Hello Everyone,
My MP encountered a series of unusual errors and then immediately fell out of the sky. It appears that something went wrong with the battery in flight. As soon as I saw the first alert, the drone was losing altitude and heading back towards the home point. I had no control over the AC. All I could do was wonder WTF and watch it fall.
Now, I've looked up some info on the errors. This was a new battery with less than 10 or so charges. I'd flown for several minutes prior to the event, hard to believe that all of the sudden 4 minutes into flight in sport mode, that any propeller would randomly come flying off. And why would a battery error suddenly cause a rotor to eject. As soon as the first battery message popped up, I lost any ability to regain control of the AC. Any ideas here, guys? I'm hoping DJI steps up to the plate here and make things right. Anyone have any comments on the flight data?
