Please setup "Throttle Cut" on you transmitter for your Safety and the Safety of others.
Throttle cut, also known as throttle hold, is a safety feature in RC airplanes that prevents the motor from accidentally starting, especially when handling the aircraft on the ground. It's a switch on the transmitter that, when activated, cuts the throttle to a preset low or zero value, regardless of the throttle stick position. This prevents accidental motor engagement when arming the plane, adjusting settings, or during landing and retrieval.
Below are several YouTube videos which may help you setup "Throttle Cut" on your transmitter if you have not already done it or do not know how. Also, you can reach out to someone at the field that may be able to help you.
