I'm using the BEC from my brushless main motor ESC to power the receiver. I just pushed the red pin out of the connector of the tail motor ESC and put a little heat-shrink over it. I had read somewhere its not advisable to have two BEC's running....and that's understandable !

O.K. ...... Still no real luck here with my difficulties. I did not make it to the Radio Rat yesterday as my night quickly became the property of others and the RS closed. I did however get a chance to try some other things and here is what I discovered.

Per Georges suggestion yesterday: I went in and checked for any mixing or offsets in the radio on channel 4. Its all clean...no problem. I then took the GYRO out of the system and guess what? ! The ESC armed so that the motor is dead full left and W.O.T. at full right ! ! So, it seems as though the GYRO is keeping me from fully arming the range of travel on the rudder stick. Its good to know the ESC can arm properly but then again why is the GYRO not allowing it to arm the full range??

I'm on week two of no air time at all. I'm gonna have to put my "ping-pong" balls back on when I get going again !

Any more suggestions at this point?
