Helicopter Programming Menu
When the active model is configured as a helicopter model type, the model function menu contains
programming options which are useful for helicopters. This section describes the features and
programming steps for the helicopter model function menu.
The momentary “deadman” switch (Switch-F) is a convenient and commonly-used throttle cut
