Default 5...Futaba Attack 3 sets not working. Why ?

The throttle channel only works a servo in the stick down direction. Other channel, rudder is fine with the same servo.

If plugged into the throttle channel. The arm is always at 45 degrees off center.
ALL 5 old sets are doing the samething with different servos. Throttle sticks are all in center position. Spring return & centered.
I want to use them in a summer childrens program.

. Reset throttle stick.
Throttle stick has two "Neutral" positions, refer page four of attached manual.
. Center for use with F/R EP models.
. Lowered "center" for use with GP models which require longer throw for throttle and short rearward "brake".

Futaba radios you need to make sure the throttle channel is reversed for it to work correctly.

Default It is magic !!

I changed nothing.
They are all working perfectly with the throttle stick in center spring return.

Did NOT use them for 10 to 20 ++ years. Did they have any memory chips that could have been revived after having power on all of them ? All did not work before lunch. All worked after lunch.

Maybe they were hungry to.
