Ok just a short but interesting update. I got the replacement drone in just under 2 weeks ago and today was the first chance I've had to do a simple test flight. I calibrated the IMU and Compass before flight. I wanted to keep things under control and near my property. I flew it around my...

Thanks for extracting and providing the details from the logs. The drone was sitting as you stated when I found it although I can't remember if it was left or right side but either way the logs are likely accurate. After looking at the data and recalling what things looked like while flying in...

Wow, this is still a puzzle. It is almost like it suffered a complete loss of power but then again, it was still powered on when I found it. I have a separate question if someone doesn't mind providing some input. I was able to find a new, unregistered P3 Standard on Ebay that had the...

Here is a link to the .DAT files Nov17-DAT-Files

Ok, I was finally able to pull the .dat files off the internal SD card of the drone. I was unable to connect the drone back to the RC so I just took apart the drone and removed the internal SD card and it mount fine in my Mac that way. There were a total of 9 .DAT files with the same timestamp...

Sorry, been busy the past week or so and will try to get the data pulled off this week.

I'm curious as you were referring to about not flying responsibly? I was flying over a completed wooded area at a safe altitude and had visual through the camera at the time of the crash. My mistake was that I didn't hit record so I could verify if a bird was involved or not.

RodPad, The app did say I was in flight data mode but just wouldn't mount the drive on my Mac. I am going to troubleshoot this a bit more when I get a chance. All of the props were still securely on the drone but one of the motor arms was cracked badly from the fall. The camera was within 5...

The housing is broken at one of the motors and the motor is tilted up a little and the rotor hits the frame now so this chassis is toast. Considering it was a 200' fall I would have expected even more damage. I'm trying to get the .DAT files off the drone but having an issue getting the drive...

Thanks guys for the inputs.. We may never know for sure since I forgot to enable recording. It was so early into the flight I just didn't think about checking it. I do suspect a "bird of prey" as when I was in the woods in the area of the crash I could hear a large bird in the trees but...

I've have uploaded my flight log from Litchi into the Log Viewer and here is the link: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

I had a "not so normal" flight today. I was only 3 minutes into flight at about 200' and flying over some woods close to my home. I was watching the flight on my tablet as the drone was, by now out of sight. Everything seemed to be going fine when all of a sudden the drone seemed to dip hard...

I loaded up 1.7.0084 as well this past weekend and I didn't have to relink the bird and RC as everything worked fine. I'm hoping the final version will be out soon as I'm not 100% comfortable flying on a BETA but so far it seems ok.

longdog, where did you get your Sunhans Amps and battery pack?

Thanks for the info....
