Sorry if there is already a thread here for this issue. If there is, it isn't getting enough attention, because I haven't seen it! :highly_amused:
Tonight I tried attitude mode for the first time. When I flew the other day, I couldn't get it to go into attitude mode. I have a Dx6i, which only has two-position switches and is kind of a pain to calibrate the mode control because you have to hit them right on the dot.. Even though at home it was working, when I got to the park only manual mode worked.
Anyway, this is besides the point. 15 seconds into my first flight, the motors stop spinning. I swear I was in Intelligent cut-off. It dropped out of the sky and I broke my last prop - game over till I can order some more.
This is an issue that people have been trying to draw attention to over in the Naza rcgroups thread. They really need a naza forum over there...the thread is way too fast moving and it would be difficult to assemble the full conversation. But in a nutshell, DJI kind of ignored the problem and blamed it on the user. More and more people are experiencing this, though.
Here is one guy's crash and a follow up video that makes it really clear what the problem is.
Here is an edited onboard video of my crash. Sorry the video is such bad quality (I was using really bad triblade props because they were all I had). Just submitting as proof. When I got home I tested everything out by holding the quad in my hand and arming, disarming. Everything worked normally - the motors did not cut when I brought the throttle down. When I was in the air...that's another story.
