    Mavic Crash

    If I were flying my Inspire 1 I would have immediately switched to Atti mode. I was helpless and had no choice.

    Mavic Crash

    I wish I could have used the 3R's. I did React by trying to control it. The Response was that it did not want to take inputs from the sticks. Couldn't regain because I couldn't provide stick input, so I put it back to RTH. I did fly it the day before to test it. In fact that particular...

    Mavic Crash

    Here is the log file I extracted from my phone. I used the Healthy Drones app that automatically syncs with my iOS device and no longer have to manually upload flight logs which is nice. Here's a link. I have to say that despite it being a text file on my mac, I can't read it. Dropbox -...

    Sorry for the late reply on things. No it was not 32 degrees out. I did see that on the main log display but ignored it since I knew it wasn't 32F out. I did click on the 32F link and it does show 89.6F. I'm still waiting to hear back from DJI. Initially they contacted me and asked me for...

    I've spoken to a DJI representative at one point about calibrating my Inspire 1. They said with the newer versions of software, you don't need to calibrate unless it prompts you to do it. I did calibrate the compass before that flight.

    Mavic Crash

    29 seconds: Return to home. I notice it's drifting 1 min 3 seconds: Landing is initiated 1 min 12 seconds: I notice it's arcing out on a landing operation so I stop it. 1 min 45 seconds: It's over an area where it can land so I initiate another landing operation. However it spins even faster...

    Mavic Crash

    I just found this link. I'm the pilot of the drone that crashed. First I'd like to say that my original video showed me testing the craft after I repaired the craft. UAS safety is extremely important and I was not thinking in the right mind last night. What I did was not right. I'll be...
