[NSRCA-discussion] Brio 10

[Bob Richards]

Jay,
   
  Is it possible the controller overheated AFTER impact, and something else caused the crash? That is one thing about electrics, a stalled motor, after impact, can cause overheated (destroyed) components.

  Lost my Brio 10. I was using a Castle Creation's Phoenix 25 ESC which was
programmed to 25A. Regardless, it overheated, the surface mount integrated
circuits became unsoldered, and the BEC shut down. I was in the 3rd quarter
of a loop. The rest is history. The motor was shut down but a 90 down dive
destroyed the front end anyway. I had flown it three times before and
checked the temp after each flight. It was barely warm to the fingertip.
