Hello Group.
I am new here and have had the Phantom 2 Vision for just a week and flying with it well.
Apologies if this info is somewhere else, yet I did not find it during a search.
I noticed today (during a ground test), that if I pull back and hold ONLY the left controller (transmitter) joystick for about 3 seconds or longer, the props will suddenly stop. Fortunately I have never done this during flight or else the P2V would probably have plummeted from the sky like a brick.
I am baffled as to why the firmware would allow a simple operation like that to turn off the motors completely? I think this should never occur and won't if it is due to some sort of mis-calibration or perhaps a firmware issue. Frankly speaking, I think the motors should NEVER be able to be stopped unless a VERY LONG (5 seconds or more) holding of both joysticks are done at the lower corners.
Anyone else experience this, or am I overlooking something simple? :?:
Thanks,
"Zapper"
