I didn't think of that as a possibility. Thanks. I have not been able to duplicate the issue since - but it sure was prevalent on the day of. Thanks for your input.
I don't think you're wasting your time. You've got a very good point regarding airflow in flight vs idling. The only difference with today's test is that I have the aircraft on a leather ottoman vs a cold tile floor from yesterday.
Thank you sir. You interpreted my question precisely. Perhaps if I had used the term "timed out" - I may not have had all of the other traffic that questioned my reason(s) for allowing the aircraft to idle..lol. The reason this has become concerning, is due to the indoor temps being very cool...
Thank for the feedback. The point of this post isn't the "method" in which I choose to pretrip - but the fact that the drone is shutting off the props in a very cool and controlled environment - all within a very short amount of time. I'll shoot this question over to DJI.
