Greetings,
My sons (10 and 12) are new to RC flying. We bought a Tiny Trainer 'get started package' and had a blast building the plane. Unfortunately, we're having trouble getting the motor to work. We've successfully bound the transmitter (Spektrum DXe) and both rudder and elevator are responding great.
It appears that we've correctly calibrated the throttle but the motor does not respond to the transmitter's commands. When the throttle is pushed forward, the motor rotates slowly making a "chattering" sound. Only once or twice did the motor actually spin all the way to full. Once throttled all the way back, the motor no longer spins freely when pushed forward again. We tried re-calibrating numerous times with no success.
I checked the bullet connections between the motor and ESC and found that this intermittently/ rarely and temporarily fixes the problem. If the throttle is cut all the way and pushed forward the problem re-appears and the motor spins slowly and "chatters".
Also, it seems strange that when the transmitter is switched off (and the throttle is down) the motor begins it's chattering/ slow spining until the battery is disconnected.
Could it be that some of the parts we received were defective or are we doing something wrong during our setup?
Many thanks,
