position. Now you can safely connect the flight battery without having to worry
about inadvertently moving the throttle stick. Once you place the model on the
ground, verify that the idle up switch is off and the throttle stick has been moved
to its lowest position, then simply turn the throttle hold off. The model is now
ready to fly. Another use for the throttle hold function is to disable the motor
before a crash without having to drop the collective stick (possibly forcing the
model into the ground). Disabling the motor before a crash can prevent a lot
of damage.
The UP-1 function is enabled
and ready to use. The UP-1
sw i t c h ( U P - 1 / G E A R )
function is used for
aerobatics and 3D flight. If
you are a beginner to
aerobatics remember this
switch sets the motor speed
(see your TX610 manual for
details) while still allowing
positive and negative pitch
control. This means pulling
the throttle stick back WILL
NOT decrease the power to
the motor but rather add
power. Hence it’s a good
idea to learn to use the
Throttle Hold Switch when
you feel a crash is imminent!
