Will the motors stop if it's in a tree?

[Fleamac]

Had a thought.

I fly in wooded areas. If I crash in a tree, would the motors shut down automatically or keep trying to turn? Thus burning them up.

I'd, obviously, hit the red motor button, but is there an auto shut down circuitry built into this fine aircraft?

Just a thought.

Motors shut off when prop strikes a solid object.

Bummer! Crashing sucks. I see your motors are black, mine are grey. Is there a difference I don't know about
