Yep plenty of people have been caught or even purposely flown in the rain and no noticeable issues were caused. The motors are brushless so they don't mind. Having said that I wouldn't purposely do it. You shouldn't need to move in any direction when lowering the phantom at full speed as its set...

I always felt like the prop protectors would increase the motor housing resistance to cracking but I didn't really like them for a few minor reasons and removed them. I had minor cracking after 5 months of purchase on my p3a but didn't send it in till about a month out from the end of the 1 year...

Just always stay vigilant when doing this and reach up slowly to the landing gear and make sure you don't reach to high.

From my understanding it controls how quickly the p3 responds to commands. Obviously if your light/gradual on the sticks it should have same affect but I just wanted to rule out sudden changes in the p3's movements (yaw etc) as it's not something I need anyway.

Lol all good, nice curved ball :)

How do you arm the motors before take off? (Make the motors start)

I couldn't agree more. Are you from Aust?

Yeh battery cell error is not an error to take lightly. Like stumbleBee is alluding too it's never a bad idea to check battery health before take off. I try to check when hovering too, especially if the flying conditions are less than optimal.

I've seen a few folks on fb try left stick down on an upturned p3 and when that failed they picked the bird up with motors still spinning.. Good way to get injured when CSC is safer and faster.

Good to see someone reading the manual

It's not something you want to practice when flying but it's the same stick position you use to arm the motors before take off

Only reliable way to shut off in that situation is CSC

What shut off did you try?

I dialed the attitude back to, not sure if you did, but I don't require it to respond so abruptly.

I hope your not messing with the maths and physics wiz.
