Hey this evening I was plugging the power in, to get things set up. Flaps, elevator mix, getting the ailerons reversed, expo settings, rudder mix, etc.
Then I tried hooking up the motors and ran into some problems. No throttle at all! I went through Pilot Ryan's very useful techniques that he explained on the video a few pages back, to reset factory settings and also calibrate the ESCs.
I did those things... and it seemed to be set correctly. But still no luck. I wasn't getting the entire "ready" sequence when you power up. And, no props turning at all.
Then I figured out what was wrong! The batteries that I was using for testing were at the 50% storage charge setting! And the smart-ass ESCs on this model were preventing the motors from running! :P
Well, once I got some fully charged batteries hooked up, and went through that calibration sequence one last time, everything worked perfectly. Brake off, all four props in sync. Thanks Ryan!!
