[SOLVED] Throttle off in Diagnostics

Ok I have bailout set up with my DX8, swash moves upon activation as its supposed to. My next question is in diagnostics tab, my throttle is at 4%. and only goes to 98%.
These settings I had already zeroed out and had them set correctly but now they are off. My question is do I correct this? If so how? and where do I go in the DX8 to do this I cannot remember where I went into the radio to adjust this! :-(

Also what mode of rescue should I be in normal? or Acro? What is the difference? Forgive me but it's been a while since I had originally set this up, and I have forgotten....

Rescue Normal always rescues to upright, even if you are inverted. Rescue acro rescues to the nearest orientation, so if you're inverted or close to inverted it will level inverted and punch out.

Tab on the wheel on you DX8 / Select Servo Setup / Travel Throttle
Make sure your at Motor OFF position, adjust left 100% likely to 102% for Lower value
Go to full and adjust right 100% likely to 102% for upper Value.
Monitor it in Diagnostics.

Yes you would but what exactly depends on your ESC. What brand are you using?

Ok perfect you'll need to recalibrate the ESC to the new settings.

Disable the governor, power on your TX, put a linear throttle curve 0-100, put throttle stick on high, power model on, wait for the two beeps, put stick to low, wait for the ESC to initialise, unplug everything, reactivate gov and set a flat TC. Done!

Haha thank you! That's what happens when you type in responses right before going to work and you're in a bit of a rush [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]
