Is just me or is it an increasing trend that posts here regarding flight problems uselessly describe the problem as a flyaway, when its not, automaticlly blame the Phantom itself or the firmware version or, like one who just uses the 'f' word 3 times. To be honest I'm fed up with all this and I'm, at least for a while, backing out of offering any sort help on this forum as its taking up too much time before you get down to the facts of a problem.
To try and help people as best as possible what about designing a problem flight symtom form that everyone who has a problem has to fill-in before their problem can be diagnosed? A list of simple questions describing the whole thing, model, prop-guards, payload, flight scenerio, including, battery state, firmware state, firmware upgrade procedural statement, weather conditions, environmental conditions (sea, cliffs, trees, buildings, cell towers, HT wires etc)....
Once its refined, make it a sticky.
Its so much quicker to offer diagnosis when you have all the facts and the understandable emotion is out of the way. If pilots want serious help they will go through the process of filling in the form, so we can all respond more effectively.
I remember one where there was a tumble in mid flight, and only after some post traffic it turned out that the guy was flying in 40km wind!
It would take someone with more experience and time than me to kick off with a draft form.
On another note, where are the moderators when bad language is flying about? Unless they find it acceptable of course.
