mCX2 inflight power cut off

Looking for ideas of what maybe causing the following problems

- occasionally while inflight I will loose all power, no lights - nothing. Power will restore itself within a few seconds and everything seems to be ok.

- or if its not a total power cut off then its erratic motor and servo actions. typical all I have to do is unplug my battery and then plug it back in and I'm good to go

This happens usually after 3 or 4 flights whether new batteries, and older batteries. I have tried re-binding transmitter, which includes resetting my trim buttons to 0 or center. I've read when the motors get hot problems can arise and I fly my heli a lot.

Just looking for ideas before considering purchasing a new 5-in-1 Control Unit.

Are the 3 to 4 flights one after another? If so let it cool down before flying it. I always let my mCX sit for 5-10 minutes between flights. Maybe a battery problem or like you said it could be the 5-in-1.

usually sequential flights. I let it rest a bit between flights and see

Check the two wires that plug into the battery are secure at the 5n1. They are know to fray and cause intermittent conection.
