A motor cut early in flight and would not run properly on the ground even with other packs.
This test captured a brief full throttle period and another voltage dip just before the motor cut cut.
The first dip shows the motor run up to full power successfully.
The motor cut just after the recording so the second voltage drops indicates a sudden increase in current after running for ~1.5secs.
Knowing that the prop had recently been increased, and that the motor was extremely hot after tests, closer scrutiny reveals discoloured windings; cooked motor!
The close tracking of all three cells and good voltage under initial load suggests the pack is in good condition.
