    Low voltage then crash

    I did find the drone in the bushes of the marsh clearing. Fortunately only one propeller was damaged... I feel very fortunate as it came through trees that are perhaps 80 feet high. The battery charged properly but I'm really hesitant to use it again after the voltage drop.

    Low voltage then crash

    Yeah, crazy stuff. The last images I saw were what looked like ground level in bushes. I'm surprised the log stops where it does as I did manage to make contact with the drone right at the end. Interestingly, I have had many episodes in the past few weeks of losing contact with the drone and...

    Low voltage then crash

    While flying last week my Air2s had a large battery voltage drop and then went for a forced landing fortunately on land. I haven't managed to locate the drone yet but willl try again today. I'm assuming the battery went bad during this flight? Thanks for your input

    Lost Air2s

    I'm back home. I'll fill you in on the scenario and the mistakes made later. Total pilot error!!!! If anyone can learn from my experiences that would be fantastic. Thanks everyone, without your assistance the drone would have been LIA.

    Lost Air2s

    Thanks all. Located the drone. It's surprisingly intact but will need repair! Yes, I will get in touch about the rescue jackets.

    Lost Air2s

    It was a "sensor failure" that came up and that was the end. I've uploaded the txt file again. May or may not work. Certainly the next time I'm flying from a boat I'll have someone else around. Piloting a boat and drone at the same time is intense!

    I tried PhantomHelp as well with no luck but I'm on my boat with iffy internet. The failure message I find interesting, I wish I had grabbed a screenshot. I'll grab the txt file again.

    Lost Air2s

    I was flying my drone from my boat a few days ago and initially everything went well. I then got an "upper sensor failure" message and lost track of the drone. Having searched the last coordinates nothing has turned up. I expect it may have gone home... into the ocean as I was moving. It's...

    Air 2s Happy New Year from Vancouver Island

    Happy New Year! I haven't been flying nearly as much as I had hoped this year but this is today's sunrise on Vancouver Island, Canada. We rarely get snow so I have been flying lots the past few days.

    Will the wet suits seal OK on a drone with a skin applied? Thanks
