    Crash Investigation: Sudden Increase in Speed + Crash

    Haha nah I'm keeping track :) I've been taking note of the info you guys have provided and putting it to future practice. Just got back from my roadtrip. Thank you all! My bird is dead, I got another one, but I'll be sure to keep it in mind. Having as many satellites as possible and flying in...

    I see, well thank you for your insight. As a relatively new flyer this was a tough lesson to learn... But I'm glad I at least have an answer it seems.

    Amazing thank you for that explanation. Do you reckon it would be worthwhile reporting it to DJI? It was still caused by an error, and the drastic increase in ATTI feels like a silly design? I'm a little lost on the matter - I feel cheated and yet disappointed in myself on the matter

    Crash Investigation: Sudden Increase in Speed + Crash

    Hi Guys, I've long read this forum, but first time posting... I had a situation occur this morning which resulted in the death of my Spark. I'm typically a slow flyer, admitting I'm a relative beginner but something happened which I can't understand based on my Flight Logs. I'm hoping someone...
