Pat,
What I was referring to is that the 2.4 receivers have a lag time between when the brown-out occurs and when control is restored. I have seen the reboot time on the order of 5 seconds (2 seconds seems to be the norm). I know the receiver manfs. are redesigning their receivers to make the reboot time negligible.

But, I agree with everything you posted, It seems people do not pay proper attention to the power systems in their birds. Batteries must be able to handle the amperage load with an acceptable level of voltage drop, wiring gauge needs to be properly sized, extension lengths need to be kept as short as possible, connector usage should be minimized, connectors should be sized for the amperage load, etc...
