    Yep, your ThrOut go very far down - this reminds me of aomething I reported while doing badass testing, I even predicted a crash :)

    Unless your motors have a pretty high idle speed set, one or more probaply stalled when APM commanded the low throttle:

      Thanks Andre,

      any way to prevent this ? i'm flying 15 x 5,5 props@5S very  efficient setup :-)

      maybe higher ThrMin ?

      thanks

        yes, higher minimum throttle/idle throttle will fix it - do plenty testing on ground .
