Still a little puzzled about that crash. Were you running an Rx battery then, or did you have the BEC in use at that time?
I was running a receiver battery on the maiden. I'm running 4 servos. 1 for each aileron, 1 rudder, 1 elevator. Ailerons are 3152s, a 3152 and a 9202 for rudder and elevator. I can't remember which did what.


Nope, not running the BEC.. Not ever... Never had it set up. Disabled it from the get-go.. whatever cliche you want to use.. (hee hee)


My best theory, is that the ESC overheated and shut down. I had it a little bit buried behind the motor. It's been moved for better airflow.
My Second theory is one of the batteries was faulty and died.
My Third theory, is that Mike was flying it harder than he thought he was, and overheated/maxed out the power without realizing it.
