"That could be the XT-60 power connector, I had a similar issue couple of years ago on an IRIS where power would cut off while you try to close the battery compartment, or if you wiggled the connector - luckily I noticed that when I was still on the…"
"Auto tune seems to help with the issue, I have the parts but haven't done the relocation of the pixhawk yet.
Thanks for looking at my logs."

"My 3000 4s is 27mm thick and its a very tight fit into IRIS' battery compartment.

"4S 3000mAh 20C from Zippy is a bit tight fit, but giving me around 12-14 mins throttle time, depending of how aggressive I fly."
"I tried 9" 3 blade props and 4S battery. Flight characteristic looked under powered, I was going to do AutoTune but I couldn't trust props, (thanks HK) , center hubs were wobbly so I discarded the idea.."
"Watch out for the male XT60 connector pins making not a good contact with the female battery connector.
It just happened to me this morning as I was stuffing the cables and trying to shut the battery door, IRIS got a reset multiple times. I starting…"
