I successfully launched my quadplane on a 3S power system. However, 3S system wasn't enough power for the front plane motor. I then replaced the quadmotors and the front motors will 4S capable motors. Each quadmotor is capable of producing 0.8KG thrust at about 11 amps each (44 total amps). I tested one with a servo tester on the plane and consumed 12 amps at full throttle. My quadplane weighs less than 4 pounds so that should be more than adequate times 4. I've recalibrated the ESCs and made test flights. The craft will not lift off. I'm only drawing 12 to 16 amps at full throttle, not the near 44 they should be at full throttle. The logs show one motor near the top on PWM, two in the middle and one near the bottom. I haven't been able to figure out what is going on. Any thoughts? Thanks.
