Hi,
I'm using the dragon link with ardupilot 2.5 for the first time, I usually uses the RMILEC and 9x controller.
the problem is that when I switch to stabilize mode the motor starts turning even though the throttle stick is pulled down, when I go back to manual it stops most of the time or starts turning at a very low speed then stops and doesn't respond any more (throttle only). I tried putting the plane into failsafe and the motor kicked back in but I don't understand why this is happening with stabilize.
I'm using the FUTABA 6j.
Can you help me guys.

What ESC are you using? I had a Castle ESC and the default is auto calibrate. If I had an RTL failsafe the ESC would get a new low calibration and when I went back to manual the motor couldn't be stopped. It would always calibrate to the max/min endpoints that it saw. I used their usb programer and turned of the autocal and then calibrated manually the end points from the throttle stick.
same thing happened to me, so I went into the arduplane basic trim page? and turned minimum throttle to zero.
i have no idea what the rammifications of doing this might be down the road. I do know that when i switch to RTH it does come back. but never checked with the radio off.
Have you turned the loging on and see what is happening with your RC inputs?
That might help you track down the issue
