Afternoon all

Weird one today. 2nd time ive taken out the self build and after one flight it wont take off.
Motors do not spin up and bleeps are not the same when lipo plugged in. The arm and disarm are working and i have above 8 sat for the gps rescue. Throttle in lowest position but no joy.
Once i get home and plugin again all is good. Esc temp while around 40C whilst not working. I cant see any loose connections but have not stripped down to look.

Baffled by this one anyone have any ideas.

What i did notide today was when i landed a little hard i lost signal i was only 20 meters away. Signal came back but no take off.

Have you set warnings to display on OSD ?

Yea i did that

I have another issue.
Think i tried to turtle roll to many times today and fried my ESC i have continuity on output and motor twitches. Not solved the arming issue though but that will have to wait for new ESC.

ESC should arrive tomorrow :slight_smile:
Thanks @OzoneVibe for correcting my spelling LOL

@Steviegeek

Thats the strange thing
I have no warnings. Tried to look at black box info but didnt have a clue what it was telling me :slight_smile:

Strange that it’s happened a couple of times.

Replaced the ESC and flew 1 pack. Did several hard landings and flipped it on the grass.
Started straight back up with no issues and got 8 mins total flight time. I think the ESC was the issue.

Now to scrub off the mud :slight_smile:

Thanks again all
