    Near Fly away, Bizzare behavior and then a crash!

    Thats what I thought too.. but I think I can just about hear the Props Go ZZZzzz when it's flipping over.. What do you think? Motors or just the wind and speed making the props spin?

    Near Fly away, Bizzare behavior and then a crash!

    Hi.. Yup I know. I throttled up as I switched. Have flown manual before and switched it to manual and had drop straight down. I see what you mean though.. moving fast in a direction and switching to manual might have caused it to flip over. What are the proper settings would you know? and any...

    Rapid Descent with no control

    Hi.. Thanks for responding! Have answered your questions below It wasnt very cold.. maybe around 20 C, in anycase the batteries were warm but like you mentioned perhaps at this height the power draw was more than what the battery could give out. But whats really got me scratching my head is...

    Rapid Descent with no control

    Hi, Have been flying the P2 for a few months and have had 1 crash which now when I think about was similar but with an older firmware and a much lower altitude. This time I was flying at 10,200 ft above sea level and was very cautious and was expecting it not to fly, though there is a video of...
