Default Lost Control 500 3G

Hi all, I am new to the 500 esp 3G, was trying out idle up today, just going up and down fast, then my bird lost power and came to the ground fast, just broke a landing skid, checked it all over found nothing wrong, other than the 3G, there was no lights on? so did a rebind and all is ok now, wounder why it lost its bind? any ideas?

This is just an educated guess, but you may have run out of amps for the electronics. Flybarless takes more juice to run the servos.

did you still have control of the heli when it lost power? i.e. was it your ESC cutting out.

Are you running a separate BEC for your electronics?

Hi there..

When you crash landed, were u able to move the servos?

If you lost control complete, u might have encountered the same problem I had before, which is the loosen connector. My connecting wire/connector pin was loose during flight, causing me 4 crashes in 2 weeks.

I later on shoe glued both ends of the connector, and the power cut-off problem went away.

Please double check your connector. I hope you are not as unlucky as I was.

Sincerely,
Den
