[NSRCA-discussion] Hacker: Normal or abby normal behavior?

[JShulman]

Pretty much so. I use a throttle cut switch on both comp and non-comp (non
is just for landing) so I don't have to adjust the trim after I set my idle.
The Brake should only be set if you are going to do some glide racing and
don't want the prop to windmill. It's unnecessary wear and tear on the
gearbox. Let it freewheel.

  While playing with the brake function on my Hacker C50 / 90 Acro
controller (non comp model)  I noticed that if you idle real low and then
bring the trim down a click or two and allow the motor to come to a stop
that you can not start it again unless you bring the trim all the way down.
I am guessing that it has to see the initialization point again.  In normal
flight the prop will free wheel and this would probably not occur but if the
brake is on and the prop stops you can not restart it unless you play with
the trim as above with the throttle fully down.



  Is this a normal behavior?



  Thanks
