Just got my second P2 with 3D gimbal with first fpv system and my last flight almost ended up in nearby trees. I had flown up to approx. 200m to video at night and at 38% battery started to descend, and as expected with new updates it was very slow coming down. I refrain from holding down the throttle more that 2-3 seconds since the manual is not clear to me if in GPS or ATTi holding the throttle down all the way will not shut down motors as long as it is in flight. So still a ways up it got to the first battery warning (which was at the time set for Go Home), but it started flying off over trees next to my driveway and began descending (probably 30-40' from take off point). Just before hitting the tree tops I gave full throttle and struggled to get it away from the trees. Only until I switched to ATTi could I get some control and get back over head to land, but it still acted like it wanted to go somewhere else and almost broke my neck to catch it. I have switched off the "Go Home" under battery options and plan on higher battery levels to start heading back home.
My reason for this post is to get response on the throttle issue. What is the fastest way to descend, can the throttle stick be held all the way down until a safe altitude (GPS or ATTi), or will this shut off motors. The manual at one point seems to indicate this will not shut motors off, but later states under no circumstance hold the throttle down while in flight in any mode. I notice if I catch it which is approx. 7 feet higher than it took off and hold throttle down it shuts motors off after about 3 seconds. Hence why I don't hold throttle down more than a couple of seconds, but sure needed to come down faster that night. The home point being off so much didn't bother me as much as the close call with the trees, at least I would have know where it was at
