I had my first actual Flyway Event:
But it does NOT appear to be GPS related:
Luckily it crashed into a nearby cow pasture hill side of the same height or it would have kept on going.
Suspect/Theory:
But it does NOT appear to be GPS related:
- I ascended the drone vertically
- Then jogged left a right a few times
- Spun the drone nose a bit to line it up
- THEN.. I moved the joysticks just a little to back the drone up a bit
- That is when the drone took off
- As if it locked in the last commanded direction and speed
- The drone did not respond to the joysticks
- I saw the drones LEDs green indicating it had a a GPS lock as it flew off
Luckily it crashed into a nearby cow pasture hill side of the same height or it would have kept on going.
Suspect/Theory:
- The drone ignored additional RC control reception and kept using the last commanded direction and speed.
- The controller firmware is buggy and it kept sending the same information ignoring its own joysticks
