Hi ZeXx86,

It's me again with a brand new heli and a brand new problem.
I have a new Synergy 516 heli where the the motor keeps stopping mid flight at random, the servos still work fine so six autos later it is still not broken :)
I have attached the log from the Spirit and I was hoping you may be able to give me a clue with regards to the problem.
I am not using the Spirit governor but I am using the governor store one on the Hobbywing 100A ESC, I have a feeling the new ESC may be the problem but I'm hoping these logs may help.

Thanks in advance once again.

Hi,

for sure we can help.

The log looks strange - are you flying for 40 minutes?
Is the Governor enabled in the unit? It must be disabled if governor from the ESC is used.

I thought it was strange as well.
Only using the governor in the Hobbywing, the Spirit one is off.
Flew one pack without issues, waited around for a while and then flew a two minute flight before the motor stopped, waited 10min and then flew for another 2 min without issues with the same battery.
Got home, downloaded the log and scratched my head.

For those wondering, the receiver was faulty and was causing the weird issues.
Swapped it out and no more troubles.

Cheers!
