THROTTLE DELAY (ACRO):
The THROTTLE DELAY function is used to slow the response of the throttle servo
to simulate the slow response of a turbine engine. A 40% delay setting
corresponds to about a one-second delay, while a 100% delay takes about eight
seconds to respond. For helicopters, see DELAYS, p. 87.
This function may also be used to create a “slowed servo” on a channel other than throttle. This is accomplished by plugging the
desired servo (Ex: gear doors) into CH3 (THR), throttle into an auxiliary channel such as 8, and then using some creative mixes.
Please see our Frequently Asked Questions area at www.futaba-rc.com\faq\faq-9c.html for this specific example.
