Some members here suggest that manual mode is the only certain way to stop a Phantom from flying away. If this is true, what does it mean for those of us who are still learning to fly in GPS and ATTI? Surely switching to manual will cause a crash, won't it?
I'd certainly rather crash and pick up the pieces than lose the entire Phantom (and camera, FPV, etc.) but I wonder if there is some simple maneuver in manual mode that might result in a gentler, softer crash? Or do we just pull the right stick down and close our eyes, praying we don't completely crater the darned thing?
