Emergency cut off doesn't work

[Neon Euc]

Since updating to the latest DJI firmware the emergency cut off doesn't work (pushing both stick down and inwards/outwards) however I can start the bird using them controls. Have anyone else noticed this? Using a P3A

Per the release notes, you'll need to hold the sticks in the CSC configuration for 3 seconds in order to stop the motors mid-flight.

Thanks will try that again. [emoji4][emoji4]

My P2V is 3 secs too.

Is that just the P3A or what? Because I once thought it was a 3 sec deal for all Phantoms in some thread many months ago and I posted same, but a reputable member corrected me and told me I was wrong and it was instantaneous.

In the 11/29/2016 firmware update, it was changed to 3 seconds for both the P3A and P3P.

How do you test this mid-flight?

You can safely test it in the DJI flight simulator in DJI GO.

Are you bold enough to try csc during the flight?

No way lol. I tried it before to kill the motors as I landed. Will try that again

Here's a link to a demonstration of the CAC in action. It also demonstrates the left stick down for 3 seconds will not shut down the motors mid flight.

 

[DigitalKnight]

Can you still hand catch and stop the motors by continuing to hold the stick down?

I haven't had a chance to fly since October, and haven't been keeping up with the firmware changes. I'm hoping it might be warm enough to try between Christmas and New Years Day.

Yes you can. Had a few flights since the update and this worked as usual for me

You're probably going to find that a CSC when the bird is on the ground invariably tips it over. Proper procedure on the ground is left stick down.

Try "flying" without props and hand-holding the Phantom.

I really just want to test the function if anything to make sure it's all working [emoji4]
