Same thing happened to my T-28 Trojan, and my Apprentice. Trojan I think because it was 0 degrees, and my transmitter batteries weren't fresh, not close to dead though. 2nd light from fresh. Apprentice twice on fine batteries. Using the Dx5 the apprentice came with on both.. I'm lucky it didn't kill anyone. What causes the damn thing to shut off like that? I'm scared to even fly at all anymore. I've been lucky the thing cut someones head off.
I'm chaulking it up to the ESC. I was using a Super Tigre 30amp ESC, and every plane I've put one in has had a problem. I probably didn't program it right, but now I'm using E-Flite 30amp ESCs with no problems.
The same thing happened to my stock (micro) parkzone p-51D. Maybe it is a defect?

Yeah I'm not sure why the stock ones do it too, but I can say if you put an E-Flite 30amp ESC in it, she'll fly GREAT!! :)
