Great morning yesterday to maiden our new B-24.
Flew two Admiral 4S 4000 packs during the 3 minute maiden and had 72% left the packs. Second flight was flown during a gusty 10-12 mph wind and the Liberator handled it like a champ, even during the full flap landing.Short maiden flown on two Admiral 4S 4000 batteries. Landed with 72% power remaining in both batteries. Great flying warbird!

I have a few questions about the ESCs that come with the Liberator kit:
Is there a downloadable manual for the B-24 ESC?
What is the ESC make and model no.?
Does each ESC have its own BEC? (I assume not since the kit includes a separate stand alone BEC.)
And along those same lines... Does each ESC require 5V power from the +/- wires on the throttle servo cable?
Is there a hardware programmer for this ESC?
Thanks for any help!

Actually, the calibration process is different for different ESC brands. It can even be different within a brand when they change which software they use (or copy from some other brand)
Some brands you go through a range calibration EACH TIME you power it up with the ESC requiring to see a low throttle then a high throttle then low again before arming.
And yes. I am pretty sure that Motion carries the programming cards for the ESCs in the Flightline products. They definitely carry the cards for Dynam/Detrum and Castle.
There are some programming cards that are cross-brand compatible. This is because the assorted Chinese brands steal each other's software on a regular basis. (Castle only matches Castle, Jeti only matched Jeti last time I checked)
It is definitely easier to use a programming card than to go by beep codes and yes. its easy to accidentally put an ESC into programming mode and screw up the programming (especially when setting up a new model and throttle is reversed), so having a card is a good idea.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

I would advise caution running up the motors for an extended period of time without props attached. It's a good way to burn something out prematurely. I would put the props on, then take it outside and run it up to see if you still hear the noise, and to see if any motors are not pulling as hard as the others.Pat
