Well, had a funny experience this morning. My brother and I were out flying, it was beautiful, but the wind was just coming up... just as it was getting too windy for my brother to be flying his slow stick anymore, he decided he needed "just one more" so off he goes.... about 30 seconds later he shouts no more throttle...... but the motor is screaming. the ESC just had had it, and opened up wide. lasted over 15 min running around waiting for it to get slow enough to land. (no prop saver, and brand new prop, shaft and gear)
anyway, all was well, but I had only heard of this sort of thing happening to the gassies, when a throttle servo craps out... Just wanted to share
