His radio will not really calibrate properly. His throttle inputs come through fine, and the ESC can find neutral, but the "ATL" setting on his 3PK seems to be causing a issue.

When the ESC and radio are calibrated with the "ATL" set to zero, he has no brakes whatsoever until he turns the "ATL" up to 5 or 10. Upon doing so, it seems he gets max brake, but in the form of drag brake. If he calibrates his ESC and radio with the "ATL" set at 100, he still has no brakes, and upon turning it down the motor starts spinning in the forward direction.

I've looked into it a bit and cannot find any other mention of the problem, and cannot really solve it with my own equipment as I'm using Airtronics radio gear.
