Crap...don't think I published them first. Lemme fix it. Thx Ron

[Jlov]

Ok should be good now....

Jeff, Congrats! Boat runs great! What GPS is that? Is your strut at the highest like Doby suggested?

[Jlov]

That's my new iPhone in there....guess I didn't learn.... I bought a new Garmin Forerunner201 just can't get it programmed.
And yes strut up as far as it will go.

[Jlov]

Just found a problem. Boat flipped at end of last run and one of my antenna tubes popped out and allowed some water in hull. Not much and got most of it out quickly without getting anything wet. But I just was trying to adjust steering and when plugged in lipos all I can control with Tx is servo. Have no motor function at all. Any ideas?
The batteries got low in my Tx today could that have anything to do with it?

[tlandauer]

Well, yes, if it does not send signal, the fail safe feature kicks in!

[Jlov]

How do I fix that Tim? Been here messing with it for two hours. Tx is working servo just not motor. I remember with this DX2E I had to hold throttle to full and then plug in batteries or something. Can't get it right now tho....

[tlandauer]

Are you using the MR200? And I assume you changed to fresh batteries for the Tx? I have no experience programing a Swordfish ESC, but most ESC---yes, hold full throtle and then plug in and observe confirmation beeps.
I didn't quite understand, after you fllipped, you were still ok, later when you are home and repluged the batteries, then there was no motor?

[tlandauer]

Did you try to re-bind , i know channel 1 works, just so you are resetting everything.

[Jlov]

No didn't run it again after it flipped. Just went home. Just tonite I realized no motor. Yes MR200. I will try and rebind it now. Thx

[Jlov]

Just was able to rebind it. Still no motor....

[tlandauer]

Any beeps from the ESC?

[Jlov]

No beeps but the green light on ESC stays on for about 10 seconds when I plug it up to lipos.

[tlandauer]

Does anybody know what wind is the TFL 3074 motor? it is sold with the Kintec Popeye, not sure if it is the same motor if one orders directly from TFL.
