Got home from Nefi and finally broke down and replaced the starboard nacelle on La Patrona. Wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be, took about six hours, painting included. One thing was that it was a lot easier to install the upgraded motors, I could hold the nacelle vertically and drill the new holes for the motor mount much easier not to mention getting the screws in the correct holes as well. As a tip, if you want to line up screw holes, three tooth picks will hold the motor mount in place while you thread the screw down the fourth hole. The only tricky part is threading the ESC cable back into the fuse. My wings are so sealed with paint that they were NOT coming off!!
So, with a bit of finagling, I got it by removing the control board and utilizing the time honored method of asking the wife with the small hands to grab it and pull it through :Cool::Cool:.
Done and she looks great. Two coats of grey, six coats of pearl and four coats of clear later, back to her old beautiful self, just in time to go to Riverton on the 7th

After you bound the receiver to the radio, check the polarity of the ESC’s throttle servo lead going to the receiver. Make sure that’s the correct polarity to match the receivers polarity at the pins. Ensure proper seating of all servo connections at the board and any servo y-harnesses or extensions you may have used (if you used any).

Strange, it also might be the receiver. Roll the throttle trim right back, that might help. It bound originally, correct?? If not, I know the Spektrum receivers I've used can be difficult to bind unless you roll the trim back. If it does bind, pull the bind plug and disconnect the batteries, reconnect and see what happens.
Also, once everything is good to that point, unplug again and calibrate the ESC's. Advance your throttle all the way forward (Pull your props first), plug one ESC in and listen for the beep, then roll the throttle back, repeat for the other side. If you're running the ESC's in Parallel and the batteries in parallel, then you can do both at the same time using one battery.
Hopefully we can help you get to the bottom of this.

Should I try and calibrate one side or motor at a time or plug them both in and then go through that process? I really appreciate all the comments and replies. Been in hobby little over a year and I’m hooked to nitro and electric planes. Warbirds, sport flyers, EDFs lol. Motion RC has been good and my local hs has been great as well. Wish there was a build for each product and then some common q&a vids as well. Especially for the more “complex” birds lol.
