Hi gang
So who has had an auto take off failure?
I did the usual pre flighs, got the green safe to fly GPS, no calibration warnings (as sometimes happens) . Hit the auto takeoff and the bird lifted about a foot off the ground and flipped and slammed into the gravel rd upside down. By the time I got the bird shut down, it had run along the floor wrecking the props. The bird has a crack diagonally between one of the lower casing motor screws and one of the motors might have some dirt ingested
Unfortunately the bird is a month outside warranty and dji assistance is not an option.
I'm thinking of doing a shell "fix" and blowing out the motors with compressed air
Any thoughts
