch on Throttle-cut. Do I need to change the rate or is there some other change that needs to be made?

Thanks,

Bob
