I have a Bixler2 in the box. I would appreciate it if anyone who also has this model and can help me put it together. The manual is not that helpful. Any day Any time

The plane parts present no trouble. It's how to connect the ESC to the motor. there are no colour coded wires. Just 3 black wires. Can't see where they connect to motor
Just to confirm that what Stuart says is correct. A brushless motor has three wires coming out of it...often random colours or black. A brushless speed controller also has three black or random coloured wires coming out of one end...the other end has two wires which are usually black and red*
You can connect the three wires from the motor to the three wires from the controller in any order. It the motor spins the wrong way you can swap any two wires and it will now spin the right way.
*The red and the black wires coming out of the other end of the controller have to be connected to the red and the black wires on the battery. If the motor spins the wrong way DO NOT swap these wires. The speed controller will instantly fail, often catastrophically in a ball of flames leaving a stench that lingers for weeks.
