Hi
Quick question if I hold down the left stick for 3 secs it turns the drone off, My question is if I'm in the air and holding down the left stick to descend will the drone turn off, if descending full stick for 3 seconds ? It may be a silly question to some but when bringing my drone done I'm always weary of doing it to fast.
thanks John

The drone will only turn off with the joystick fully pressed down when it knows it has landed. The computer senses that the drone has touched ground and then the 3 seconds to shutdown will begin once it has landed. You are fine to full throttle down when you are flying normally or bring the drone down from a higher altitude.

Thanks for the reply Hurleybird, thought that might be the case but didn't want to experiment when up in the air.
once again thanks

You're welcome and happy flying and welcome to the forum.

Hi John, as HurleyBird Productions explained, the drone will not switch off when throttling down for 3 seconds during the flight, it will only descend. The drone can also be stopped mid-flight in an emergency situation, may we verify the model of your drone?
