I have read some threads in the past of people who have crashed their drones and their flight info showing they performed a CSC command. The question came up as to whether the drone could be restarted in mid-air. Obviously, no one in their right mind is going to experiment with their bird.
Today I was playing with the flight simulator and it can be restarted but their are a few caveats that probably make it unlikely you will be able to rescue it.
On the simulator, I tried several times from 400 feet. I hit the CSC command and it started falling pretty quick. I then hit the CSC command again but did not think to raise the bird.
After several attempts of hitting the CSC, restarting and hitting the accelerator I was able to avoid crashing.
So here is what I've learned:
1. Don't hit the CSC command ever unless your bird is on the ground.
2. Restarting would be nearly useless unless you have practiced this over and over and you are way above 400 feet.
3. You would probably lose between two and four hundred feet of altitude before you even realized what you had done.
4. You would definitely lose several hundred more feet after hitting another CSC command before you would think to push the throttle all the way up.
5. You need another 50 or so feet for the drone to reverse its direction.
6. Practice this maneuver on the flight simulator until it becomes second nature.
7. Your odds of recovery are very small as you will never admit to yourself that you hit the CSC command in the first place.
8. It was fun figuring this out but I hope it never happens to any of us.
