Default Motor speeds up and slows down

Howdy All, I have an issue with my motor slowing down and speeding up again. During flight the motor will slow down for a split second and then resume original speed. It may do this 4 times during the course of a 5-1/2 min flight. I am using an AXI 2204-54 with a APC SF 7x4, Great planes BL-8 BEC Speed controller, Great Planes 350 Mah 3 cell lipo. It almost sounds like the plane is taking a radio hit but all other controls are fine, only throttle is effected. Any clues?


Here is my scratch built plane.

Well, throttle is the first thing to go when you get a radio hit...

It doesn't appear to be hitting LVC, does it?

No I don't think so. I never let the Low Voltage cut out kick in. I typically have her landed before it kicks in. I can run the motor and see if the LVC kicks in. Are you thinking it is the LVC?
