Wow, thanks so much for this video. I am currently building my first RC plane and am just testing the electrics. I've really struggled with the throttle and have been using other people's guides with no success. After spending all afternoon on it your super simple guide worked straight away!

Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, pulled out what little hair I have left. This video solved my problem! Thank you so much!

Awesome quick tip James. I remember years ago when I figured this out for the first time. Now it's something I do regularly. Thanks for the video.

This was very helpful. I will be recalibrating my speed controls tomorrow. I didn't understand how to do that. I didn't know the number of beeps told you what size battery was being used. that's neat.

Keep it coming! Especially for those of us that are starting in electric rc

As always, These videos are very informative, is there a possibility you could make a video that’s more informative on the Futaba T10J radio system specifically how to set up varying degrees of flaps using the three position switch, instead of the VR, rotary knob. How to set up thrust reverse as well

I'm not a lot into electric planes so I did not know this. And when I did try to calibrate, I did it wrong. So after pulling the plane apart and checking the connections and continuity checks 3 times I finally did a YouTube search and found this. Very helpful.

Thank you so much for saving my sanity today. I have never had to calibrate an ESC before but I am going to calibrate all of my ESCs after watching this. 👍👍😁

Keep the Quick Tips coming. They are very Helpful!

Thank You! I’ll be using this trick on all my models from here on out! Worked on my spektrum setup, btw. And fixed my glider’s throttle with a 75% dead band.

I always thought dipping my ESC in salt water would calibrate it. Guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time, thanks for the help!

Glad I stumbled across this account right before I started my 3D print project.

Im on cloud 9 tonight thanks to u and the video! Ive been flying for a few years and havent run into this problem till a attempted my first scratch build . The only thing a couldnt figure out why the motor would be full power at 3/4 stick and half throttle and full stick . looking foward to flying my 540 edge tomorrow now that is 100% dialed all thanks to this video and the people behind it . subed too yah.

Another great tip. What I needed when I started out👍🏻

[jamach]

Thanks for the tip . Sometimes you can't make the simplest mistakes. I wanted to complain about the ESC. Everything works now.

[hunteralpers]

Thanks for the help! I accidentally set my min throttle at half way on analog stick without knowing how to switch it back. This helped a lot thanks
