I have to agree with JB. Most drones even with a really hot pid tune will bounce a little if you hit the ground, but not flyaway, and the pid controller quickly collapses the error after the tap and it's okay. In most cases you can bounce away on the ground and it's pretty difficult (if not impossible) to induce a flyaway. In fact, people have been doing all sorts of fpv "ground tricks" for years (even with air mode on), sliding under cars on concrete/pavement, etc and still not get a flyaway. This issue is something different. I've seen it on a cinelifter and, sorry Blunty, you don't wanna disarm a 5kg drone from any hieight off the ground. I was skeptical at first as well, but after tuning a lot of rigs, the few times I've seen this, it really stands out as unusual
Joshua and Blunty, great discussion. Problem determination and isolation! Things we learned to debug computers. And, thanks for the recommendations to get outside and be safe. Dave Messina
🤣 blunty had me spit out my coffee.... "indoors already in a bad world" testing a quad with the props on inside is a disaster waiting to happen man....and putting a hole in the ceiling is the best scenario losing a finger is the worst
I was just going to say exactly what blunty said. I always keep airmode on a switch, and I turn it off in certain circumstances like when I land, and I disarm 1" from the ground.
Yeah I would turn off air mode, put it on a switch, lower the master mutiplier and I term especially if it's been raised. Also check the filters, put in all the notch filters. I've had fly aways like this especially with frames I built that didn't have the best construction and had lot of vibration in them. Yeah check all the screws in the frame are solid.
We all buy transmitters with a ton of switches and then use arming and maybe a few modes, that’s it. He should add air mode on a switch and test with that off too. Definitely should not bounce with air mode off. I had a diatone Taycan that flipped out on landing with air mode off and the other symptom that something was wrong is that the flight controller became unresponsive if the drone was upside down. Turtle mode could not be used to flip upright again for example.
I agree it's air mode. And I still have some dents on my ceiling for arming a quad inside.
Just don't do that.

Blunty says that if there was a gyro problem that BapBoy would notice it in flight, but if Bap is a newbie would they?
hello GENTS .
Joshua do you have any videos for 2024 goggle recipe rations for the most common scenarios like 5” freestyle?
Toink toink toink wieieie tintinting 😅😂
Is it in acro mode or angle mode?
