2- The Low voltage action: When low voltage is detected (see conditions above), the reaction of the ESC can be set to MOTOR CUT (this is probably what you have now) or to REDUCED POWER (this is what you should have).
Most ESC have these two settings available but each brand name and model have their own list of options and programmation mode. You will need to do a search on the web for how to program your specific ESC (brand and model).

Hi Raymond,
This is really helpful, thanks. I'll check into it and see what needs to be changed in the ESC programming. Meantime I have some foam gluing to do thanks to a rollover yesterday. I'm also going to log a few hours on RF9.5 with the wind turned up before I fly it again. See you soon. Doug
