Your problem is definitely an ESC mismatch. Some of those tiger motors need a lot of advance to stop them loosing phase sync. That is not the root cause of your problem but a way to cure it so it runs ok. What you need to be able to do is snap the throttle open a few times from idle. If it squeals then it is going to stop in the air. Generally SimonK does not work with those motors unless he has done a recent mod. I believe I cured that problem in the past when I tried those motors with some basic Hobbywing stuff. I went through this with a few different ESC's with Jeremy at Electriflite and he knows which ones work.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
what are Hobbywing opos ESC's? those motors are a standard pole count motor (as opposed to the higher pole count motors) so they should work (for better or for worse) with just about any ESC. I don't know what the opos ESC's are but I'm using both Tiger and Hobbywing Platinum Pro ESC's with a variety of motors (MT2814, MT4008, MN4012) and they work well with all of them.
When I mean programmed I mean just with a simple programming card.
IE just setting
Brake OFF
Battery Type NI-xx
Cutt Off Type: Soft Cut
Cut Off Voltage: High
StartMode: Normal
Timing: Middle
These are just simple Hobbywing Flyfun 40A optos, no flashing or anything and the same setup is on a LOT of others.
Sorry I mean Opto, it was a mistype.
