Today presented a new issue that had once before and I blamed myself.

Symptom:

Early on I was using my PH3 in my house on a carpet when I landed it seem to tip over with power to the motors.  I was able to quickly turn off the battery and the only thing that got damage was myself.

Today after 2 batteries I decided to walk (fly) the drone back to the car,  no problem navigating the path,  but just as I landed in the parking lot and on the ground she spun up the motors and went side ways jammed under my car in just a way that no damage was done.

Its possible that a parked car could interfier with GPS or the campass?  But it also happened indoor on a carpeted floor.

Firmware 1.1.9 firmware
Devices:  SAMSUNG S6 Edge (5.0) and Nvidia Shield Tablet (5.1)
Condition:  Airplane mode on or off
Recording:  On or Off
Condition Landing


I will post the video of the spin out at the last minute.

Luckily it got wedged under the car and after a few seconds I was able to reach in and turn off the battery.

No I mean do you just pull the throttle stick down or use the csc to shut down your motors?

Sorry.  I just drop the left stick (throttle down) until it shuts down the motors.  I only use the two stick method to turn ON the motors.
