Default ESC/BEC problem

Hi all, I have an issue with the brushless ESC I'm using. It's a 60A Sky-Wing with external BEC. I'm running it in a 78" powered gluider with a little outrunner that only pulls about 20 amps max, a 3s LiPo and full size reciever with 2 standard sized servos. The problem is the BEC gets very warm and seems to shut down the receiver sometimes. I flew it yesterday for the first time and narrowly avoided a bad crash. Also the rudder servo is very glitchey. Any advice/info would be welcome.

And I left some suggestions in the "[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7915557/tm.htm]Brushed/Brushless motors, speed controls, gear drives[/link]" section. Cross-posting in multiple sections results in duplication and confusion!

Posting in multiple sections leads to more opinions. If your confused, I'm sorry.
Take it easy.
