Can someone review my log and tell me why this plane is losing power in flight?
Bad battery? Failsafe issue?
These files are both dated April 2024. Are these the ones you want help with?

Yessir. I haven’t flown this one in some time and am circling back to it.
When I checked it looked like a failing ESC, or at least cutting out. There was throttle PWM but current dropped the near zero periodically. I had let Mark know since we are sometimes in contact.
Happy to be corrected if someone else wishes to take a look.
@xfacta, Yeah, I’d agree with that. ESC/motor/power distribution failure.
I’m guess it’s 4S. The battery voltage was dipping really low. On one of the logs it was 13.2 v. When the cut outs occurred wasn’t the lowest voltages so I don’t think it’s an ESC low voltage cut-off, but might be worth looking at the ESCs for a temperature cut-off. Especially since it seems to re-set. I’d say the battery isn’t healthy, but not the cause of the power loss.

Thanks. I believe this to be the case as well. I’ll convert these to 6S with a larger ESC and motor.
