One thing about these electrics, once the motor is armed, moving the throttle results in instant power. And that Turnigy motor has close to one horsepower on the prop.
The DX7 transmitter is one where you can mix the throttle with one of the other transmitter toggle switches, so the motor is dead unless that switch is in the proper position. I found a way to do this with the DX7 on the Internet.
Bad things can happen, if you're playing with the servo directions on your transmitter, and accidentally reverse the throttle. Instant full power.
As an added safety measure, whenever doing any fiddling around with your electric model, TAKE THE
PROP OFF!
