Seems very odd. What does "bad" mean on your osd? Sorry. Glad you didnt fly into the freeway!

Cedar, did you see a sudden pitch command just like in Kloner's log? Was it also on a hex?
Kloner, I thought the RSSI was supposed to be significantly higher, ideally? You're getting into the 20's a lot and that seems pretty low to me...
It's crazy because everything looks spot on, low vibration, hover right at 50%, and nice sat lock. Are you using EZUHF?

I noticed that same thing. I thought it was supposed to up closer to 50, no?

there was no freeway, that is taxi cabs on harbor drive on a sunday morning at 4 am....1100mm hex
looking at that screen, the two left numbers bouncing around is is the rssi, o is perfect, 100 is leaving,,,,, they are super sensitive,,,,, BAD is bad packets and maintained 0 the whole flight even staring at the ground, they build up so you know you had hit failsafe..... the 100 is the link quality and is what starts to fade when there is a problem, 100 is perfect, 0 means shes not there anymore.... the disco pro runs on the same method.... the two numbers bouncing is each antenna and it's a diversity receiver... There was no radio breakup....... theres a pretty high probability of me pulling back on the elevator when it pitched down, when there was ZERO response, i chopped the throttle.....end of log was before it hit the ground.....
facts:
nose dropped
motor 2 went full throttle
no response
radio had signal rock solid even on the ground, during the hit, when it happened.....it was 80 feet away
@ 6:03, see that car, almost bought it, landed in the parking stall next to it.... cars2go... http://sandiego.car2go.com
EzOSD and taranis are two completely different systems.....
here is the same rig running around it's first flights.... i don't even have any video nor ever seen the rssi budge,,, only been 2 miles out but the actual link quality never moved below 90.....

EzUHF and EzOSD is a system as well, and that's what your looking at. This is the standard for long range fpv,,,,, places like frsky come along changing how every other system looks at stuff, like osd 50 being a max number, theres already 20 other companies with osd's that tell rssi and that's not the standard... 0-100 is

This is what a tbs discovery pro with a built in osd has, it's the same numbers, amp draw, mah, rssi, bad packets, signal strength..... immersion calls rssi - link quality, or at least as i know them.... the solid number is the RSSI, the bouncy ones is each antennas link quality.... those bouncy ones get to 100, then the rssi on the right will start to drop.... it's like a pre warning your getting out of range or something between you and it

I'm not looking at anything! I was simply replying to a question about RSSI signal strength, have no interest other than that, and certainly no interest in comparing 'things' :cold:

We have had this conversation over the years and concluded that it was not so much the controller but the configuration that allowed an octo/x8/y6 to do so well with a motor out. I think only recently have controllers added software to adapt to a motor out. This requires the heli to actually know a motor is out though which they , as of yet, dont do. I am guessing DJI made the FC aware of an out of normal yaw to detect it? Not sure.
On my first Xaircraft I had a motor port on the flight controller itself go dead mid flight. I wonder if this is what happened to you Steve.

I know right, he's a complete jerk everywhere he goes. So many in this forum, and others, think the same thing.
Its a pattern.

Ah right, I forgot how he RSSI worked. Pretty much rules out radio issues in my mind.
So have you tested your esc's and checked motors post crash?
Were you looking through the FVP cam at the time? and that's what caused your pitch reaction?
I would speculate that a 30lb hex would not do well with a motor out on just about any flight controller. The DJI method seems to be to apply full rudder so that it will spiral down but not flip- of course, to figure out which way to yaw depends on what motor went out. There's a great demo of a quad that manages "controlled" flight after losing a motor using this method, from one of the robotics labs on YT.
This is scary that it's not just you, but Beauregard too. I'm guessing both of you were not using just any old cheapo ESC's either, and not pulling more than 10 amps per motor. I guess it happens that a bearing goes mid flight, but it seems unlikely.
Which leaves only one cause...
