Thanks guys. Mine is pulling 56A and 860W per motor on a charged battery. I think that's about three times stock power. Way more than 1:1.
I haven't weighed it yet but with the added P&T FPV system and repaint it will be a little heavier. I removed the wing ribbon cables and interconnection and right sized extensions and Y's so I've saved some weight there.
I still need insignia and marking, those will be added after the maiden.
3221g or 7.1lb or 7lb 1.6oz... Oh, no ordnance or even the center pylon.
I also had to move my elevator link in one hole on the servo, I was getting way more than book full rate.

I've tested with both an Ix12 and a DX9. Both are bound. It was an effort to get the bind to start.
Does anyone have any ideas? Sounds like the ESC is bad. When connected to the receiver, the receiver bound light is not on and there are no beeps counting the cells in the battery. IT's just dead. I also noticed the motors will not turn easily unless they are connected to the battery. Once connected they spin easily by hand. Which is confusing for me since I could see the one that works needing a signal from the ESC so I assume something is getting through the suspected bad ESC. Any ideas?

13th flight, exploring the edge of the envelope. This is NOT a manufacturing defect, but Pilot Error! Too slow of a loop with a significant crosswind at too low of an altitude. Accelerated stall and spiral dive into the ground. New fuselage, cockpit and center wing section and she will fly again.

The ESC wires are marked throttle and per plane go into the blue box marked throttle and aux1. As noted the male to male goes from the aux1 to whatever channel is throttle on your receiver.

Different brands of receivers label their ports differently. Spektrum "throttle" channel is ch.1. Best to see if the ports are labelled. Plus, there are 3 leads that are tagged "throttle". The one coming from the UBEC is MIS-labelled. It is NOT a throttle lead. It gets plugged into any empty port on the RX. If no empty port then use a "Y" on any port and plug it into that. Always note polarity.

I wired my elevator from blue box to rx and seems to work fine, I see we’re James has it wire going from elevator going straight to rx does it matter if it goes thru blue box? Hopefully will maiden tomorrow, thanks Jimmy
