In fact that is what some of them have done right out of the box. The user didn't bind it or it failed and it they just flew straight up OOS.
the toy grade stuff is just that toy. it is not really a genuine threat to any one.
i am talking about the stuff that is BLOS capable and i do know what they will do as i operate 3 of them at the present time. i have tested their response to signal loss, and GPS loss.
the more capable toy stuff will do the fall out of the air thing if hit with no RF signal. the parlor toy units i have never had one to try, but it might do a fall as well. i do not know what unit did the full throttle thing with no bind you talked about, but i know of no flight control unit that will arm the motors in the absence of a control signal from the RX.
these RX are very similar to the ones we use for fixed wing, the work the same, and respond to signal or no signal the same.
