Mini SE crash

[goldeneye243]

Quite new to drone ownership and already had a pretty catastrophic crash!

Wanted to take an aerial photo of my brothers garden. Put the drone up and took a picture. Had a signal warning so tried to adjust the aerials and it then plummeted to the floor. RTH didn't kick in and there was nothing anywhere near it.

As it was only hovering above the garden I managed to recover it. Unfortunately it hit a wooden climbing frame on the way down




It is only a week or so old.

Nothing abnormal is shown in the log besides that it just ends with the drone still airborne at 161,7ft.

That the log ends abruptly either means that the motors stop as the .txt log just record when they are on ... or that the connection to the RC+screen device was lost & never was regained... this means that everything after that disconnect is unknown (log wise). But here we have your testimony that it "plummeted to the floor".

This looks & feels like a sudden power loss which made the drone drop like a rock straight down ... & without power no connection & no log recording.

Here below the important telemetry ... have placed a chart marker just in the end at 160,7sec. Nothing there indicate anything strange. Graph explanations & values from the end in the legend below the chart.
