Landing with a Hybrid VTOL

ArduPlane Plane 4.3
,
1

Hi,
I’m testing some parameters on my hybrid VTOL with 4.3.5 Arduplane fw.
This time I’m testing “Q_LAND_ICE_CUT = 1”, but the rear petrol engine doesn’t stop during QRTL phase.
Is this parameter valid only for QLAND mode?
Thank you!

IMHO it should cut when landing in QRTL as you may opt to go out of QRTL to FW mode prior to that and for most ICE vehicles engine cut isn’t recoverable without manual intervention.
