I had just my Phantom crash into Detroit River. I am not positive what really happened because I lost it.
I am wondering if wind could have made it drop straight down.
There was a gust of wind. GPS mode on. Fresh battery - ~30sek. into the flight. Leaned quite a bit into the wind.
Suddenly it leaned to almost 90 degrees and dropped in that position into the water from ~15-20 meters altitude.
The big question - can a strong wind in combination with GPS mode trying to maintain the location cause the Phantom's pitch so dramatic as to cause to fall down?
