Hi all, I recently purchased the 1.2m P-47 and have had some amazing flights using a spektrum smart 4s 2200. I purchased a 4s 2200 with an xt60 and bought an xt60 to ic3 adapter. On the first flight with the new battery, the plane felt a little less powerful than normal. Then, about 30 seconds into the flight my throttle started coughing and the voltage alarm on my NX6 went off. The thing is though is that the battery was supposedly fully charged. I then lost the throttle completely but was safely able to maneuver the plane to the ground. I quickly checked the battery using my voltage checker and still had 3.9 volts a cell, no dead cells. I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what could've happened? I initially thought bad adapter, but wouldn't that cause total loss of power to the esc?

I don't like adapters in general and avoid using them, but unless the adapter has a poor soldered joint it is not likely the cause. Did the adapter get hot?
You don't say what brand the new pack is, nor what the ESC is, so it's hard to be more detailed.
Do you know what the LVC voltage is for your ESC?
