Hi all, Nearly smashed the drone (Mavric Pro) to pieces and how it is unscathed is beyond me. Although I do need a new set of propellers. I took off with good GPS connection, my wifi to the house was off, as I have found that it interferes with the controller.
I went to circle the house to show a friend what it looks like, and was half way around the house when the drone decided to RTH, while I was under a gum tree. Needless to say it was not pretty. The only thing I can think of was that I did not climb to 7m prior to coming back down to circle the house at around 2-3 m. Is that where I went wrong? The controller connection stated poor connection ( I was only about 10 m away and 3-4 m up) or something similar, so drone began RTH. I now know I could have cancelled the RTH and just flown it myself, I was in a total panic. Can a metal house interfere with reception.? Surprisingly it managed to attack itself past the gum and with half propellers, did return to the place I took off from.
