Is there a way to reduce the second press time needed to arm the motor. I would like to quickly re-arm the motor during landing should i need to. Sorry if this has been addressed previously as i am new to the forum. Thanks for your help.
I hear you. I want a disabled motor on landing but I also want to be able to re-enable it much quicker than the current ‘double-press’ method. I used to just land ‘enabled’ before but since it is quite easy to bump the throttle, I’ve had a couple close calls.
I’m not sure what the perfect answer is. For me, an even stiffer throttle spring may be better.

Hi Dean. This is the balance we found works well between keeping the arming sequence quick enough to use and long enough to prevent accidental arming.
From a disarmed state, it takes just over two seconds to complete the full arming sequence. We found that to be a good trade-off for safety and usability.
The controller code is open source, so you’re welcome to experiment with the timings yourself, but we don’t officially support changing those arming timings.

Thanks Zach. Very much appreciate all you guys do.
I absolutely have no right to weigh in on this (with only 25 flights under my belt, on a Moster no less) but what’s stopping you from leaving it armed and then putting your fingers behind the throttle? Probably a stupid idea, but wanted to throw it out there for Zach and others to correct me.
Not a bad idea. That’s what I’ve been doing!
I went to menards and got a stiffer spring. it is somewhat better. thicker gauge spring has the downside of not being able to depress the throttle all the way though (just a few mm)
No. you have a great idea. I am sure with time i will get better controlling the throttle as well. It is a very touch throttle though. thanks Carl.
