Yep--the "stickiness" is actually a lock position they've apparently installed, but completely failed to mention in any of the instructions that come with it. I have a Phantom 2 V.2.0 (not to be confused with vision or vision+) and neither the instructions (which are for a Phantom 2 V.1.0), nor the updated control pamphlet NOR the paper band around the remote (which is the ONLY piece of instruction that even mentions how to stop the rotors once landed--it's not a dual-stick method anymore, it's ONLY the throttle) will tell you that click--or as you call it "sticky" position is (most likely) a safety feature that ensures it stays in that position so as not to suddenly throttle up or go bonkers if you let go of the stick suddenly and it "bounces" back up.
I figured this out by only starting the rotors with the dual-stick method, then trying only the throttle without clicking to power down--that didn't work, so I tried the "click" position next, and three to five seconds later they spin down and stop. I tested this about fifteen times each way (but not with the dual-stick method to power down--that just sent my unit tipping and skimming across the ground the first two times I tried to land and power down--yay, concrete!) and as far as my remote unit--an NDJ6 remote--is concerned, this is the proper, correct and undocumented (as far as DJI's instructions are printed) way to spin down.
Just make sure you're not putting it into the click mode while still high in the air--I won't tell you it'll turn off your props, but I also don't want to be the first to try it to find out. |
