THR.HOLD
Autorotation Throttle Position
Throttle hold sets the throttle to a percentage of the
engine idle, regardless of collective pitch stick posi-
tion. Throttle hold is used to practice autorotations,
and as a safety measure in case of engine failure.
To adjust these settings, from the main display press

Autorotation (AR) allows a helicopter to make a con-
trolled approach and landing in the event of motor
failure or if power is deliberately cut mid-air with the
throttle hold switch on the transmitter.
Tip
An alternative emergency-off function is located in the
BASE submenu Thr.CUT (page 66).

• SET line
Use thisoption to move the throttle a percentage
of its normal stick position in the event of engine
failure or deliberate engine cut-off.
The green arrow (left of bar graph) indicates the
current position of the throttle servo, measured
by the actual position of the throttle/pitch control
stick. The red arrow (right of bar graph) indicates
the currently set autorotation throttle position. The
default setting is -100%.
To change the current autorotation throttle posi-
tion, use the throttle/pitch control stick to move the
green arrow, and possibly the throttle trim, to the
position that the throttle servo is to assume during
autorotation, as shown below:
