Success, victory.....I got the ESC wired and programmed, checked the voltage out to the receiver and it was 5.0 so I plugged the receiver in and it powered up, disconnected everything and plugged the motor and the servos in, powered it up and everything worked as advertised. Now to level everything and tweak it. My HB2K and Hurricane 550 will be here tomorrow, not sure I even want the Honeybee now but I've had the brushless conversion and a bunch of spare parts for it sitting here for a month.
