Please let me preface this by saying although I've had my Mavic Air since they first came out, and been at this forum for much of that time, I have less than 20 flights in (life gets in the way), so I very much consider myself still a newbie with those early flying jitters and fears. That being said, here is what occurred: I was flying today and in the middle of the flight I got a motor error message. Have absolutely no idea why. Below are some particulars that might be relevant:
Any thoughts or suggestions for what might have occurred and a way to tell a newbie how to insure it doesn't happen again would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
- There was a breeze, but nothing really strong
- I started out on the grass and then flew it over a 300-foot drop off
- I didn't up date at the last firmware update, but did update the one a few weeks before.
- It seemed to start out just fine, but I got the message about half-way through the flight
- Although the area was not that close to buildings or mountains, I could only find one small place to adequately calibrate the drone and then moved about 100 yards away to fly it; I had good satellite signal at the point of takeoff.
- I recently replaced the factory props with those Master Airscrew Stealth props for a longer and quieter flight.
- I was using the latest iPad mini as the flight monitor.
- I am including a link to the video I shot with it in case that might help you. Normally, I would have edited it before posting it but I wanted it there in its entirety in case that might help someone determine what caused the error message.
Any thoughts or suggestions for what might have occurred and a way to tell a newbie how to insure it doesn't happen again would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
