hk 450 issue: (once this is resolved i will hopefully have my maiden flight with this thing)

I dont seem to be getting enough rpm's out of my motor to lift my bird off the ground. i programmed my esc with a programming card, and i did exactly wat nuttcaze (from youtube) did on his video in terms of programming. is there something on the card i need to do differently in order to get the power?, because my motor has the specs needed

Some speed controllers need you to program the throttle range, by moving the throttle from 0 to 100 percent. You'll need your ESC instructions to do that.

Also, if you're using a programmable radio, make sure your throttle curve and pitch curve is set up correctly.

post up what you have , what are the throttle curves , what do you have as pitch when you have 3/4 throttle . your pitch may be too negitive to make it lift off . do you have a pitch guage to check it . need more info to help
