motors wont shut down

[offshore]

dflew perfect the time before, i never let it auto land, always landed it myself and when it landed just held the throttle down like the manual says and the motors would stop, now i land it and it wants to take off again, i have to press the a-b and pause or it just flips over, never did this before, i ve tried resetting, calibrating everything, just shy off using it as an anchor( frustrating)
anyone found a solution for this?

just noticed that on the sidepilot app it says its 3 ft high but its on the ground

not the problem, reset everything so it said height 0 and when i pressed fly button to start motors it started then they sped up and it flipped over

There is a thread discussing landing, may be helpful to read what others experienced, may give you some answers.

Recognizing, avoiding, and responding to botched landings

thanks rich, i’ll try that tomorrow and put the results

This sounds like something more than mishandling a landing. To make sure I understand this correctly... You held the fly button to arm. It armed. And without you pushing the button again or moving a stick, it throttled up on its own and flipped over?

hello p2p, i hold the fly button and it arms the motors, if i don’t take off eventually they shut off(i know this is normal) when i take off whether pushing fly or using throttle it take off like it should, no problems, when i go to land, i’ve always landed manually with the throttle cause i haven’t let the batt get low enough to auto land, is when i land it, i always landed and held the throttle down and it would disarm, now when i land and hold the throttle down it doesn’t disarm and it i let go of the throttle it takes off hauling buttt to the side or just flips over, i did notice that when i land it says on the height 3.3 ft , i will try it today again and pist the results, fwiw im ising side pilot but also done it with the 3 dr app and running the reg software and it is connected to 10 satellites

thank u for replying

tried it today and there were times that they shut down like they’re supposed too and other time i had to press a-b pause
guess i’ll just get used to pressing those from now on

It sounds like the bird doesn't know it is landed. Solo is supposed to have landing detection [via arducopter] but it is dependent on a number of sensors including the IMU. Do you have any tlog files from the flights in question?

Also, try doing a level calibration. It might add some useful data, especially if you can't successfully complete it.....

hi bruce, yea i’ll try doing a calibration tomorrow
