And if you are prepaired to loose, it's part of the fun / game. I do understand, As I said, just pushing the limits because it is in my nature. I also did imply I wasn't going to do this everytime, this is about knowing the limit so you can push to it, when required, and if required.
Great, with that attitude then perhaps you would, in a safe place well away for people and the property of others, care to see if you can do a mid air motor stop and restart with a Mini 3? It should be an exciting test.
If so please screen record it and record video on the drone's memory card.
If you are so inclined, be sure to release the sticks between the CSC that stops the motors and the CSC that tries to restart the motors. If you do not do that I suspect the drone will consider the continuous CSC as just the motor stopping CSC continued and it will crash.
Be warned, if the drone tumbles it may not restart the motors, there may be a limited range of tilts within which the drone WILL restart its motors.
With that in mind I would suggest sending the drone up to around 350 to 400ft and switching it to cine / tripod mode ( cine mode will produce the slowest horizontal speeds and yaw rate and the slowest initial descent and thereby possibly reduce the chance of the drone tumbling).
As soon as the motors stop release the sticks then wait a second and start the second CSC. Don't leave it much longer than that, you may need as much height as possible to a) restart the motors and b) halt the fall. I suspect the freefall speed will be in the mid teens m/s. (40 - 60 fps)
It is possible the drone will fall in a spin and IF the motors restart you should immediately see the drone stabilise. (That's what I saw with a Phantom 3, over the sea.) However it may restart the motors at idle. IF the motors do restart and restart at idle give the drone throttle halt the fall, I gave the P3 full throttle.
Someone recently tried it with either a Mavic Mini or a Mini 2 and the motors did restart (they may have been lucky) but the drone was too low to halt the fall. I think they started the test quite low.
