When I recovered the Solo, I brought it back to the table and tried a motor test. #4 would not run, so I unscrewed it, pulled it back, and saw the red wire detached from the esc. I took a photo.Are you actually finding the wire disconnected? Or are you making an assumption on the cause? The log file is not going to detect a wire being disconnected. It will just show the loss of attitude control as the desired attitude and actual attitude diverge. And it will generally show the desired throttle going up on the motor as the angle continues to go down. Both indicate a loss of thrust to one a motor, causing a loss of control. But that isn't going to tell you WHY. If could be due to a wire disconnecting. It could be due to mechanical failure. it could be due to electronic failure in the ESC. It could be due to propeller failure. Etc etc etc.
In your most recent video, it appeared to regain attitude control and thrust just before hitting the ground, where it was of course too late to arrest the descent, but at least it softened the impact.

I posted the flight log on Facebook, but I can't post the flight log here for some reason. This site won't let me post a file with .bin
Oops my bad- still not awake. In post 1 he said the red wire pulled out of the ESC board, so it sounds like a connection (solder) problem. Sometimes cold solder joints can cause intermittent failures. (I learned that building Brite Lites).Are you actually finding the wire disconnected? Or are you making an assumption on the cause?

Red wire pulled off the solder connection on the esc/motor. It was still connected at the barrel connector. There is a photo at the end of the video.
That would be something the smarter guys need to answer. definitely hard on the ESC's on a Solo I think. How fast were you flying? The RCout to your motor pods was frequently maxed out.
I was not thinking it would cause a wire to break. Crash after a failure maybe. Or maybe not.
