Well, I came into this thread late, and didn’t see the video. The digest sent me to the last post. But I had seen another thread/post describing the same thing, whereas I tried from too high. Mistook the the “ for a ‘ and tried it from 6 feet high. Dumb mistake.So... which of the two videos did you watch?
Yes, it was a couple of months ago. Didn't do short presses. Didn't see the video.So.... you didn't do short presses on the red button until you were close to the ground (under a foot or so) and then press and hold down the red button until the props stopped?
Just trying to understand what went wrong, not criticizing.
I will be scared to try this. It is a kill switch after all.
The left stick descend is fine with me.
I had to use this method this afternoon. The landing zone was tall grass and I was afraid of a prop getting caught when landing. Worked perfectly.I will be scared to try this. It is a kill switch after all.
The left stick descend is fine with me.
This is a good demo of using the kill button if you are having trouble landing especially when wind is involved. Don't try this over 3' above the ground. Only bump the button to descend. After you are about a foot high, press and hold the red button until the H lands and the motors shut off.
I have been landing by hovering down to a few inches, then using the red button.
The one landing issue I have had was trying to set down on a sloping surface.
The slope was about 10 degrees, which proved to be too much.
Since then, if the LZ is not flat, I hand catch.
I had to use this today to bring my dirt back down becuse it refused to respond to the left joystick down ..
Are you going to post pics or video? I've been filming fireworks in Gorgeous and then pulling frames off for pics. Works fairly well.
