In the tests I did yesterday, any VALID CSC command, that is both sticks down toward the centre or down towards the outside, always resulted in a momentary speeding up of some, but not all, the motors. This would tend to suggest that the aircraft sees this as a valid command sequence BEFORE it recognises it is a CSC. This would then account for a couple of effects, the first being that the aircraft goes into a tumble at the point of CSC, and not simply drop straight down, as the motors tip it over. The second effect would be when the aircraft tips over on the ground when a CSC command is used to stop the motors rather than the simpler left stick down command.
I think that DJI should remove the CSC method of stopping the motors on the ground from the manuals, as it leads to damaged aircraft, and strongly emphasize the use of the left stick down method.
And this:
it's simple, honestly when would you even want to do this as a controlled drop to destroy your aircraft flying along boeing 747 ?
There are actually a number of control stick movements you could perform in a B747 that would screw the aircraft into the ground. And that goes for almost every type of aircraft that is not purely fly-by-wire. Fortunately, most real pilots are trained in how to recover from those situations. Many Phantom pilots however, do not have a clue, and when confronted by an apparent 'runaway', rattle the sticks around in frustration. Inevitably that can lead to a CSC, and in those cases it is always the fault of DJI.
