Definately NOT manual mode. I am using the 3.04 firmware and when I switch to ATTI, it comes down very fast with very little left stick down. If I pull the left stick all the way down it drops like in free fall. Scary[/quote]
Strange this is different from my experience. Can you recover it with throttle easy?[/quote]
I have the Phantom moving in some direction whilst descending to prevent VRS, but it still comes down very quickly and it is difficult to stop because it continues to drift in ATTI.
Only tried bringing it straight down from a hover twice and both times it continued to fall maybe 30-40ft after releasing the left stick. Had to throttle up to slow the descent so it didn't hit the ground. Now I just flick the switch back to GPS and it stops falling within about 20ft or so.
Having said that, I rarely fly higher than 250ft so the descent restriction doesn't bother me. Only takes like a minute to bring it down from 250ft
