Re: Please Help Quad Destroid
I have to say, from high speed flight, I would not use the GPS mode to slow the bird down. This puts the motors and ESCs under massive stress, as they will attempt to increase power to the front motors massively while chopping power to the rear motors - which produces large amounts of back EMF (Voltage generated as the motor continues to rotate).
This could well be the cause of the ESC or motor failure, leading to the crash.
When flying fast in atti, I will gently release the sticks and allow the quad to speed to drift down before attempting anything to abrupt. Same goes with cornering. A progressive yaw turn makes for an easy ride on the electronics and can still be quite sharp.
Sorry for you loss and hopefully you get back into the air shortly.
