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>

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>
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..<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>
