No throttle
Ok, here goes. I recently replaced the motor and ESC in my foamy using the following, Motor: AS2204 KV1700 ESC: 6-10Amp Lipo 7.4v. Everything works. However, when I installed an Eagle A3 SE pro gyro everything works except the throttle. The throttle will start and run for 10 seconds or so then cut off. Then I hear the ESC beeping thru its sequence then the throttle works again. If I the motor is running and I move a stick (let's say the rudder) the motor cuts off immediately. Is the problem the ESC, the motor or ????? Do I need an ESC with a higher Amp rating? Help

Found the problem. After hours of experimenting I discovered that 2 of the 3 servos were standard size and one of them was a micro servo. All I can think of is the servos were drawing different voltages. I changed all of the servos to micro and the throttle works with no shut down at all.
