I had an interesting experience with mine today. I replaced the OEM BEC with a Castle Creations BEC 2.0. On takeoff roll I momentarily lost control of the model and then aborted into the grass. No damage but super weird. Taxiing back down the runway I realized the power was cycling on and off. So in explanation if I cycled the flying surfaces after a few seconds of operation everything would freeze for a moment, and then after a beep everything would start moving again, over and over. The red LED on the Castle BEC 2.0 was blinking fast. I called Castle and we found that the signal wire from the BEC was causing the problem. The BEC 2.0 has two power leads, one is just pos/neg the other is a servo type wire where the signal wire is used to program the BEC and normally does nothing when plugged into the RX. But in my case the signal wire was causing the BEC to cycle on and off. The flashing LED is what you see when it is plugged into a computer via the Castle Link for programming. Like I said very weird. Pulling the signal wire out of the Rx plug solved the issue. A steady red LED on the BEC and continuous power. I don't know what caused this interaction. Maybe the electronics in the A-10, Or my RX ( a Spectrum AR-6200 DSM2 ). But I feel I was lucky not to lose the aircraft. So I wanted to share.

The 5100 is 866g
The 6000 is 820g
Not that weight matters in this bird. But the extra juice is nice
