This is correct, it did not collide with anything, it actually flipped forward on it's own when I released the aircraft. What is odd is that I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, however I was in another location than where I was when this happened. I don't want to do it again in the...

The keys to reviving water damage to electronics are: quick response to removing all power, and quick response to cleaning. Almost all forms of water will have salt/minerals in it that will conduct electricity, and all electronics need is a small amount of voltage sent on a data pin of a chip...

This is essentially what happened to me when I grabbed it, it really really was fighting to stay stationary, and I mean it really got mean. That's when I thought what would happen if it "slipped" from someone's grip when it was doing that. That's when I let it go and it shot 8-10' forward...

It was in hover. I'm mainly trying to point out the rebound seems excessive.

No problem, this was more of a reporting for people to understand. Many people do palm land their drone, but I have had some times where I need to get positive control of the craft without the delay in the drone go into landing mode. When gaining positive control of the craft, the craft will...

I've talked to DJI about it and had someone call me. They want me to do some testing and review of a few things, as the 8-10' rebound forward doesn't appear to be what it's suppose to do.

This particular time I got positive control of the aircraft before turning off the motors and that's when I noticed that it seemed to pull harder against it than expected and I experienced with other drones. That's where I started testing different things and noticed what seemed as a severe...

Some did and some didn't. I will say that I was off to the side of the aircraft and nothing was in front or behind it.

I completely understand how and why, but hand catching other drones I never noticed them pull this hard. That's why I tested the different directions. If pulling the aircraft in other directions would have resulted in the same 8-10' rebound, that would be one thing, but it only rebounds that...

Just got my MA2 the other day, and last night I hand caught it a couple of times, but I noticed something when I did it. I noticed that it pulled really hard against my hand, so I tested a few things, mainly it trying to keep the same hover location. When I pulled it down and let go it did fly...
