Good day all,
I am new to the forum and new to droning having recently purchased an Air 2s.
Today we have some decent wind around that is at the top end of the drones capabilities so in order to get some practice in learning my drone, I maybe stupidly decided to fly it in an open cropping area.
Anyway it flew happily enough within 300m of me and I took it to a maximum height of 88m, after taking a couple of short videos I decided to bring the drone with the power level at 50 percent.
The return journey was a crosswind and the wind had picked up a bit and I had received a strong wind warning, however the drone had no problem getting back overhead me..
At this stage I started to try to bring the drone down, however it would not descend, I tried turning into the wind and facing away but neither made any difference, the drone just would not descend.
Finally I managed to get it to descend my repeatedly pulling the stick down and releasing it on each time it dropped a meter or 2 till eventually I had it about 7m above the ground and it responded normally.
I realise that the wind was the reason however I am trying to understand what exactly was happening to prevent the descent which I never expected to have to deal with? Any thoughts?
I have done some searching but haven't come across any reference to this issue..
