everything is hooked up right with the ESC It has the 2 splitters on it the battery one and the receiver one The center red wire is cut and insulated. I tried disconnecting the tail motor with the same results so thats not it Now I have to recheck all the receiver connections. The tail responds normally and It will fly now but not with the tx adjusted for Head hold on the knob only when its turned to the left will it work. But even then in idle up pull the stick down like to go inverted and the motor dies out.
