Motor not responding

error404:
I am having an issue with my motor on my electric extra, just setting it up for its maiden flight.

Firstly when i connect battery the speed controller beeps twice, then  i go full trottle and it beeps again, finally when i power down no beep.
It should start turning when i apply some trottle but nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Bill it is the Extra you sold me, you may know the correct arming of the motor.

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Here is a picture of the model. Will have to wait a bit longer for its maiden flight.

Fred:
Hi Anthony,

Maybe basic things to check, but have you tried revesing your throttle ?

error404:
I had tried that earlier and it still did not work.

Happy Days:
Normally in matters like these Anthony the problem is something relatively simple, as Fred inferred. :wink:

The first thing I’d go for is to check if you have the throttle lead in the correct position in the rx. If you’re using the Futaba equipment I sold you, that’s the third position down from the top of the rx. (Channel No. 3)

If you’re using a different rx to the one I sold you, have you “linked” the rx to the tx?

The ESC connector might not be of Futaba type with a flange on one side, so make sure the plug is in the right way round. (With the metal pins on the connector showing towards the top of the rx.)

If you’re still not getting any luck, ensure that you’re using a battery of the correct number of cells.

I’ll bet the problem turns out to be something simple! :roll:

K.
