Hi All,
A guy gave me an RX, motor, battery and servos, Feather size, and told me to have fun. Then I had to get a kit from Tower, then different covering, etc. I usually fly .60/.46 stuff.
Anyway, can't get the motor to run thru the speed control. Servo's run just fine. Batteries fully charged. Maybe something plugged in wrong? Speed control shows which end goes to motor/battery, so that looks good. The RX is a piss ant size, 3 channel, Hitec. Rudder/elevator servos connected to #1 and #2 connections, and they work. Other connection comes from the speed control. Does it go into #3, or #4?? #4 is labeled as battery. BTW, the TX is a single stick, with what looks like a sliding switch for the throttle. The stick works the rudder/elevator.
So... how do I connect what at the RX? And how do I tell if the speed control is hosed, and needs replacing. The motor runs fine when powered directly.
All help and comments will be GREATLY appreciated!

rcgroups.com or rcuniverse.com and post your questions there. Usenet is
basically a dead media. This forum used to have hundreds of messages a
week. Now it'd down to a small handful if that.
