It certainly sounds like it is loosing signal. When you do loose signal the servos will come back almost immediately but the ESC takes another second or two to 'arm' and bring back the motor. This exactly what you are describing.
If the receiver has two aerials make sure they are aligned at 90 degrees to each other and preferably not close to anything that is metal and electronic like the motor or ESC. A 2.4 receiver aerial can easily get 'masked' by anything metal directly between the aerial and the TX.
Yes that is my thinking too. It’s a FT tiny trainer so no metal and no carbon. I have the antenna at 90 with one coming straight down and out of the fuselage. I previously had the other antenna point to the rear of the plane, but that placed it between the servos. Thought that might be the issue. So I pointed it toward the front of plane but that of course puts it close to the esc and motor. So feel I can’t win with either setup. I think I’m going to move it to another plane and see how it does. Unless someone has something else to try? The frustrating part is the inconsistency of the issue. Very hard to troubleshoot when you can’t reproduce the failure.
