I’ve used the T5 for six months now with reversable speed controllers and it works fine .
However, now I have a problem – I want to use the T5 with an Overlander
XP speed contoller on an Orlyonok A90 Ekranoplan powered by one tail
mounted propellor. Problem is that the speed controller will only start
when the centre sprung throttle stick is pulled fully down (reverse on
most of my boats). Releasing it to the centre position then leaves the
prop going at half speed which is not ideal from a safety point of view
.
Overlander tell me that I cannot force the speed controller to
recognise or accept the mid position as zero throttle. Any suggestions
as to how to solve this problem would be appreciated. However, I still
want to be able to use the T5 as it is for my other boats.

Why not take the centring spring off the other Tx stick and use that channel for the throttle on your non-reversing ESC?
