Horus X10S Express Radio problem with arming power

[Quilomene]

I have a Horus X10 Express. I tried to go flying today after a few months off and ran into a problem. I couldn't arm the motor. I'm using a Shellim template for 6 servo gliders where the motor is armed by the SH switch and the response was "motor to idle before cruise " which is normal when the throttle slider is not in the idle position. The throttle is operated using the LS on ch7. I went to the monitors page to view CH activity and noticed that all channels were working properly except CH 7 which had none. All was working fine last time I was out so am confused. Anyone have a suggestion?

The Shellim templet uses and switch and stick gestures to arm the motor. Read the pamphlet that came with the templet. Not seeing movement on CH7 is a good thing, as it means the safety built in the templet is working.

Normally, I lift the SH switch and hold until the radio says "motor armed. Now it just plays" motor to idle to arm." It never used to do that?

 

[Konrad]

I thought one had to hold the right stick in the lower left corner and flip another switch to activate the motor.

This might help.

I simplified to arm on the SH switch only. It seems like it doesn't recognize that the LS is in the idle position?

 

[Konrad]

Ok, if you changed things, then go through the logic again step by step.

Might look for a trim setting value that is too high.

Yep, like Konrad said - check your work. Really nothing we can help you with on this one.

Have a look at the E-Soar Plus Setup guide, and choose motor arming option 2. It's just two logical switch edits.
