title_body: Motor will not go above half thrust. Why and how to fix? I fixed the esc of my aircraft, but now it won't go above half thrust for whatever reason. Here is a short record of the electronics in the craft;
  Crashed twice, broke esc, soldered 3-pin ground connector back to the esc, wrapped in electrical tape, worked fine, all seemed good, now won't go above 1/2 thrust.
  When I go above half thrust, the motor will stop spinning, and the plane will beep a few times. After about 3-5 seconds, if I pull the throttle back down to 0 and then push back up, it will resume spinning but still will not go above 1/2 thrust.
  I do have a new esc on the way from amazon so that might fix it but still have no idea why the plane won't go above half thrust. Any idea why and how to fix it?
  Plane has 1 motor, rudder, and elevator in use. Ailerons were not connected for the flight when I noticed it would not go above half thrust.
upvoted_answer: This sounds very much like like a PWM/analog ESC miscalibration issue to me. PWM ESCs required signal calibration to ensure that both the RC receiver and the ESC are on the same page about what kind of pulse length constitutes both 0% and 100%, as there can be clock speed discrepancies and other issues with the protocol.
  
  I can't exactly find a source I like for this procedure to explain it better, so here's my rendition: (modified from those listed here)
  
  With ESC power unplugged, connect the ESC signal to the receiver's throttle channel.
  Turn on the transmitter and receiver and move the throttle to 100%.
  Enable power to the ESC and wait for it to beep a few times indicating it's in calibration mode.
  Briskly lower the throttle channel to 0% and wait for the ESC to beep to indicate it's now calibrated
  Try to operate the ESC like normal and see if the full-throttle range has been restored
