    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    That's a good idea. Thanks again for the suggestions!

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Thank you for your response. I was following the drone as I was navigating it around the trees, so I was some 10 feet from it when the incidents occurred maintaining VLOS the entire time. I've tried to use the default stick mode when I purchased the drone, but after some 10 flights I gave up...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    I never really paid attention to the Home Point update before but I'm starting to understand the importance. I don't think this situation had anything to do with HP, because the satellite signal was strong and I was 10 feet from the drone as I followed it while navigating around the trees. Even...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Not necessarily, I'm sure the data provided from flight log are correct because that's exactly what happened - the drone was hovering, then received a signal to go full forward and it did, but can you claim with 100% certainty this input came from the controller I was holding? That there is no...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Allen, thank you for introducing me to this forum. I have learned how to pull the flight log and it certainly provides some interesting data! I understand the skepticism on this forum regarding my flight skills especially since the data seems to be against me, but I am adamant about my...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Yes, just as I usually do. I've never had any issues. It's usually cleanest place around for take-off.

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    I took off from the roof of my car some 100 feet away as the road was on a slope and this was the most level option. I didn't notice home point being updated during flight.

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Thank you. As I said in the previous post, I was under the impression that switching to sport mode does the same thing as turning the OA off. I now understand that in not only turns it off, but makes the controls more responsive. I'll keep that in mind for the future flights. Thank you for the...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    I was under the impression the sports mode turns off obstacle avoidance. I don't know how else to turn it off directly from the controller. Yeah I'm sorry, I was trying for a couple of months to get used to the standard format, but it just wasn't working. I think it's because of all the games...

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    Thank you for the instructions, it took a bit of searching but I found it. I've never done this before. Here's the link to my flight log https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/39J38N9D75UH7DT4S2IV/ The first incident occurred at 4:03.5 The second incident occurred at 4:30.0

    Air 2S darting forward and crashing into a roof twice!

    I had my first emergency crash landing with my Air 2S today. I was taking pictures of a log cabin in a forest with trees all over, so I had to disable the obstacle avoidance to get closer to the trees. As I was inching forward between a branch and the roof, the drone just took off forward and I...
