Default P-80 SE and Futaba 12Z Problem

To all,

I am setting up my turbine and when I go through the learn RC process all is fine until I have to move the throttle stick to full throttle. The displayed number on the GSU does not change; therefore, the turbine will not start. Fail safe is fine and working. When I move the trim tab to full the led chasing starts, but moving the throttle stick to full does nothing.

My radio is fine as it works with other plans. The turbine starts in manual mode so I know it is all correct.

What could be causing the throttle stick movement to not be sensed by the ECU?

Thank you for your time in advance.

Scott

Is it in single channel mode?
Do you return the stick after advancing it?

SOLVED:

Some how in the function menu the throttle stick control was placed on the throttle trim tab. It was a guess as to how I found this. Once the stick was put back on J3 it all worked.

YEA!!!!
