really? has someone tested this on a hexa? that's a pretty strong claim to make considering it will depend greatly on your setup whereas an octo will almost certainally fly one motor down even over loaded...
care to expand on what they could possibly have done different in the firmware to change the laws of physics steve |

yes it will yaw and if you counter the yaw you will slow down the props that are left giving you lift and down she will come...
so yeah if you use IOC or home lock I guess... then it will come down in a reasonable fashion but only if you are lightly loaded... I lost one prop on my MK and it came down spinning... I did not touch the yaw and it was OK but nothing "controlable" and certainally dangerous... plus it was very lightly loaded. I'd rather have it flip and come straight down becuase there should be nobody below your copter at anytime anyway.... Steve |

I just got off the phone with a customer who had a motor fail. It just stopped in flight and he was able to fly his S800/Z15 down and land it no problem. Yes, it will yaw a little but I will take that ANY DAY over a flip. |

So, how many people feel good in 5.14 ? 2? 3? 5? We will be more confient in 5.14 if DJI officially recognize they found an issue in 5.14a, corrected in 5.14. But DJI is in silent mode... |

This I belive is only possibl on a beast like the S800 where you are using 6S and have gobs of power with 15" props.
Thanks for the info and I am going to take a prop off my hexa, load it up and test it on version 12 Whats with the S800 losing motors in flight recently? Steve Quote:

Taking off without a prop is much different than losing one in flight I think. S800's don't really loose motors. They did have some issues when one motor was going to full throttle from what I have seen in a few of the posted videos. Not sure the cause on that. Firmware, Rf interference, etc. Going full throttle is crazy and I don't understand the cause. I personally have never had one do this yet. Yes, our test flights are only 1-2 for customer RTF's but I can only fly them for so long. Our personal S800/Z15 are bullet proof and the 5.14 firmware is very noticeable on how smooth it is. Honestly, I rarely could tell flight characteristics between firmwares but this one I can for sure. Note: I have not flown 5.14 on F550 yet but will try later today if I have time. |

Updated to 5.14 on the little F550 Av130 equipped Test Mule and did a quick test flight between rain.
Flew smooth and great. Also had the new Graupner style 10" GemFans on. I like them a lot. They are a little loose on the stock DJI motors (8mm) and I had to add a dap of glue. Not big fan of that. But they do have adapters for 6mm etc. motors. Next batch I will get made with notch for the stock DJI motors. |
