[NSRCA-discussion] Shorting plug with 2.4

[jzeigenfus at comcast.net]

Anthony, with the 12x I have one switch which is throttle kill where no throttle functions work on the plane and another switch is set up like Dave with 3 different throttle settings for low, high and no idle. In this manner I can connect all batteries carry the plane to the line then hit the throttle kill and then the low idle switch before anything runs. obviously in reverse when landing. If you do accidentally hit the throttle kill while flying yes it kills throttle but just like with a helicopter kill switch if you hit it back you are in business. JEZ

Hi Dave, 
Like the throttle up idea. Wasn't sure how annoying the brake/deadstick switch would be we is why I called it an experiment. One of those things I will have to try. Might be best to have the brake on a seperate switch.

Chris, 

The only down side to the shorting plug is weight and an extra connection point. It would be nice to be safely ready to fly without having to mess with the canopy.

Pos 0 – brake 

Pos 1 – slowest idle 

Pos 2 - +300 RPM idle for better stall turns and spin entries 



If you are considering toggling between low idle and brake on/off in the air……I’d have it on a different switch than your “kill” switch….lest you find yourself deadsticking because of an errant switch flip.

Hi Chris, 

Never used one but like the idea. I use the throttle cut function on the SD-10. It is set to a switch so when not flying my TX is always in the throttle cut position. When my caller puts the plane down I flip the switch and my motor starts at the lowest possible idle with the trim centered. If I need to adjust my idle I can do it with the trim. 
Since all of the switches are 3 position my next experiment is to use the idle up function to set the brake on the middle switch position. 
Has the E-motion flown yet? 

Anthony

What are your thoughts on using a shorting plug with the 2.4 systems. I always used them before, but now with my new system, I'm not sure it's necessary. 

Thanks!
