Status: offline 		I purchased the Katana RTF last week. It came in today and i had no problems putting it together. When i hooked up the battery to the speed control, I did as the instructions said and had the throttle down in the idle position. After the beeping stops, when i advance the throttle, it will pick up speed and then shut off. It wont go above half throttle before cutting off. Is this something i did? Is there something i can do to fix it? This is my first electric plane... so all this is new to me.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Not trying to be a smart ass, but did you charge the battery? Sounds like the LVC kicking in and powering down the motor. If the battery is charged, try checking the cut-off level on the ESC (make sure it's set to the cell count you're using).

Status: offline 		yeah, the battery is fully charged. I didnt see any switch on the speed control to adjust. It is kind of a plug and play setup with this RTF

than start open throttle easy again, see what happend. that should set off to normal position the speed controller.

Good Luck
