I goofed with CASTLE LINK. Need some help....
Hey all,
Just got a new castle link from Tower yesterday. Never used one of these before. Went to update what I was sure was a CC35. The ESC was old enough that the castle link software gave me 5 or 6 choices of ESC's to choose from as it coudn't autodetect it. So, I picked the phoenix 35/45, 'cause I was sure it was a 35. Update seemd to go smoothly and finished 'succesful'. But when I powered up the plane, the servos were very eratic, the motor went to power and was not controllable. Unplugged the battery from the ESC and scractched my head. Then I dug out some old invoices and packing slips. It's a CC25 NOT a 35! So, I thought I'll just reprogram it, right? WRONG! The list of ESCs to choose from is gone because apparently I told the prom it was a 35. The software detects it as a 35 now. Is there anyway short of sending this thin back to Castle to erase what I've done and start over?
Thanks!

Did you send this post to Castle? They have an excellent support staff and a large FAQ section that might help, too. http://www.castlecreations.com
