My antweight's drive doesn't seem to be responding properly - whenever I turn on the main power, the motor receiving signal from the aileron channel immediately goes into full forward and doesn't respond to signal. I've tried several different configurations of ESC & receiver (different signals, swap out the ESC) and nothing seems to fix this. Has anyone had this problem before?

I'll try again, but that hasn't been the issue so far.

I know I have a cheap brushless ESC that takes the first 'genuine" signal it gets and treats that like 'deadstick.' So if you have bound at middle throttle, and power it up first, then powerup the transmitter at full down, it gives the whole stick for forward, but if you have bound at middle and power the reciever first, then the transmitter at middle then the entire bottom half of throttle is no motion and only the upper half is forward.

Um, did that make any sense?

Anyway, check that everything is middle stick and rebind. If all else fails, read the directions for the Fingertech.

Solved: my aileron potentiometer is shot, I've switched signals around so drive is throttle/rudder and weapon is elevator.

Huh, would never have guessed the transmitter was the problem!

I have a similar problem to this, only when I turn it on, everything functions fine, until I try to move one of the wheel motors. it functions normally when the light on the fingertech is red, but when it's the green light, it begins moving in the opposite direction for up to a second, then switches direction, and I have no idea what's causing it. As for the other ESC, it goes into overdrive, spins correctly at maybe 1.5x what the other side spins at for both directions, but at full open, it just stops with a solid green or red light (Indicating full throttle I assume)
For the overdrive one, I had to re-solder the the connection to the negative motor wire, and both input wires. For the other one, no re-soldering was done. The weapon motor and ESC work fine now though, which is a relief. Any advice?
