RIP. It Was A Short, Sweet 2 Months of Life.

Four flights today with a tough ending to the morning. Flight lessons with my 10 year old son are going well. Left turns are nice and gentle with little loss of altitude. Right turns are little too banked but still good. Fourth flight started uneventful and actually really good. Son was able to turn left and right and progressing with being able to bring the plane back to us. Lots of cross winds. I'd guess gusts up to 10 mpg which didn't make learning any easier. Then it all went spiraling down, literally. He was doing a nice left turn when he said it wasn't responding. I took off the buddy switch and sure enough, no response. No control inputs registered as we watched it descend circle to it's demise. Seemed like I had a touch of throttle response as it was able to do one more circle before obliteration.
We guess a brown out. However, all inputs worked when we tried to diagnose issue at home. Complete loss. In any case, I'll hold off with 4 in 1 modulations with the RadioMaster and try ELRS now. Will likely order a replacement soon! Got to get back on the saddle quickly.
Note: Yellow Avanti handed off to new owner, my Dad 😃. Red Avanti V2 in the works!
