Idle Down (Air Only) - FUTABA 8FG SUPER Instruction Manual

IDLE DOWN
The Idle Down function lowers the engine to
its idle position. Like Throttle Cut, this is usually
accomplished by flipping a switch with the throttle
stick at idle. The action is not functional at high
throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch'
s location and direction must be chosen, as it
defaults to NULL.
● Select [IDLE DOWN] in the Linkage menu and
access the setup screen shown below by touching
the RTN button.
● Select the function name
and return to the Linkage
menu by touching the
RTN button.
