What did i burn out ?

[Masteratheis]

Hi,

I have a Wizard x220 that i have been flying for a couple of days. Come in to land after a short flight today and disarmed the motors just above the ground for the quad to land quite gently onto the floor. Once on the floor i disconnected the XT60 cable then a puff of smoke come out from inside the centre of the quad. My remote controller then lost signal and now it wont re connect, nor will the quad do a full startup sequence when plugged in & won't reconnect to the remote controller.

Does anyone know what i have done here, or need any more information ?

Thanks

What lead to this or what looks burnt? Sounds like you may have clipped a wire mid flight.

Pictures?

You should always turn the TX ON first before plugging in your battery/flying and after your flight, dis-arm your quad, and again turn your TX OFF first before pulling your battery.

You should always turn the TX ON first before plugging in your battery/flying and after your flight, dis-arm your quad, and again turn your TX OFF first before pulling your battery.

What is the reason to turn the Tx off before the battery? We were always taught to keep the Tx on until the receiver was turned off as this prevents the possibility of acquiring another signal that would have been considered a part of the noise floor until the nearby transmitter got turned off.

I suppose there are different schools of thought.
