My Castle 60 amp ESC caught on fire, forcing a dead stick landing. At the time, I thought one of the cells of the 4S battery was on fire. This was only the third flight for this plane. It happened back in June of 2012, but I forgot to post it here. 00:00 Piper cub fire 00:33 Flying FPV 01:19 First sign of trouble 01:33 Low voltage warning 01:50 You can hear the ESC burning 02:06 Landing dead stick LOS 02:16 Landing 02:22 Puling battery out 02:38 Picture of burned ESC
