Hi Mezri, thanks for the suggestion. The ESC installation is the stock setup from the factory, and the plane has vents to direct airflow to the inside of the fuselage. I will have to check how the heat sinks are located. There are a few other folks at the club who have the same plane and setup and I will check with them as well.

I changed transmitters and rebound the aircraft and flew it 3 times today, still had one or two power drops but not as many as before. I'll change out the rx when I get it from Motion RC. Meantime, as long as I stay close to the field it seems relatively safe to fly with this intermittent issue.
