    Re: motor wont turn

    Are the servos working? It sounds like you have not programmed your ESC. Is the ESC's wire connection into your receiver correctly positioned into the number 3 slot and not inserted upside down?
    If you have Futaba radio or Tactic radio, you need to set the throttle on reverse, and then program it. Let is know if you get the motor to run. IF not please call Motion RC and they will be able to help.You can view Motion's tutorial video about arming an FMS brand ESC. It is very simple to arm the ESC and this might help.

      +1 To what Baron said. I friend of mine and I both have them as our first planes and it took us watching the video to get it right and reversing the throttle channel as we both have Futabas.

        With my Spectrum DX6i, I have to retard the trim on the throttle all the way, then give it a bit of throttle, it will start, then move the trim back to the neutral position. Then all is well, til you change the battery, then repeat...
