P3 flip and crash to the concrete....

[atki]

Thanks Dronason. I've done that. I still would like to know how to perform a CSC. Both sticks moved into what position? straight down? I'm certain I did that. First left stick. Then held left stick and pulled down right stick.

How do you arm the motors before take off? (Make the motors start)

LOL, no, got the crikey from an Aussie friend many years ago. Live in the northeast USA.

Lol all good, nice curved ball

CSC = down and in. All I needed to know.

I read the manual StumbleBee....numerous times. CSC shutdown never was impressed upon me on page 46......it is now......

Here's a slider......I use DJI Go 100% of the time to arm the motors. Down and in hasn't been in my repertoire since owning a P2 vision +

I'm sorta surprised no one mentioned a potential drawback to a CSC shutdown. There have been pilots who have posted that their Phantoms flipped onto their sides during a CSC shutdown! Apparently if the sticks aren't moved precisely in unison this can happen. I once always did CSC shutdowns but noticed that it was near impossible to not have the bird ever so slightly tilt during the process. This made me more than a little nervous because I thought that a slight wind gust at the wrong time might flip it.
Bottom line: I do a One Stick shutdown for all routine landings. If it's an emergency, or conditions are dicey, or a dog is looking to chomp on a wing, I use CSC. It's definitely foolproof and faster.

But the GO app makes the bird rise to about 4' and hover! Using the CSC will arm the motors and you can do a ground check. (Then you have to shut down if you still want to do a GO takeoff.)
