Had my Tricopter-Mini Flip upon Arming due to Motor #1 instantly surging to 100% throttle. After recovering the craft and doing in-house testing I soon discovered that the loss of the Servo feedback voltage resulted in such a surge. (0 VDC) I can only surmise that my Servo's quick disconnect adaptor wasn't fully seated and is the likely cause of the Flip.
Note: I was able to reproduce the failure and have verified that the loss of feedback was the cause.
Question: Would it be possible to script an event upon the loss of the feedback voltage, where the copter either refuses to arm or switches to virtual mode?

Far as I could tell, the Servo wasn't moving at all so I think the FC was trying to compensate for the lack of counter Yaw by increasing the Tail motors speed. Motor #1 (Tail motor) being that it was spun up at 100%, took the brunt of the impact from the flip. The impact was enough to cause Motors #1 & #3, to start Desyncing badly during a later test and check flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd6hDRKj080
Note(1): Everything looked fine on the bench before the test flight.
Note(2): No serious damage other then I had to swap out all the F80's for the RS2203's.
