Help with speed controller

We are beginners and are struggling to finish the build to be able to take our first flight!
Purchased Flight Test MiniTutor bundle kit with radiomaster pocket transmitter. Plane and transmitter are bound. When testing the accelerator (only works on channel 3) speed increases for about half of throttle and then speed decreases, even though we are increasing throttle. Is this speed controller or receiver issues?

You need to calibrate your throttle. Here are the instructions.


When you fly for the first time, have a buddy take a good clear video. If it doesn’t go well, we can use the video to diagnose the issue. Good luck!

Hard to tell.
There is a screen that shows the output of each channel. See what the throttle output looks like. If it continues to increase as you increase the throttle, the problem is somewhere else. You may need to calibrate your ESC.

If its not the esc it could be that he has a mix on....
