Ijust got my new Cessna 747 in the mail. It went together fast and is pretty sweet! I went to fly it on the stock transmitter and reciever. The plane flew great but it had many problems with reception interference. The plane kept loosing controll and shutting off in mid flight. Unfortunately the plane crashed and the reciever was not responding with the transmitter correctly (tons of servo jutter). Itried to swap out the reciever and transmitter with a Spektrum dx5e and ar500. I got the reciever and transmitter tobind just fine except the throttle. I seem to only have 1/2 the throttle controll i had with the stock set up. Further more the throttle doesent seem to start up the motor untill it is in half way up. Ieven tried switching the reciever back with the stock set up and to my surprise, the motor is deffinetely running at about 1/2 power with the spektrum set up. I am still using the stock esc and servos. Does anyone know if something is easily fixed here? I deffinetly did put the throttle all the way down and the controlls at neutral before binding but still i can only get 1/2 throttle response. Any help?

actually i put the stock reciever back in and dida range test. This thing only has about 30 feet of range before the motor shuts down and i get servo jitter. Any ideas on how to expand my range or use that spectrum set up. Iam also looking at upgrading the motor. If Iupgrade to a better motor. esc and lipo setup, will Ibe able to find the small gear that fits the main prop drive shaft for the new motor.
