    Status: offline     		boris, did you have the throttle set to full before you turned the transmitter on?

    Now, I'm going out on a limb here because I don't have this setup, but....
    My Bladerunner clone has a safety feature where the throttle won't work until you push it to full and then back down to zero. Maybe these ESCs have a similar feature, or maybe it's just that you don't get the beep codes unless the throttle is set to full before you turn on the transmitter, so when you're in setup mode the motor won't run. The ESC may need to see the motor attached before it'll enter setup mode. If someone else can't test it, you could always pull the motor and give it a try.
    Don't forget to let us know what happens.

    Just use the forums as they are the most useful tool available. I would be happy to swap emails as well as i just love to chat about helis. I'm on my second one. My first heli was a honey bee 2 and for a total novice like myself it was very difficult to fly. I love my #36 but its not without its grief with the standard radio gear and brushed 400 motor. I have made upgrades and i now get about 20 minutes flight per pack.

    Status: offline     		Hey NOZ, sounds like your gyro's buggered. Have you tried the sensitivity screw on the gyro. I think if the sensitivity screw is not set right it will want to wag in the tail?

    If it is spinning opposite the blades then your rear pulley may be slipping? I'd check that the retaining pin is seated well (perhaps ca'd in as well).

    The best way to test the brushless motor and esc is with the BL motor out of the plane/heli, you can safely check your esc program (soft start, brakes off...etc) and spool up the motor slowly. If the motor turns the wrong direction, just swap any 2 of the 3 motor wires.

    Status: offline     		Boris, as I said, I don't have this setup, but I'm pretty good at figuring these things out.
    To try this, please take your motor out of the heli as I don't know what might happen.

    The setup mode should play a tune and stop. After it stops, you'll either hear nothing, or a continuous tone. Move the throttle to the lowest position and wait a few seconds. Then get back to me and tell me what sounds it made. It should have just set your Brake to OFF. I expect you'll hear a lower tone, but I'm not sure.
