Idle LOW
Idle Stabilization Setting
This submenu option is not available for models using
an electric motor.
Use this function to set a gas motor’s idle. Engines
without a stable idle are not running up to proper
specifications and can affect the performance of a
model. For example, models can be damaged during
the landing process because the engine may sudden-
ly die.
Normally, the idle of a gas motor is set using the throt-
tle digital trim control. The idle position of the throttle
servo (which depends on the position of the trim con-
trol) can be adjusted as needed to a higher or lower
idle with a switch. A value can be programmed to the
switch within a range of ± 20%.
To adjust these settings, from the main display press
the FUNCTION menu gear icon (blue “F”) to bring up
the FUNCTION submenu screen:

back to the default.
