sorry i didn't report but i found the problem a few weeks ago. the first time the engine died it was due to the throttle servo bracket i built and installed (no fault of wild hare) came loose and killed the engine. that crash damaged a JR plug going to the ignition kill switch that was causing the engine to cut out as connection came and went. i have several flights on her now with no problem at all so maybe i can get back to flying it without thinking it 's going to die on me at the worst time again.
cap10b, i allway replace the DA plug with a deans or i hard solder it but thanks for the heads up.
