Great work Carl, I will build one for sure. It may come in handy some time. Thanks for posting.

After yesterday's flights with my Mattel Pulstar I'm going to have the warning that the motor is about to cut a little earlier. Currently it does a momentary cut each second for the last 5 seconds, but I'll do this 15 seconds from the end instead. So a momentary cut each second for 5 seconds as before but then the final 10 seconds normal power. It'll give more time to get into a position for better landings.

Thanks Wayne, I just need to upload the latest sketch where you can set when the motor momentarily cuts 5 times before the end of the timed motor run. I'll do that later.

I've uploaded the updated sketch at the end of the first post:
15 seconds before the motor cuts at the end of it's run, there are 5 momentary cuts to the motor to indicate the motor run is soon to end (this time period can be customized in the code)
