Hi,
I was playing tennis on an indoor court today, in a building that is much like a corrugated metal airplane hangar. I had no GPS signal, but assumed I'd still be able to control the Mini. I took off, flew up about twenty feet, then forward maybe 60, and then the controls just didn't respond right at all. I'm assuming that the lack of GPS, and the metal nature of the building (and all kinds of metal stuff inside), and also possibly wifi interference within the building (it's a building on the campus of the college where I work), led to this crazy behavior. I was very lucky that #1) none of my friends playing tennis got hit (they didn't even realize I was having a problem), and #2) the Mini "crashed" into a big bulky net (used for softball/baseball batting and pitching practice), and wasn't damaged in the least bit.
If anyone wants to take a look at my logs, and let me know if they see anything conclusive, or if simply based on my description, can come to a conclusion, I'd appreciate it.
I'm not sure if there's a better way to share the flight data, but I uploaded it to the two sites below, and here are the links to view it:
Here's a link to the brief video shot by the drone.
Thanks!
Doug
