T6K versus T16SZ throttle/motor cut
I have upgraded from a T6K to a T16SZ transmitter and gradually moving my electric planes to the new system. On the T6K tx I use the Throttle Cut in Mode ESC, Rate 0%, THR 4% and Switch SWA down. The T6K has a two step safety feature which prevents the motor from starting unless the throttle stick is in a fully down/off position. On the T16SZ I have substituted Throttle Cut with the Motor function (page 151) operated from switch SA. This works in a similar fashion except it lacks the T6K's built-in safety feature. If you accidentally knocked switch SA then the motor will power up at whatever position the throttle stick is set at. I hope I have explained my issue clearly enough to for you to understand.
Is there a way to get the T16SZ to mimic the T6K's ESC Throttle Cut extra safety feature ?

I use conditions
I set up a zero throttle curve in the default condition.
Then I set an on/off switch for it.
All my flying conditions require enabling that condition AND switching the motor feature to allow the throttle to be active.
So throttle is dead at start up. THen I need to move a switch to enter a flying condition and also turn the motor on in the motor menu.
OR you can use a dual rate set to zero flat across throttle curve. That way you have to enable the motor in the motor menu AND move the dual rate to have an active throttle.

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply.
I've tried the first option you described, I have two conditions MotorOff (zero throttle curve) & MotorOn (normal throttle curve) controlled by a rotary dial LD with wide hysteresis to make it unlikely to accidently alter this in flight.
Trying to get my head around the second option you described (...OR you can use a dual rate set to zero flat across throttle curve, etc ). If I managed to set this up .... would it mimic the way the T6K's ESC throttle cut works ?
