NAZA v.2 new feature really works

[photobobga]

I had read that one of the new features of the new NAZA software upgrade is that if a motor fails on a hex setup it would still land.... During a checkout flight today one of the prop nuts became loose.... and it landed! What an amazing sight, five props turning and one prop doing nothing... thank you Fail Safe and DJI!

Did you use IOC when trying to land or just land as you normally would?
Just wondering if it was spinning around in circles or not.

The notes tend to suggest that it will continue to rotate whilst allowing you to descend in a controlled manner, but yes I would like to know too. Good to hear it landed safely after loosing a prop.

No rotation. It started out doing a little wobble or two so I switched it into Failsafe Mode and waited for the return home flight. While it was descending i noticed that one of the props was not turning. Once landed I checked for the problem and found that the prop nut had worked loose. I ordered a set of the counter-rotating prop hubs that T-Motors offers once I returned home.
