"Would be excellent to have a starting point in any case and share findings.  As well - I think that the acceleration torque issue is an "issue" for that motor mounting.   I'm not sure if that speed setting is available on the airplane version of…"

"Well..... I was getting a current draw off the Pixhawk of 154 amps.  Ended up the current output of the power module was shorted to the main power buss and putting 24 volts to the I sense input.
