What you might not be allowing for is that the throttle doesn’t command motor speed directly and certainly not in proportion to the applied stick defection. Movements of the throttle stick from the centre detent are interpreted by the flight controller as an intention to increase or decrease altitude. Sitting on the ground moving the stick fully up the flight controller will apply power to the motors but will quickly detect an issue when no thrust is detected (the phantom doesn’t move). Even the flight controller didn’t do this the maximum RPM of the motors is determined by the ESC.. I can’t run faster than the max drive frequency set in the parameters flashed to the ESC SOC even unloaded. The motor won’t be taken outside it’s safe max RPM or thermal limits- winding current is obviously low when not required to drive a propellor.
"will quickly detect an issue when no thrust is detected"
How is the trust detected?
Barometer and or Gps Movement?
