Futaba 9ZAP Problem

[John Petterson]

Ron - 
 
3 questions to help you debug - 
(1) Is there some kind of safety disable switch (or dial) for the
throttle control for that model programmed in the TX or on the plane?
(2) If you use that model in the transmitter but turn on another plane,
will the throttle servo move on that plane?
(3) If you use another model in the TX and turn on the plane that is not
working, will the motor spin?

Ron, may be as simple as a wire coming loose or broken on the throttle
pot

No, otherwise the throttle wouldn't work on all the other models in the
transmitter.

I haven't tried that.  I did look at the servo output and it reflects 
the throttle stick movement.  I will plug a servo into channel 3 and 
see if it works and I will try plugging the ESC into the rudder channel 
and carefully move the rudder stick.
