ESC issues.
 
Well, I decided today was a great day to fly and took the plane out to the feild and flew around a bit, then like an idiot, I lost it in the sun, which resaulted in the plane piledriving itself into a bed of weeds, I'm fairly sure I was off throttle when I made contact. Being a yak 55 flightflex, it took it pretty well, just unglued the stick mount, no problem. On the other side of things it snapped the prop. I have an E-flite 20 amp brushless speed control connected to a E-flite park 370 outrunner. Now, whenever I power up all I get is a constant beeping, I'm pretty sure it didn't burnout, otherwise it would not be able to beep at all. I asked at my LHS and the guy said he thought that it had got stuck in setup mode, which seemed reasonable. I came home and wnt through the setup instructions and it maded the correct number of beeps throughout the process, the problem is, when I unplugged it then plugged it back in, I get the same beeping. It beeps between 1 and 2 times per second, and if you go up to full throttle it will go through set up again. It almost seems like it's perminantly stuck in setup. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or knows a fix for it, otherwise I'm shipping it to horizon tomorrow. I was really hopeing to fly tomorrow, but it looks like that probably wont happen...

If you are using a computer radio check that your throttle end points are set to 100% in both directions.

I checked it out and everything was set as it should have been, I even tried a different battery, and a different motor all with the same resaults, so I'm headed out now to ship it to horizon, hopefully it doesn't take too long...
