RE: esc/bec problem
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll check the draw but the pack was fresh and I used the same motor/prop with a 25A ESC and had no problems. Also, the entire receiver is losing power (no flight controls) so I think low pack voltage cutoff can be eliminated (I was also gluiding motor off the first time it happened).
The BEC gets very hot after the pack is plugged in for a few minutes (motor off). I'm only running 2 servos but they are the big ones and the glitching one is very active. It really seems like a thermal overload switch. I don't know anything about this ESC, I got it cheap from Ebay. Here is the link.

I tried switching the elevator and rudder servos and the problem moved to the elevator. I also tried connecting the rudder servo to the aileron channel and it glitched bad there too. Do you think the glitching might cause the BEC overload?
I tried moving wires/components around and sometimes find a spot that is glitch free but doesn't last long and a tiny shift will start it again. I just replaced the brushed motor and ESC that I had been using without any glitching problems. I'll try hooking it back up to check.
