Got an Optic 6, but I am having trouble with throttle setting on my plane. from 0 to 50% throttle setting on the stick, there is no servo movement. The carb remains tightly closed. At 51% the throttle servo jumps the carb to about 1/3 open. From 51% to 100% on the stick, the servo transitions as it should.
From 100% down, the servo responds as it should, until it hits 50%. Then it beeps once and the servo jumps and closes the carb. Once again, below 50% on the stick, there is no throttle servo movement.
I am pulling my hair out. I never had anything like this on my Futaba.

After over 8 hours of messing with this, I took the back off. My thinking was it had to be an issue with the Throttle Kill Switch. So, I unplugged it. What do you know, problem fixed.
Of course that means I have no kill switch. Any suggestions? The switch looks mechanically okay. It pops up and down like you would expect.

Did the button seem to be sticking when it was installed in the transmitter? Email me directly and I can send you a new throttle cut setup.
