Thanks Mike Ive decided to do the same, then i can add in thin washers to add an angle if there is any need! I have finaly solved the mystery throttle case, the problem was a faulty lipo that hadnt charged so when conected to the ESC the voltage was to low and the BEC curcuit built in was not supplying enough volts to the reciever causing it to un bind and go haywire. A new Lipo and a reciever battery has solved the probem completley and i have just disconnected the power cable from the plug going from the ESC to the reciever.

Hi again, Thanks alot for the advice, it may be a arial conection as there is loose wire and hopefuly i can solve it!! I have one other question about the instilation of the electronics: when mounting my 1400KV motor is there any need to angle it or "pack it of" to one side/ up or down to compensate for the direction of spin ect...? If someone could help me out it would be great then i will be ready to take to the skies!!! Regards Charlie Edited By Charlie Raley on 11/09/2012 18:47:52

Hi, Unfortunately I am unable to upload photos, however I am in the later stages of the build with only the fuselage left to cover. The Zulu has been an ongoing project, my first RC plane build. I have installed a mystery 1400KV brushless motor with a 30A ESC that has a built in BEC, when testing the electronics recently the motor would seem fine and perform well but after so long in would speed up to full throttle for no reason I put it down to the wrong ESC setting however it has happened 3 times now once whilst taxiing around the garden. I am very excited about getting it into the air however this problem is proving a nightmare as testing is dangerous. Can anyone help me out on why this may be happening and also give a bit of advice as what electronics would be the best for such a plane? Thank you Charlie
