Interesting read! I too have learned a lot about RTH. This was my post of a few days ago, and with this post I realize i grabbed my Phantom at the same time it started it's RTH:
practicing flying a couple days ago, around 28 deg f., over snow, I was doing practice manouvers low level, around 4-5 feet above ground. All going good and low battery warning came on at 30% as set. I continued to fly till around 12% and hovered at 4-5 feet in front of myself and the controller. I knew I was getting really low batteries and decided I would grab it and shut down the motors.. What a surprise, max power! Sort of scared me and I didn't know what to do. Hung on for what seemed like 5 min, probably 30 seconds and all the while kept trying to shut the engines down. They finally went from full power to stop. I know they were at max power because there was a notation on my iPad. I did not keep looking at my iPad, I was just making sure the high powered flying lawn mower stayed still in my hand. I've caught other smaller UAV's. I'm sure this one, my DJI P3 PRO, it is a no no. My question, why max power at the moment I held on the the landing gear? Thank you ahead for your input.
Regards
