Purchased a Turbo Tutor Value Bundle as a Christmas present to myself. Also purchased a DX6e transmitter with an AR620-6 Sport receiver. (Not messing with the Turbo Wing until I'm proficient with flying the trainer wing w/ ailerons.) The build went okay, just watching the build videos over and over again. There are areas that I think needed more detail. Someone mentioned you can download printed build plans for this model... Where do I find those?
Anyway, I initially bound the Tx and Rx with no issues and completed all the mixes as recommended and everything worked fine. Later I decided to assign "Throttle Cut-out" to the Tx "A" toggle switch. I accepted the -134% value that was already there. Everything worked fine. The next day I went out to do some take-offs and immediate landings as recommended in the training series videos. To be "safe" when I turned on the Tx, I flipped up that toggle switch and then connected the battery to the Rx and everything seemed fine. After throttling up and doing short take off and land hop in the yard, the FT basic 30a ESC started pulsing a tone thru the motor. It was a "beep...beep...beep..." followed by a short pause then repeated until I unplugged the battery supply.
After searching and searching for an answer to no avail, I finally realized that it must be because I had that "A" toggle switch in the "Throttle Cut-out" position when I "bound" the Rx. I went back into value portion of that toggle switch and changed it to "-100%". I then made sure that switch was in the "Off" position when I "re-bound" the TX and RX and the beeping tone issue was resolved. Not sure if my -100% value is correct, but I had what I consider to be two fairly successful "first" flights yesterday. The new electronics in this hobby are just amazing (and a bit confusing), for people like me who've been out of it for over 30 years. My issue may be a no-brainer to most of you, but maybe it will help another newbie like myself.
Very excited about learning more and having fun with this "new" old hobby! Cheers!!
