No throttle response using aura 5

Tx is spektrum NX10. Satellite rx. I have solid red and green lights on the board. The satellite is also solid red. I have 2 throttles with differential thrust enabled in the config tool. But no throttle response. I know the speed controllers and motors are good because I bench tested them with a servo tester before installation. All the control surfaces are functioning. What am I doing wrong ? Any suggestions would be welcome

Do all of the servos move when you move the sticks?

Yes, but the esc's were not making their happy arming tune. I finally figured out that I had to run the throttle trim way negative of neutral then the esc's responded, and all was good. I figured it would be something stupid.

It's possible that there is a problem with the mixing on the Aura board. For starters, what version of the aura 5 fimware is on the board. What channels do you have everything connected to? If you plug servos into the motor channels, do they move with the throttle? Sounds like a mixing issue on the Aura 5 board.

The twin bdf's sound awesome ! I used drone motors, props, and esc's.

Four of the same sort of thing sound even better!
You can even hear s light "beat" as the ducted props are not quite in sync.
