I plugged my motor in on my Hawk sky and turn it on and it was working fine, but the prop was turning the wrong way. So I switched the two black leads and the motor was turning the right way, but then all of a sudden smoke came from out of the engine...What happened? Did the power lead touch one of the others? Now when I turn the motor on, the prop twitches and then starts to smoke? Do I need to buy a new motor and a new ESC?

That is so funny, I finally got my Tx to work for the plane on Saturday and the same thing happened! But mine is not connected to an ardupilot, just regular rc setup
