And that kills the motor? Yeah, would have never guess that one Thanks so much, I will try it next time I am out!Hold the throttle stick down and to the left.

That's what I do as well. Not sure what pulling the stick down AND to the left would do that pulling it straight down doesn't do.I just hold the stick straight down (in the middle, not to the left). Works fine. Does also holding it to the left kill the motors faster or something? I'm afraid to experiment with it, since throwing the stick to the left seems like it's inviting Solo to go dancing and flip over.
That's correct and has been in there for the original Pixhawk and the APM series before that. It's before all this' push button stuff' they are putting in now. Left stick down and to the right will arm (even in fly mode) and down and to the left will kill the motors. It is how I start and stop every time I fly. Old habits die hard but it works well for me.Well, I understand that in the Pixhawk, down and to the left is shut down, where down and to the right is arm while in manual mode. Can the more software-experienced types chime in here?
Do you know how this is different than just pulling the left stick straight down all the way? When Solo touches ground, after about 2 seconds the motors shut off. I'm not holding the stick to the left at all, just straight down.That's correct and has been in there for the original Pixhawk and the APM series before that.

I'm sure the code is in there and all things being equal, if Solo has determined it has landed then there may not be a difference. And FW improvements have made this better. But in early on there were tests when Solo had trouble knowing it had landed and wanted to continue flying or flip on uneven surfaces. The bottom left command was just a short cut to get it to behave. But it was a habit before Solo and I figure no harm in always being PIC..Do you know how this is different than just pulling the left stick straight down all the way?

If you want to use this method, it is "pull down, then push left".Sorry to beat a dead horse, but is the "down and left" 2 separate moves. As in: pull down, then push left? Or is it a diagonal, single move to the bottom left?
