flies well, but left engine starts when right motor is at 1/2 throttle. What's with that?????? Something changed. I've flown nitro twins, but this puzzles me.

Have you done the "throttle calibration" on both ESCs? Have you got the throttle trim tab as low as it will go? What about the throttle travel sub-trim? Didn't mess with it, did you? These are ALL considerations on an electric power system. Nitros are not a good comparison for what you must do to synchronize both motors. Nitros need throttle trim in the middle where all "new models" in the memory start off with as liquid fueled motors must be able to idle. Electrics need to be "OFF" when stick is at the bottom.

If you are able, check that each ESC are set to the same parameters. If in doubt, set them both to factory default. Has this plane been crashed or subjected to a prop strike? This could cause internal damage to one of the motors. If one motor shaft is not running true of if a magnet in one motor is loose, they won't both run the same. Was this plane brand new to you or was it bought used? Check the 3 wires on each motor? Are they all in good shape? Connections to ESC solid?
