Pixhawk power reset in flight

Not too sure what caused this, i am running an alien X frame with 60amp esc's and Turnigy D3548/4 1100kv motors with 5000mah 4s lipo. i am only getting about 7mins flight time. the esc's seem to run warm although the motors are cool. 10" 3 blade 4.5 props. i did a few laps around my park and a few quick punches then all of a sudden my pixhawk reset it self, you can clearly hear the pixhawk restart after the crash.

interested to hear your comments

  • Right, after hours of testing, unplugging and fault elimination, i finally found the culprit and solved the power reset issue.

    it was the pixhawk power module. After watching some youtube videos and research i learnt that the power module only supports upto 18v or 60a

    heres a link where you can buy a larger power module,

    i hope this helps you to

  • Still having problems with this, very weird, i put my quad on the bench, took the props off, connected a 3s lipo, if i throttle up slowly it works fine, but if it is quick throttle up, the pixhawk resets. escs are cold, lipo is fully charged. not sure, any ideas?
