Noob here... I can't get my motor contol to spin up since I eraced my settings. It worked fine before I was overcome by stupidity and decided to get a fresh start on my settings.
I have programed my Futaba using Airman Bob's settings for beginners and I have read that they work very well for others. I used a Castle link to go into the Phoenix ESC motor controller and programed the following . Auto Lipo Hard Cutoff Heli-Fixed Eddpoints Forward Speed (tried to reverse as well) Brake Disabled Med Motor Start Med Throttle Responce Std Adv Timing 13 khz Normal Current limiting Med Heli Gain High Spool Speed
As you can see most of my settings are default for Heli's and I have tried a few different combo's that others have suggested. Still won't spin up. Worked fine before. Yes I do have my Throttle hold off. I have put my throttle stick in variou suggested positions for startup without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :arggg:

have you tried reversing the throttle channel on the radio?

you've also (with the phoenix anyway) got to power up with the throttle stick above the 0% point. then, when your ready to lift off you put the throttle stick down to 0% and it initializes. this is a safety feature of the cc phoenix. also, you'll want to change the cut-off to soft, unless your good at autos. soft cut off will allow you to "float" it down, whereas hard cut off the heli will drop like a brick, depending on your pitch at the time.

You need to teach the cc where high and low are. With the stick at low change the enppoint till it arms. Then powert it down and go high stick power up and add endpoint till it starts program mode. add 2 or 3 moor clicks to each then they need to ensure good arming points.
