Default Futaba 4PK Throttle Adjustment

Have a 4pk and I am trying to get the neutral throttle to set at 0% on the adjustment screen. I've been trying following the instructions in the manual but it always resets to 35% brake for the neutral setting. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

All the subtrims are zeroed. It's a brand new radio. Just seems odd the steering neutral is at 0% but the throttle is at 35%.

Try doing a throttle calibration. Its described in the manual under Adjuster ADJST

Also be sure idle up is not enabled and check the THMOD setting (Throttle Mode) it could be 70/30

I've tried the ADJST in the following sequence

Barely pull throttle then let back to neutral
Press Jog
Pull full throttle slowly
Pull full break slowly
Press Jog
Press +/-

It says successful after this but never reverts the neutral to true 0% when I turn the radio off then go back into the ADJST screen. Am I not performing the Adjustment right?

Did a complete model reset on everything. Guess I'm just wondering if the 35% for the neutral is acceptable and if after performing the ADJST why the neutral doesn't go to 0%.
