        Hey.

        I could do with some more details about the model please, such as type, esc, BEC used etc?

        If the spektrum satellite lights were flashing it's telling us the radio link failed and a classic cause of this is through a brownout as the radio gear input voltage dropped too low and the system reboot. This is why I need to know the above model details to try and help pinpoint a possibly cause better.
        Also it may help knowing what the model was doing just before the problem.

        The 3GX is pretty solid, there has been a handful of actual unit failures, but the majority of problems have been through the BEC power supply being not up to the job of supplying power and the radio link then fails.

          Hey.

          You rebound after the V2 setup? Also what method of binding did you use, last position hold or user set failsafe positions?

                      Although pondering on what i was doing at the time i think may of coused the problem.
                      On starting piked up heli left hand radio right hand, 2.4 mast pointing away from heil, i think this is the brown out. But what bothers me is why it went full revs ??

                        Did you setup the gov on 3GX as that's the only poss cause, 3GX cannot cause the revving if gov is not used
                        Today's outlook is fine for flying.

                            Well if the sat lights flashing then gov in tx could be the fault if signals lost
