Has anyone had any contact with Horizon regarding the 4 in 1 light turning red while in flight? I've seen a few mentions about this issue but not sure if anyone had any answers or explainations on what this is supposed to indicate.
In my case at about 3/4 throttle the green light starts "flickering" over to red. Increasing the throttle a little more brings on full red.
Battery charge does not seem to be an issue.
I ensure throttle and trim are both all the way down on initialization. I don't move the heli during initialization and wait until solid green.

red lightMine does the same thing. I unpluged both motors, and the red light comes on at the same stick position.

Yes, the light will go to red in flight when at full throttle. Mine seems to lose head spead when it is at full throttle. Maybe it is some sort of limiter or something.....dunno.

slower headspeed at full throttleI think it's a result of increased drag from the higher angle of attack. You running with Lipos or the stock batteries? I wonder if the lipos would have just enough juice to keep up the headspeed.
Main motor pinion size would matter here as well. I guess I don't think there is a speed limiter or the red led affects this.
