mini vbar help

[Raptormad2]

Hi I have been installing a mini vbar into my trex 500 finally got everything setup and tried to spool it up but when I plug in the lipo the esc starts up and then the alarm sounds that tells me that the stick position is at full throttle , I don't know if I am missing something on programming the vbar but have gone back throught it and done a rebind with the throttle stick at the lowest position , I am using express software and vbar is 5.3. the esc I am using is the stock align trex 500 model. have now run out of ideas,
thanks.

On the page 3 Transmitter page, in have you checked to make sure everything is going the correct way? also are you trying to start up in throttle hold, if so make sure the curve is zero.

Are you using Futaba ??? If so I believe that you have to reverse the throttle channel - check on the Monitor in the Vstabi software to check that you are getting 0 throttle when you think you should

Hi have checked to make sure that everything is working in the correct direction after I did a rebind which it is, tried starting with throttle hold on then I tried it again with the throttle hold off with the same result, tried reversing the throttle but then when powering up the esc goes into programming mode which is when you have to have the throttle stick at the top position, am using 2x spectrum sats on the vbar,

trims on the tx fully down on throttle?

[Ross Northcott]

did you calibrat bthe endpoints on the esc set up correctly?

[Raptormad2]

yes the throttle trim on the tx is fully down ,I havnt reset the esc as I was using it on this heli before I converted it to fbl, I was just thinking about reprogramming the esc as maybe it needs to re learn the stick positions.

It needs to be re-programmed
