I set up my Bushwacker for FPV, and plugged an AKK AIO straight to the ESC JST Plug, thinking it would be all good. During Flight I noticed I was loosing power and maintaining some servo control. In order to get power back I had to drop throttle to zero and neutral out all control surfaces. After the first occurrence I started back towards the field, the second occurrence happened on my base turn to get to the airfield, managed to save it for about 10 feet, then happened a 3rd time, and had a 1st person view of a lawn dart.
Would the camera over draw the ESC and cause it to zap power form the motor like that. This was my 1st FPV flight with this setup, and 1st time this esc and motor combo had an issue. I Plane on rebuilding the the setup, and using a BEC run from the battery for the camera, eventually, but in the meantime, I am migrating the camera to my Arrow, want to know if powering from the ESC is a bad Idea.
Equipment:
Camera: AKK AIO 7-35V input
35A Flite Test ESC (PackC)
Power Pack C Motor
3s 3200MAH SMART G2 Battery
6 servos: 1 Elevator, 1 Rudder, 2 Aileron on Y Cable, 2 Flaps on Y Cable
Lemon RX Stab+ 6 Axis RX - Running 3 Axis Gyro
