I've never seen the point of using a shorting plug... either it's all hooked up and the receiver is off, or it's in the helpers hands and he/she turns the receiver on and the controller arms... other than that, the only time you can have problems is when it's out of anybodies hands and it in flight. You don't have any control of what happens after it leaves the ground and before the helper gets his/her hands back on it.<BR>
You are correct in your thoughts about the receiver binding. As long as your radio is bound to your receiver, your radio will have the "only" control.<BR>

<DIV>I have flown with the shorting plug 4 heck, 3 or 4 years now. My reason for this discussion hopefully, was to see if with the new 2.4 technology and binding a receiver to a radio, if it is thought to be necessary anymore. I don't think it is. Someone would have to pull my hatch, and physically push the button to bind to my receiver. Any thoughts? Guess I should have workded it a lil different. </DIV>

<DIV>I happen to use the idle up function on the 10G Anthony, with the throttle trim all the way down</DIV>
<DIV>. And it is set to be adjustable on the slider if necessary. </DIV>

Hi Dave,<BR> 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.<BR> <BR>Jim,<BR> <BR> Vanquish Fury outrunner 37mm 800kv (iirc) w/ CC Phoenix 45<BR>2m stuff AXI 5330 F3A w/ CC HV 85<BR> <BR>Chris,<BR> <BR> 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.<BR> <BR>Anthony<BR> <BR>

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..<BR> 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. <BR> Has the E-motion flown yet?<BR> <BR>Anthony<BR> </SPAN></FONT></P>
