all,
No charger in the equation. I agree with the idea that all is correct except for the voltage coming from the receiver wire. There is only positive and negative wire going to the receiver connector. I think the voltage at the receiver connecter should be more than 5.4. It should at least be 6.6 with the two individual voltages recorded with a load.
the big picture is the plane was flying okay and then went nuts and into the only thing it could find besides sky. My radio is okay as I flew another plane right away. Nothing seems out of the ordinary except the receiver battery which is why I question the voltage at the receiver connector
