I was going to fly a Litchi Waypoint Mission the other day--P4P v2 with CrystalSky. The plan was launch manually to the approximate height of the first Waypoint, then hit the Play button. I've done that before. I started the motors and was giving forward sticks when it rose slightly and props suddenly shut down. The drone tipped over onto its back. No damage as props were stopped.
Looking at the log, in Notifications it shows: Mode changed to Assisted Takeoff. I definitely did not initiate AT. I went back to a couple past Waypoint Missions that I knew for certain I launched manually. No message of AT.
Has anybody else experienced anything like this? In any event, I'll most likely use AT from now on. The tip over was due to the bird using a stool for launch since the area was very dusty. Had it been on the ground it probably wouldn't have tipped as motors stopped 2 seconds after startup.
