    Mavic Air Fly Away -- and recovery.

    Hello again SAR & Bud, I’ll contact DJI again in the morning (Sunday evening here in Australia) and try again before it comes back. Am I correct in that the 2 traces on their image should track more closely? Just ensuring I say the correct thing. Mike.

    Mavic Air Fly Away -- and recovery.

    Hi all, another thank you to both Sar and Bud for their analysis of my flight logs. My Mavic Air has been with DJI here in Australia for nearly a week and they contacted me to say there is nothing wrong with it.... I sent them the logs and more info and they subsequently responded with their...

    Thank you both Sar and Bud again for your time and help. I chatted with DJI today and have dropped it into them personally. Hopefully it gets sorted. Mike

    Hi sar, Just did the test as described above - link here: 14 July - Google Drive One thing I did see during this test. I waited for a bit, took off and when it was around 20-25m it seemed to yaw to the left (without input) maybe 10-20 degrees? I did the test a second time and it did it again...

    Ok... Here are 2 days of quick flights. I won't comment here but will await info from the pros to have a look. I did as requested and calibrated the IMU (Did compass as well) on this flight 3rd July. 3rd July - Google Drive On second flight it said "compass error" and wouldn't take off until...

    Thanks again. The Mavic is only a few months old. An IMU calibration was done early on. Only the once. It went out this weekend for first flight since this and (very slow, careful flight) was fine as has been prior. Mike.

    Thanks sar104 Here is the .dat file link. 18-06-24-02-45-19_FLY071.DAT Hopefully it sheds some light on things. Agree with what you say below and it reiterates what I said all along - matched with the video, the stick inputs didn't match what the Mavic Air did. Mike.

    sar104, Happy to upload this - not sure where to find the .dat file however? To Cheech - Not in follow mode, Pilot was outside - not in view. Also, apologies for the frustration at first - for all the doubters who kept questioning what I was saying. As mentioned, it was on the screen, the...

    I have uploaded the video to YouTube... it shows the time where it goes a little crazy. Mike.

    Mavic Air Fly Away -- and recovery.

    When it hit the 60mph it definitely wasn’t a stick command to do so. 99% of the flight was fine, just the part where it beers off on the map. From the video it is apparent that it is doing quite high speed and on more than 25degrees. Not sure if there is more information that can be extracted...
