MGM 160/24 PLANE ESC - Can't Program It?!?!?!

OK - so tried all that out last night - and got nowhere - i dunno what's going on! -lol-

I also tried the PC programming on another PC - got the USB working - but now it wont respond to the controller - i even went and downloaded the new USBCOM data from the MGM website - but still didn't work.

It's halfway there - i mean - it recognises the USBCOM now - but wont recongnise that the controller has been connected - this is following all directions from manual - and some of my own combinations of hooking it up. batts have been connected too - but it just doesn't recognise that it's there.... strange :?

i dunno what i'm gonna do - Mr C says it CAN be used with a pistol TX - as he or some ppl he knows uses it themselves - so it must be possible... i had a thought maybe it's the 3PM i'm running?? i've sent an email to ask which pistol radios were used with this controller...

Tried the spring trick on the throttle trigger too - didn't work either :(

Might end up just grabbing a 4ch stick radio - wanna get into planes later some stage anyways -lol- But might use the 4ch sticks for the mean time - and save for another controller that will work easily - i dunno yet... might even grab/test the radio that Mr Constructor uses on his over there...

will update when i get some more :) feel free to throw some more input - i'm so desperate! -lol-
