allright, got tx switched over to mode 2. everything seems to be working allright. Put in new esc(gws 30a), fresh battery, then powered on tx(with throttle all the way down), then connected battery to heli. Gyro locked in, esc also gets green light. Problem is motor will shut down after about half throttle. have to throttle all the way back down, then esc resets itself and the same thing happens all over again. Also battery and motor seem to be getting hot even though motor has only been running for a few seconds. Would appreciate any feedback. thanks
