Throttle Hold

Throttle hold is used to turn off the helicopter motors if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing

or both. Activate throttle hold anytime the helicopter is in danger of crashing to reduce the chance of

damaging the helicopter in a crash. Throttle hold will stop the motor in normal or stunt mode.
