<div>Take the Prop off!!! The motor will spin harmlessly until
you get everything worked out. You can reverse the motor
easier by swapping any two motor wires with the ESC. <br>

stopped shaking enough so that I can type out this
update. I set everything up but have one final
problem. With the Fixed Endpoint setting it is
intuitive that I need to actually set the low and high
endpoints to my low and high stick position. The
instructions in CastleLink didn't work at all with the
motor disconnected, so I connected the motor and that's
where the "fun" began.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">They say to back off on the
throttle ATV and put my throttle stick at full (this
seems an obvious design flaw already since they require
the violation of the most obvious safety feature of all
- having the motor connected), then disconnect
CastleLink and plug the ESC into my receiver. Then plug
in the battery and increase the ATV until I hear a beep
(this occurred at 65%). I suppose this will set the
high point but I don't understand how the ESC knows that
it is in Fixed Endpoint setting mode? </font></div>

bring the throttle down to low stick position and again

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">When I began to lower the
throttle stick the motor started running backwards at an
idle and the more I moved the stick the more it
accelerated. I thought I would hook up the CastleLink
and reverse the motor there but that is a BAD idea. It
did not fix my problem except now it idles at full stick
position in the correct rotation. The really BAD part
of this is that when I turned off my transmitter
(stupidly before unplugging the battery) the motor went
to full power instantly, until the dead mans switch
(which I debated installing due to "unnecessary" weight)
paid for itself. No harm done except my heart rate is
not yet at normal.</font></div>

<div>Thanks!! This is great. I'm surprised how skittish
I've become in preparing this plane as I don't want
something as simple as a config setting to force a scrap
part<br>

Here is a link with step by step settings. The 80HV
and 85HV will use similar settings.<br>
