Clutch
From RC Helicopter Wiki
A mechanical device installed on the engine of a nitro or gas powered helicopter that connects the engine's output to the main rotor gear train. The clutch will allow slippage at low RPM to keep the engine running at idle while the blades are stopped, and will grip more tightly as RPM is increased, thereby transferring engine motion to the main rotors.
