Flying my mcpx a little today and i noticed that if i wiggle the wires that goto the battery, the helicopter will lose power. I checked the connections from the wires to the board and they seem tight. Any ideas on what to check or why this is happening?
The heli flys fine then only time i have an issue is sometimes if i tap the ground kind of hard on a landing or just practicing hovering, it will turn off, then itgo through the startup process of binding and whatnot, then it will be ready to fly<br type="_moz" />

the main batt wires will break going into the board call eflight or take it back to your lhs or resolder if your proficient at soldering. apperently that was something that was overlooked on the v2 version.

inspect the solder on the other side of the board to see if it was a crap solder job if thats the case someone can simply heat that solder back up and fix it. if not then chances are the wire broke right as it enters the board. i have the v1 and mine broke so after i repaired it i added some 5 min epoxy abit further down the wires and to the board so it couldnt bend where eflight put their little dab of glue.</p>

Glad I read this post. While my mCPX doesnt suffer from this, my mSR does! I thought it was batteries...so ordered some new ones and the problem still persists. Guess I'll get the ole solder iron out! </p>
