decreases and
increases then motor
loses power

Battery power is down to the point of
receiver/ESC Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Recharge flight battery or replace battery that
is no longer performing

Motor/ESC is not
armed after landing

Over Current Protection (OCP) stops the
motor when the transmitter throttle is set
high and the propeller cannot turn

Fully lower throttle and throttle trim to arm ESC
