Reverse the throttle channel on the Futaba. This is typical of all Futaba radios.

I had one friend who could not get the Throttle to work below Half Throttle. It was the same with more than one ESC, so it would seem the Tx had a problem with the ESC. I have not heard if he got an answer, yet, and he may not have the 7C, but it was a name brand Tx that he used for Glow planes, as well, without incident.

Also, try running your throttle TRIM all the way down. You might not be set right to arm the ESC.

Since I'm a JR user don't know a lot about Futaba. However,yes ESC has something to do with it. Try plugging cable from ESC into throttle channel. That should do it.

Now there is a pile of good advise. Try to reverse throttle channel first. If that doesn't do it then try to run your trim at it's lowest point. You may need to program your esc? Some require throttle calibration, depending on the esc.

Run the throttle all the way up and then back to idle. This could reset the ESC. Be sure to try it with the throttle reversed.

HANG ON TO THE PLANE !

If you have the PNP version the ESC has to be in the off position for at least a second to arm.

Do yourself a favor and READ THE MANUAL!

I don't even own the plane and I did.
