    I appreciate your feedback,

    I agree; its unlikely to be a power / BEC related issue if settings were lost. Settings being lost in any circumstance indicates a code issue.

    Thanks Max.
    Not sure what to do now.
    Maybe I'll update it and stick it on my 250.
    I'ts not too tragic if that crashes.

    Looks like it is defective.
    It died after 5min of setting it up on the 250.
    The seller has offered to look at it under warrany - let's see what happens.
