I run my packs in parallel, so the whole system starts simultaneously when the first one is plugged in.

I just went to MotionRC and they finally have in stock the ESCs I tried ordering originally. I just ordered them, which will definitely solve my problem. If anyone's in the market for brand new, up to 8s, 120a ESCs, with reverse, I've got two.

They are relabeled HW Flyfun V5. I bought five from HW Direct but they had issues working in my Avanti and L-39, they would cut off in flight and NOT reset, so I returned then. Almost lost both planes with them and did some damage to my Avanti. Long discussions with a HW rep and tried settings and never got them to work well. Real shame as they are cheaper and available through HW Direct.

If not, which Motors/Fans are these?
I ask b/c I bought the MiG 29 setups and the Tomcat ARF.
Don't really want to change out motors and fans if I don't need to do that.
Thanks in advance.

Dougcarr73, thanks, Doug. Thinking I'd want to change to reversing ESC's with these motors. I briefed earlier posts; have you found ESC's that suit this purpose yet? Inquisitively, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Those were bought in April of '21.
So I am technically disadvantaged by self-inflicted victimhood, namely, slow build times.
I suppose I could upgrade a Freewing F-86 ARF, if that is even available as an ARF and the same with a T-33 ARF, if available. WOW, 2 new jets over one timing error.
I wonder if 'she whose authority exceeds my rank' would notice, nah, of course not....what could possibly go wrong?
What to do, what to do.....
