    Complete shutdown Phantom P 3 and crash from 20 Meters

    All we know for sure is it couldn't be CSC because the pros on here say the CSC stick position never happens in real life and it's not a problem. All the "fell from sky" threads are just in people's minds. Plus you should read the manual. Somehow reading the manual fixes the problem (that...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    Like picking at a scab or scratching a rash I have a bad habit of repeatedly trying to speak sense to those that won't hear it. If I knew "asinine" in Chinese I'd be telling it to DJI, heh.

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    Obviously there are a lot of people that think reading the manual solves the issue. It doesn't. It might help, but the UI design is bad and the problem remains a risk. The issue is the pilot unconsciously thinks of the flight control stick manipulation in terms of altitude, rotation, pitch...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    I was researching this history of this CSC accidental shut down issue and found someone complaining on another forum that they let their relative fly the done while it was high in the air thinking it should be ok and the relative inadvertently triggered a CSC shutdown and destroyed the bird...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    I agree newbies should read the manual. I agree reading the manual would likely prevent many of the issues from happening. The design should still change though, then the entire problem and discussion of the problem would go away (and wouldn't that be nice). Thanks, you have a good day too.

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    I wasn't the one who claimed the problem kept coming up. N017RW said the debates reoccur here cyclically and I replied to his comment--if you disagree with him maybe you should take it up with him. I'm repeating my points in responses made to me in the discussion when it's relevant. If...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    I'll leave those with the expert backgrounds to explain to those that have destroyed their drones how you never put the flight control sticks in that combination. I'm more a process-driven guy who observes and makes continual improvements based on what I observe actually happens. Maybe the...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    No, the drone steering command that is overridden by the CSC shutdown command is a valid command and not one that would endanger the craft. The failure is coming from from the alternate functionality added to steering that is accidentally getting triggered. So in your example it would be if...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    "Mission critical" as far as the function of the drone in concerned. Obviously a toy is not a plane or space craft. As for the functionality being around for 3 generations of product... the function of the flight control sticks have been around a lot longer than that. The CSC shut down...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    Speaking as a customer, shifting the blame to the customer by calling "pilot error" on this sort of thing is an insulting cop out. Yes, strictly speaking it is pilot error because the pilot did something they shouldn't have and it destroyed their craft. However what they did was not something...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    It's not the successful fights that are the measure, it's the failures. It's a rare problem but still a problem as this thread and others like it show.

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    It's irrelevant if the bad design has been around for a while, if anything that makes it worse. This thread and the others reporting similar problems show it can and does happen. As sales of this product increase and more people have to deal with this bad design there will be more and more...

    Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

    Sorry but having a flight-stick combination that self-destructs your craft IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I would be demanding a replacement if it were me as this is a flat out design flaw. Yes it is "nearly impossible" to happen but clearly it does happen as we have several examples in this forum. I...

    Flying at a reservoir this weekend...

    This was my original thinking as well. However if it's basically illegal to take off or land at local parks, lakes, or pretty much anywhere in my area except from my own property that might change things.
