no throttle on Multimode/Spectrum

[Hub city flyer]

I am setting up an Elite Turbo Timber. X18 Ethos. Flaps,elevator,rudder and aielrons work fine. But I have no throttle. The outputs show throttle movement but the plane will not respond. I have bound several times. Ethos shows Throttle channel 1, ailerons channel 2, Elevator channel 3, Rudder channel 4, Flaps channel 5/6.
I finally broke down and bound to my spectrum DX6, it all worked fine. Really want to use the receiver that came with the plane, As3x
Any help?
Thanks

I am not the expert on this, but just throwing something out there to try and help. Apologies if this is too rudimentary for you. Which module are you using and what version of the software are you using for it? The multi-module software does an auto mapping of the basic 4 channels, so you have to download the version with your default channel order. https://www.multi-module.org/using-the-module/channel-order
One thing you might want to try is to just bind to the receiver without using the speed controller, just plug into a battery and plug a servo into each channel. The idea here is that you can then positively determine which channel maps to which.

20 years of Spectrum, nothing is rudimentary when it comes to my X18. Thanks for the info.

Turned out the mapping was OK. After reviewing the Timber manual it suggested the throttle could be reversed. I changed that, nothing, put it back to normal and it worked. One of the many quirks of using my new X18 with my OLD Spectrum stuff. I will be changing to a Frsky receiver with gyro soon.

Sounds like it was just the ESC arming you needed to trigger. Sometimes this is just a matter of running your throttle trim down to zero.

This probably has more to do with the Spektrum ecosystem than anything else. Spektrum is not affraid to break standards as they have a locked up ecosystem. (Or in their mind, they are the standard.)
