Olly P Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi Martyn, is a motor connected and if so, is the tome from the Motor or ESC? Does throttle work smoothly and as you would expect? Test with Prop off motor though! I would suspect the timing on the ESC is not set correctly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn sharp Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 yes Oily the motor is as smooth as a well a " motor" its a parkzone pnp so i would have through it would be setup ok thanks Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 That is odd. have you tried the rx etc with a stand alone battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn sharp Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I Have just pluged a stand alone battery ( good call Oily) but it is still happening but it seems to be coming from the reciver and mainly when the ruder is plug in I trought it was binding but it seems free enough looking round the web it seems to happen with parkzone models . martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Martyn do you get the normal bleeps when connecting up the lipo and then it reverts to the continous tone? I ask this because my PZ Me 109E does this and I get a continousalmost 'whistle like sound but all works fine. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn sharp Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes Terry all the bleeps and all works fine but as you say a continous tone wistle like sound but its good to know someone else has the problem thanks Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well the Me 109G (not E!) works fine so I don't know what it is but I just live with it! Actually it's a bit like a real plane on start up with the gyros running! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty C Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Martin I had a similar problem with my arowind esc, all I did to resolve was a re-bind and all was well. I would think if its making tones rather than a "whistle" something must be up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
