Default Another quick question

Just want to be sure but this was brought to my attention, and I think I need to set up my throttle cut buttons. But should my heli be cutting the engine when I move the throttle completely down to the bottom all the way? Because mine does that and have kind of wondered what the throttle cut was for. Then I read the Raptortechnique web site. So I am going to set my throttle cut. I want to be sure I am doing the right thing.

With a transmitter that has a t-cut button the typical setup is to adjust the throttle so the engine will be idling when the Tx stick is all the way down. From there t-cut will completely close the carb off. Review your Tx owner’s manual to set up the t-cut because you can set percentages adjusting the right amount of servo travel for proper operation.

Alright BillyGoat. I will. Yeah I was on that raptortechnique site and they were talking about setting the travel of the serve or something like that were I move it all the way to the top and set at 80 percent, then move it all the way to the bottom and set at 80 percent, then setting the throttle cut to 20 or something. I am going to set it up tonight when I get home, and re read the setup for that. Its like a lot of things I did not understand and now some many different things are coming clear. One of these days when I learn to fly it, I will start setting up the mixture where you mix one servo to act with another. I know this can make turning left and right easier.
