Speed control HELP !!!
I have a GWS A-10 and I bought a Airtronics mini electirc flight pack for it. It comes with a cs-20 speed control. It is rated for 22A continuous and 88 A Max. I got the whole thing together and tried to fly it the other day. After about 15 sec. of running the engines they quit. I still had control of the plane (thank god) and got her down ok. I could not bring the motors back up unless I shut the power off to the plane and turned it back on. The only thing I can think of is that the BEC is kicking the motors off because of low voltage. Any help here would be appreciated. I really want to get this bird to fly. It is my first electic and I would like to switch to ALL electrics, but this one already has me stumped.
Thank You for any replies.

Are you sure your battery pack was completely chrarged? I've had the same problem with batteries new out of the box. I've found it a good idea to cycle the charge once or twice before putting it in the plane.

After a little research, the EDF50 motors that come with the A-10 only use 4.2 amps on 7.2 volts per motor. Your 22 amp ESC should have no problem whatever. I'd consider the charge on the battery pack as the culprit for sure.
