    Descending/motor shut down

    Having spent some time watching these forums, I thought it did shut down. This makes me nervous. Has anyone experienced a problem with this ? By the way, watch the descent as the props end up in their own wash causing a lack of control. There is a technical "vortex" type term for this.

    Prop Guards = Lots of Crashes?

    What your saying (quite sensibly) is that when descending the props are causing eddies that effect the air flow over the prop blades. The quad can't rectify this loss of lift. Sounds sensible, but are you at max weight limits ?
