Default RE: New E-Flite T-34 Mentor PTS

I would remove the prop b-4 doing this set up. Leave receiver off, turn on transmitter, full throttle. Plug in receiver, it will do a few beeps. After a short time it will beep once telling you it is setting step 1. If you are using 3 cell lipos let t beep 3 times, immediately move throttle stick to center position. It will play a new sound saying step 1 is done. It will beep twice ,move throttle back to full. Step 2 is brake type. Ddefault is Brake Off this is 1 beep. After 1 beep move throttle to center, it will play a short tune and beep 3 times this is Timing this is what got me into trouble your choices are 1 to 5 beeps. 1 beep =5% 2=10% 3 beeps 15 % 4 beeps 20 % 5 beeps 25%. I set this to five which seems way to high, battery run time is cut down power is great. I went back to 2 beeps after minor crash. Take your pick and go to step 4. This is throttle input default is 1 beep. Go to step 5 this is startup rate default is 1 beep , if you have gear box this will ruin the gears so it needs to be set for 2 beeps. I use 1 beep.Step 6 is PWM switching freq default is 1 beep except for low inductance motors. I use 1 beep. Step 7 is Operating Mode. 1 beep for planes and 2 for helicopters . It will play another short tune and you are done. I made a short note to carry with me. Step 1 keeps the lipo from being ruined (over discharge).
Hope this helps. It is pretty easy and if you mess up any step you can start over as many time as you need.
