Hi all,
I'm quite new to electric helicopters, with the current cost of batteries I'm worried about
over discharging them, the reason for this I keep forgetting to activate the timer.
My questeion is, is there any way of linking the timer to the throttle stick, so when you raise the throttle the timer is started automaticaly, i know my flight time to % of battery left is correct, it's just remembering to start the timer.:arggg:

I don't think so, i would like that myself....

I have assigned the feathered switch to the timer, so i can only flip that when spooling up, for some reason i find it easier to remember then.

Thanks for replying,
I'll give that a go and see if it makes any difference, but knowing my memory I doubt it!

Nope, you need to go to the 12X to get that function.

I just worked on hitting th timer after sppol up in Normal, before hitting Idle Up.

BTW, at least on the X9303, you can start the timer with the Trainer switch.
