Never gave this any thought. So, let me get this straight... as I am descending and holding the throttle down all the way for more than 3 seconds, the only thing stopping the motors from cutting off is the steady decrease in altitude? In other words, if there was a countering wind preventing the phantom from dropping altitude and you were holding down throttle, and these two forces were equal and miraculously exactly the same, the Phantom would think it had hit solid ground and turn off the motors?
It sounds crazy and I would think "What are the chances", but I suppose it could happen. So, can I ask, if I was also applying rudder and traveling in any other direction other than perfectly still, while still holding down throttle, would the Phantom still cut the motors? What I mean is, I never descend straight down. I am always moving in one direction or another, most of the time in a corkscrew pattern. If this upward wind was preventing a descent, but I was moving along a path, does the Phantom recognize the lateral movement and over ride the shutdown? (does that make sense?) |
