New rescue system for Multirotors

[Lanzar]

Yeah, but for Dji I think you would have to decide if you wanted the fail safe to return home or mix the throttle cut/chute activation, due to the motors not stopping immediately.

For me, if I lost signal or orientation far enough out, I'd want to activate the return home. I think it would be a heck of a surprise to have your chute shoot out that far away. Ideally I'd want my normal return home fail safe, then a two way switch that would mix throttle cut and chute drop. Wonder if it could be done...

Read the manual and you will see you have 2 options on how the motors will react on 0 throttle. One is they will stop instant and one is they keep spining for few seconds.

Very interesting. I was thinking about making something like this before I saw this thread, based on my experience with model rocketry. Glad to know someone else is working on it as well. I was thinking about making something spring loaded or compressed gas to deploy the chute faster. It would be great if there was ESC or motor failure detection built into the on board flight controller. Maybe somebody with an open source controller could take a crack at it? Would it be better to have it land right side up, on its landing gear? Use some kevlar cord and then you don't have to worry about the props hitting it.
