    DJI GO 4.07 An improvement or not?

    I have frequent crashes & lockups of 4.0.7 on my Nexus 6p, Android 7.12. More likely if I use different controller modes. Sometimes I restart the app, just now the phone was frozen and required reboot. Luckily there's RTH. Most if the time I do a fresh restart before flying and close any...

    GO4 4.0.6 Android

    Latest firmware and 4.0.6 Go 4. As noted by svavar the fixed wing flight mode would not stick for me. Worse... the app froze when I was 7500 feet out. Froze my whole phone, could not close & restart app, had to reboot my Nexus 6p. While it was doing this I hit RTH on the remote. Landed with...

    Drone Flying Handout

    Not a bad idea. I am currently camping at a large RV park around Phoenix, AZ. I took off a flew a mile away to look at nearby mountains. Upon landing one of the maintenance workers in a golf cart approached and informed me that flying drones in the park was not allowed. Now, the park had an...

    Apps for android

    For flying? The DJI app is standard and free. For $25 Litchi is good.

    Anemometer (?)

    This one looks good I would mount the wireless sensor high as possible. We are more interested in winds aloft than surface winds speed.

    Unexplained Control Loss

    Flight data does not indicate any problems with the motors. All props were attached (3 broken) when recovered.

    Unexplained Control Loss

    Here is the Healthy Drones link Not too useful as the flight was so short - insufficient control data to analyze. Looking at the compass turn rates - sustained 100-150 degrees per .1 s seems kinda high.

    Unexplained Control Loss

    I appreciatge any insights as I don't know how to analyze the log. I don't *THINK* it was pilot error because I was not really doing anything but starting to go forward shortly after takeoff, and I don't think I could have induced all of the pitching & rolling if I tried. It was a fairly...

    Unexplained Control Loss

    One minute after takeoff, hovering at around 150 feet deciding which way to go. Put into sport mode. As soon as I pushed the stick forward began pitching and spinning - possibly inverted. Crashed in the driveway 100 feet from where I took off. 3 props and gimble busted. Front leg dinged...

    Any High Wind Casualties?

    I've been bit and didn't make it home. Almost had a heart attack, landed in a strangers front yard 2 blocks away. Will try hard not to do that again.
