Idle Management: Thr-Cut - FUTABA 7CAP Instruction Manual

Engine idle management: THR-CUT : functions which work with the digital T
consistent means of engine operation. No more fussing with getting trim in just the right spot for landings!
Throttle cut (TH-CUT ) (ACRO/HELI): provides an easy way to stop the engine by flipping a switch (with T
at idle). The movement is largest at idle and disappears at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. In HELI, there is an
additional setting, TH-CUT See p. 66.
GOAL of EXAMPLE:
Decrease the throttle setting (at idle) to
stop the engine with the flip of a switch.
(default: S A in the down
WITCH
position)
Where next?
*Normally, a setting of 10-20% is sufficient. Viewing the carburetor barrel until it fully closes is adequate to get an approximate setting; then test with
engine running to confirm.
STEPS:
Open BASIC menu, then open
THR-CUT function.
Activate the function. Choose desired
switch, and the position which
activates the function.
With T S at idle, adjust the
HROTTLE TICK
rate until the engine consistently shuts
off but throttle linkage is not binding.*
