What this means is that as soon as the controller is armed, the propellers *WILL* begin spinning at low speed. It is recommended that this setting be retained as it provides a good visual indication that the craft is armed. You can read more about arming and setting the MOTOR_STOP feature if desired in the relevant sections of the manual.
