I've had an 'unexpected behaviour' today I'm hoping someone can help me out with:
I was walking down the beach flying the mavic mini. Battery got low so I came in to land just in front of me, but it wouldn't land! I was full down on the throttle but it just hovered at about 2m altitude. If I released the stick it climbed up but I couldn't get it to land. At this point my trousers were changing to a nasty brown colour so I decided to grab it and flip it upside down to stop the motors - fortunately I could just about reach it but another few inches higher and I don't know what I could have done. I was seriously worried that I wasn't in control and couldn't bring it down!
I've got back and had a look at the logs, I didn't realise it had gone into RTH probably due to the low battery. Does this stop it landing even if you're full down-stick? I'm thinking if I'd noticed it was in RTH and I'd pressed the RTH button would that have cancelled RTH and I'd have had control again enabling me to land where I was?
Many thanks in advance for any light anyone could shed on this
