Ok....now that Scotty helped me get my head out of my butt (thanks again Scotty), I have rewired the FC and basicly finished the build.  Still have some tuning to do, but everything appears to work: )  I did notice that the motors appeared to get quite hot after just a few secinds of running.  I used the long screws that came with the motors because the fram is 4mm thick.  I suspect they are too long, so that my next task...shorter screws....or washers.  Weight without battery is 384g, AUW with 4S 1500mah 60C battery is 552g.

Wiring corrected

It will probably be next weekend before I get it in the air.  Lots going on this week right before Christmas, pluis the weather doesn't look favorable for flying.  I'll post some flight video once I get it in the air.  I was able to stack everything I needed in the center so it did leave alot of extra room.  Thanks for your help Scotty, you da man!! Thumbs Up
