After completing an rtk photogramity flight and returning to home point. (15min flight)
The propellers on my phantom RTK shut off randomly and abruptly. The drone dropped straight down like a rock smashing on top of my truck. (flight log 1 attached). Damage to the frame, gimbal and camera. I was in disbelief of what just happened. Thinking that I might have accidentally stopped the propellers somehow while descending. I was able to start the drone again and launch again, hovering for a few seconds over the ground, when the same thing happened again. (flight log 2 attached) Have any others experienced this?
The batteries had just been cycled about a week prior and this one came off the charger just before flight.
Flight logs are attached. If someone might be able to point out some abnormalities.
Thanks,
Reece
