I just got the T6/3D and a castle creation 25 esc (Thanks Oilman) and there are posative, negative and one more (not quite shure what its for, first brushless) but on the moter there are just 3 yellow leads. dose it matter which I solder the esc to?

Solder the three leads from the motor two the three leads from the controler.

If the motor does not turn in the direction you would like it to go unsolder any two of the tree motor wires and switch them over. In other words reverse any two of the three wires.

Under no circumstances revers the polarity of the two wires on the battery side of the controler. On one side of the controler you have two wires only. these are the battery leads. Ones red ones black. They go, black too the black on your battery. Red to the red on your battery. If you reverse these two by accident your controlers toast. Please don't fry it as I gave you a deal on it that you won't be able to get again. From me or any one.

Then go have fun!

Oily.

You have the controlers manual there.

Go through the set up procedure and se tit up for 9V cut of again. Maybe I screwed the sequence up?
If memory servse me correctly.
You need to start with the stick in the middle. Then answer yes, back to middle next set of beeps answer yes, then your into voltage cut off mode. Answer no three times then Yes, then unplug your controler from the battery. You should be set on 9V cut off now. Read through the manual though. Don't just take my word for it.

Glad to hear it's working good for you. What size plane. How do you like the motor?

Oily.

Its on a VTO, vertical take off. it is a "flying wing" type thing and the motor is great.
On the first flight I took it off vertically (what its ment for) and the thing rocketed up! but the plane was soo out of trim that it was doing 10foot loops hands off. It took me about 4 min to trim it out then I tryed to do some aerobatics. I tryed a roll, for the plane it rolls surprisingly fast and the loops are really tight. Also the motor is so quit that in the sky you can bairly hear it at full thottle.
Im just working on getting a P40 ready for the moter because I diddent have much luck in getting it to fly, to heavy not enough power. This should make it go like a rocket.
I would post some pics but I cant get them in the right format. What do you guys use?

I usualy use JPG's

I had to get a free file converter.

Lately I switched back from XP to ME. Less hackers and worms on ME it seems.

But it sure is a cr OS!

It seems to me when working with images if I opened them with paint then saved them with a new name as JPGs they got noticably smaller.
