I have a new JR 9303 and cannot find the throttle cut function... I'm not sure there is one...
How do you set up a throttle cut on the JR 9303 ... ??
Thanks

Good question. There has to be more than one way for sure. I am certain the manual does not make any mention of it. I have gone over it with a fine tooth comb. Hey guys lets hear all of the differant methods. I am up for something simple if there is one.

I've got it.... a throttle to throttle mix ... is the way to do it.... on mix 3, 4, 5 or 6 ...

Thanks guys..

No, all you are really supposed to work with is the idle trim.

Since it is analog or whatever and it isnt one of those little digital trims like the elev or aileron or rudder.

You just set the carb linkage and atv's up in the trim menue for the throttle trim so that when it is pulled all the way back the engine stops and when it is all the way foreward you idle up for flyin.

That is the way you are supposed to do it.

Oh and you could have a throttle kill with a choke servo on a gas engine.

But throttle to throttle mix is not needed when you can use the idle trim, that is what its there for, not just setting the idle. You use sub trim and atv's for setting idle.

Same here.
pull idle trim back
although i like the idea of having a button as on the 8303
all it take is a slip of the wrist to send your plane out of control

I have to admit , I too use the idle trim for shutdown. But like what was said; I found that a button or lever would be much safer than trying to dumb thumb that trim tab upon landing.

Figured this would be a good thread to see how you guys are setting up a kill switch. Course I really do not wish to set a mix for something as simple as a switch that shoud have been a factory default to begin with.

As suggested a throttle to throttle mix and use the gear switch or the trainer button

[Temptation]

Yes, throttle to throttle mix is the correct way to do it. I have mine set up that way, and it works great.

Yes the manual throttle trim lever is great for shutting the engine off. It is even better to use it to set your idle, then use a switch, or buttom to kill the engine. If you do it that way, you don't have to reset the idle before every flight.

When you only have three minutes to get your engine started and the plane in the air during a competition you don't want to spend time trying to get the engine idle just right.

You have a right to disagree.

I see some of you dont have the 9303 cuz if you did you would understand that the best way to do it is with the idle trim.

getting it right? that is why it has that big slip in the middle of the trim to stop the trim lever in the middle of the travel.

How could you dumb thumb that, at least thats the way I see it, as long as you have it setup the way it was designed to be setup, it is perfect.

If the throttle trim was the "Correct" way to kill the motor, Why would they allow you to set up a throttle cut? Using the throttle cut option is the "More Correct" way to do it. However there is no "wrong" way it is whatever you feel comfortable with.

You also state that the throttle trim is the "Best" way to kill your engine, setting up a throttle cut requires you to set the mix ONCE whereas using the throttle trim requires you to re-set your idle everytime you go to start your engine, making the throttle cut a simpler process and the "best" way

I prefer the throttle cut.

I mix Throttle to Throttle and put it on the Retract switch.

The mix on a switch is the way to go... and even is you hit the cut switch or button while flying... all you'll lose is a couple of rpms ...

... and while we're talking about JR 9303s ... the non-digital throttle trim is a waste... and archaic on such a sophisticated TX ... IMHO ...

thanks

I like my non digital trim on my 10x, It is like that so you can trim your throttle faster in the air. try using a digital throttle trim in the air and open the trim all the way, then do it with the non digital one. If your just flying arounf in circles it doesn't really matter, but if you NEED your throttle trim up your not going to want to wait.
