Hello,

I need some help deciphering a flight record for my DJI FPV. The link is:


There were a few errors which came up on the goggles such as IMU error, motor overload, and propulsion error. The drone started spinning extremely fast and then plunged into a swamp. It seemed to actually be holding altitude for a while while spinning before finally coming down.

This was my 5th or 6th flight on a newly activated DJI FPV.

I appreciate anyone that can help out here.

Thanks,

SH

As you were in manual it's hard to tell straight out from the log ... but propulsion errors, rotating uncommanded rapid descents really indicate a prop failure. In your case the prop very likely partly broke initially as it nearly could brake the fall... but later much more of the prop failed & the drone went down.
