This Should Be Simple!!!!!!!!!!
I am relatively new to electric powered flight, but I can not get the following to work.
Thunder Power 3 cell 1320mAh battery
E-flilte 20-Amp Brushless ESC
E-flite Park 400 Brushless Moter
JR 6 Channel Micro Receiver (R610UL)
Hitec HB65 Servos
JR 72mHz Transmitter
All of this equipment has been used with success in the past, in a different plane. I use the following setup and start procedure:
Throttle lead of ESC plugged into throttle channel on receiver
Transmitter turned on with throttle stick and trim lever in full OFF position
Battery is plugged into ESC
I get one beep and NOTHING works NO motor NO servo movement (servo does jump when battery is plugged in)
I have tried both a used ESC and a brand new out of the package ESC with the same result

Slim, those esc's are funky sometimes. Check the paperwork that came with em.
You may have to move the throttle stick after you hear the beep to WOT, hold for a moment, then back to off to arm it.
I've got a pair of the 30's that the only way they would arm was to have the throttle WOT when I plugged in the pack, then once the beep was heard, I could move the throttle to off, and then the esc's would arm.

You may need to calibrate the ESC. Unplug the battery. Remove the prop. Put the throttle full on. Plug in the battery. The ESC should go through some sort of beeping routine and then stop. Move the throttle stick to off. Now it should work normally.
