Hello all am hoping that you fine people could help me with something with my new drone ...yup new had it less than a week. Up until today i have just been out with it near some fields were i live all has been fine with it. Today i decided to take it to a local race course and get some footage and video of the water ways and race course. 4-5 minutes in to the flight i get out to 500m distance and about 80-100m high the drones says that its RTH thinking cool i get this to try
But it doesn't return to the spot in front of me but decides to fly of in to the distance with me running after it like a mad man trying to get it on the ground. It dips behind a building and its gone this all happens about 1pm today (cant remember the details correctly as this afternoon has been a blur). After looking in the water near a marina and canal thinking my luck gave up and it bit the dust. Fast forward 5 hours and am covered in mud head to toe and frozen.
I get in touch with the local Police line (non emergency) and report a missing drone giving them my details and the make model where it was set of and last seen, and the lovely young lass says that this is the fourth one since xmas and to keep an eye on the auction sites for new drones been sold and spares and repairs. get home 20mins later and the phone is ringing and the lovely lass tells me that someone has found a drone matching my description 1.36km from were i had the RTH it has what seems like a nice soft landing for the most part and it seems ok.
My question for you people is WTF happened if it was user error i need to know for future use and if it was a third party that could have made it happen, i say this as an RC club was within 1km of that site i picked unbeknownst to me at the time of flight.
Not sure how but can upload flight logs of it to see if anything pops up as an error.
