Default Controlling Throttle

I am hoping someone can explain how I can gain fine(finer) control over my throttle.

Currently, the motor doesn't even start spinning until about one click past half-stick. This leaves me with less than half the range of my throttle stick to adjust motor speed. As you can imagine, each click on the throttle creates a considerable step in power to the motor, as opposed to having a nice smooth ramp-up/down. This reduction in throttle range also keeps me from more precisely adjusting my flight speed, especially annoying when I can't bring the plane in for a landing at low throttle - always forced to land dead-stick.

My gear is:

Motor: Ripmax XTRA 2829/13
ESC: JETI 08 Advance Plus
Power: 3-Cell Li-Po

Thanks,
Sal
