Hi my name is Larry,
I'm having trouble with brown outs. I have crashed twice when I lost all power.
For troubleshooting after the last crash, the spectrum was flashing this is why I say problem is a brownout.
I ran it while holding on the ground and the ESC got hot and kicked the motor off.
I thought maybe to big a prop, so I took prop off and ran it without a prop. The motor got real hot but the speed controller (ESC) didn't.
So then I ran it with a small prop blowing on the ESC and it seemed to work good.
This tends to make me think it needs more air flow.
Is this correct thinking? Does anyone have any ideas that might help.
Thanks
