I'm pretty new to flying drones (about 15 flights)- but recently I was flying it and I noticed a message on the screen: "Motors Starting"

Well, at this point, the drone was about 1500 feet away over the ocean. Insert panicked sounds here.

As far as I can tell, the drone did not plummet or lose control at all, so, the "Motors Starting" message has me puzzled.

I am fairly certain I was not executing a CSC, but had I been, I would have had to stop the motors and then somehow restart them before it fell out of the sky.

This makes me wary to send it out over water again anytime soon, and as I am vacationing in Hawaii right now, that's a bummer- it's why I bought it.

Does anyone have any insights? Thank you!

Wow I've never heard of that one. Hopefully someone has and answers quick. But if I where in your shoes I would keep it kind of close and still use it. Keep an eye on the settings

Hi, sorry, was too busy panicking to ponder a screenshot, and I don't know how to do that with the FPV headset on. I will keep an eye out for it in the future.

Funny thing is I don't think that last messenger knows what hes talking about.
I can pull the data and get an overlay to show the message but as far as I know there's no way to get a screenshot if you're out there flying and it just happens to happen.
But the data is in the flight record if you know how to do an overlay.
