Motor Mania
I connected every thing for my plane today. But my throtle does not want to work. The throtel stick controles the rudder and no stick wants to activate the motor. Can any one explaine this to me because I dont know any more.

RE: Motor Mania
Channel 1 = ailerons
Channel 2 = elevator
Channel 3 = throttle
Channel 4 = rudder
If you have just a 3 channel radio, the rudder will be plugged into channel 1

That would be them. Try moving the ESC (speed controller) closer to the motor, and try to get the receiver (Rx) away from the ESC and the battery (and also away from the servos and their wiring - yes, I know the servos have to plug into the Rx). Make sure your transmitter (Tx) is charged up. Make sure you have the Rx antenna routed well away from any wiring inside the plane and also away from any metal parts.

Make sure the antenna is stretched out on the airplane. Make sure ALL batteries are fully charged.
Also try moving the transmitter away from the plane. Sometimes the signal from the transmitter can swamp the receiver, especially if you're standing right next to the plane with the antenna fully extended.

I hate to state the obvious, but be sure and have the transmitter on. If it is not on, the receiver will pick up random signals from the airways and freak out.
