Yeah, the other telemetry seemed fine, but no voltage changes. When I first opened the log, the first red flag I saw was a take off at 43%. I thought to myself right away that this would be yet another case of the voltage quickly dropping to critical as we've seen so often. That's when I kept scrolling down to see how soon it happened, only to find no voltage change at all in any cell.I agree! Seems the GPS was working because of distance and altitude readings, but total voltage and every cell never changed from start to finish.
Sorry to here of the crash, but you, my friend, are lucky it was so low and in such an isolated place and NOT in the ocean!
There has GOT to be something wrong with the voltage sensing circuitry.
Clearly the data shown in the log was not accurately reflecting the voltage dropping during flight. It appears the AC was just flying around happily with no cares in the world thinking it had enough power when it did not. If the app was also showing a static percentage / voltage, that could have been an indicator of pending trouble had it been noticed during flight.
I tend to agree with you that there may be something wrong with the sensing circuitry.
