I was going to put up a flight with my 62" Osiris for a club airshow, I advanced the throttle to take off, the plane accelerated, then the motor quit. The Castle Controller was emitting two beeps, indicating a low voltage error. One of the club members had a meter that measures individual cell </span>voltages<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and everything looked OK. I used another pack to put up a flight
with no issues.</span></div><div style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;'><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div style="background-color: transparent;"><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When I got home I discharged the suspect pack and recharged it. I flew it yesterday and it seemed to work OK. I was practicing(!) some </span>maneuvers<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> repeatedly and the pack quit unexpectedly again, but it may have been my fault for not paying attention to the flight time.</span></span></div><div style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;'><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></span></div><div style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times new roman", "new york",
