unwanted RTH activation

Testing a new build on the bench (ver 7.1 EXPR r449 b1852). No props on, AQ armed, throttle at 0, and connected to QGC, I turned off my radio and the motors spun up. I saw in QGC that RTH was activated, but I don't recall my other AQs doing that before. Shouldn't failsafe only be activated when the motors are running (ie, in the air)?

No. The flight controller only knows that it has no RC info and it will go into to failsafe mode.

Thanks for the clarification. I swear my early Autoquads didn't do that.
