    So, I was flying my bird one day . . .

    So the loss of coms would have been the reboot. Hmm, now some of them messages are a bit clearer if this is the case.

    So, I was flying my bird one day . . .

    Yes, it went to the backup, this is clear, but some of the messages are odd in the context. That message talking about upward obstacle, I can not help but think this was the trigger. But heck, I am no expert, will be interesting to see what the experts here see. Looking at this data without...

    So, I was flying my bird one day . . .

    I suspect possible strong interference, causing the IMU to trigger, or your primary IMU was failing. I suspect it was the interference, seeing that you also lost coms. Now, what was the upward Obstacle it detected, and did it have anything to do with this. Also, what is with the Take of and...

    Constant disconnection and signal drop

    Well that explains the issue. That looks like a fairly clean cut.

    So Illegal

    Many of these "Private Flights are not just Transportation" If it was it would have been lumped under commercial. The point I was making is even with heavy restrictions, and training, we still live with danger. I personally accept the risks, when I see one of these "private operators" flying...

    So Illegal

    Well, I for one was going to stay out of this as you seem overly argumentative about this issue. I do not think anyone is minimizing an accident, but to think that we already do not have hobbies that put others lives at risk, is well, putting blinders on. Ok based on this, no more private...

    So Illegal

    I trust you are not discounting the many years of safe flying I have had with no incidents, as I am vested in this hobby as well. There are many hobbies that are dangerous, to oneself as well as others and can and have caused as much harm as a drone incident, lets not pretend they do not exist...

    Insects and drones

    OK but this sounds like many bees died. Bet wife was not impressed.

    So Illegal

    I am more pragmatic about this. I can think of many hobbies "fun past times" that are as dangerous or more then this. Regulations are put into place, and for the most part are followed, there will always be the few. So we fence anything that can be considered dangerous? Where do we draw the...

    So Illegal

    Tough point to debate. I see how things like this can cause regulations that many would consider harmful to the hobby. Example Canada, from what I understand "Correct me if I am wrong" they have very strict rules to the point of not being worth participating in the hobby. As these devices...

    Insects and drones

    My P4 is lovingly known as the Bug wacker, for years I have been clean bug splatter off of it. I have never experienced any harm, but then again I always cleaned it after flight. Was always concerned with bug splatter buildup on the props. M2P, have not noticed it killing bugs oddly enough.

    M2Pro or Phantom 4 v2?

    I do have a phantom, and older phantom 4. I recently added the M2P. As I am just now starting to learn about air photog, I can not comment on quality. But I can comment on 2 other factors. Compared to my P4 I find the M2P a very stable bird in the air, with little to no wobble. I also see...

    A crazy lady smashed my drone

    Do not let the few sour your experience here. I have noticed some tend to be well "snarky" were others are most helpful. Please understand that I am sure a site like this does attract well, "others" who cause trouble. For many people here, posting logs or it did not happen is an real thing.
