I had a problem twice now where the motors wont stop when the kill button was pushed.
I think I know why but want to see if anyone else is having a similar situation. First off, this has never happened during normal operation. I am having the dreaded toilet bowl problem that seems to be all to common. I have a new GPS module on the way that hopefully solves that problem. I fly 99% of the time in team mode. I pilot the H and my business partner is on a 2nd ST16 doing the filming. On our last flight the H started to toilet bowl (circling around in about a 6 foot circle} so I informed my partner that I was coming down and he should be ready to hand catch it. I lowered the H to appx 7' and it was still moving somewhat on its own. My partner reached up and grabbed the landing gear like we have done many times and I pushed the button to kill the motors and nothing happened. We both remained calm and I walked over to him and removed the battery carefully to shut it down.
I think whats happening is due to the toilet bowling when he grabs the H the craft is still moving so the computer sees this and is trying to correct the movement therefore not letting the motors to be killed. We hand catch the H every time and the only time we have had a problem is when the flight was cut short due to the toilet bowl.
Anyone else ever had this problem or have any other ideas as to why I cant kill the motors?
