Hi all! Saturday evening as I was flying my last battery I got a warning I hadn't seen before: Switched to Backup IMU. I was about 16 minutes into the flight and the aircraft continued to perform normally. So I finished my shots and brought it home about five minutes later. No problems whatsoever the whole way, but when I search MavicPilots I do see that this message does come up in some posts related to crashes. Should I just recalibrate the IMU and move on with my life or should I be more concerned than that? Here's the line from my logs for that flight:
There wasn't anything else in the log that was out of the ordinary. And this bird has always been rock solid reliable. I did take it to Hawaii earlier this month. So it flew in conditions it normally doesn't and it traveled in my carry on, for 5 flights. Not sure if that's related or not.
