Had my first real and very strange crash today:
I was flying at moderate wind (about 2,5 bft) at Gran Canaria - first flight there.
I prepared the Mavic, gave time to fix satellites, set up RTH hight and checked all status.
I'm not a pro in flying, but I flew model planes many years, owned a P1 2 years and had several flights with the Mavic.
So I started the motors and went up a little to hover. But instantly when it got up it dashed westward at a hight of 2 m over the ground (a sandy dune). I was not able to stop or control it so I pulled it down letting it crash in the sand.
It had no mechanical damage, but a lot of sand I the rear motors.
When I replayed it at Go4 app I was very surprised that the right control lever was shown as being pushed 100% to the left the complete "flight" time! Needless to say, that I did NOT pushed the stick - for the aim of hovering I did not move it at all!
My setup: Mavic on .400, DJI app latest version. 30+ flights in Germany.
It was the first flight with a new installed galaxy S7 edge (android 6.0.1) and first at Gran Canaria. I was thinking of recalibrating compass, but app said it was ok, so I didn't.
My question: does anyone has an idea why the RC thought, the stick was pressed 100% to the left although it defenetly was not?
Thanks
Jerry
