Status: offline 		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.

Status: online 		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.

HANG ON TO THE PLANE !

Do yourself a favor and READ THE MANUAL!

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