Having intermittent power loss to my flight controller during flights. FC shutdown causes the quad to drop out of sky unexpectedly, usually caused by lost power to the FC from cold solder joint, loose cable, or voltage spikes. Cold/dry solder joints to ESC means the quad doesn't respond to TX stick for a brief moment or just drops out of sky. Checked all my power connections and they look okay visually. Should recheck solder joints and wires for continuity - sometimes when using JST connectors with silicon-coated wires the wire may be broken at the crimping point. Any specific areas I should focus on first?
