Why did this hsppen??

Full throttle in tripod mode...not going very fast at all

Agreed - but nevertheless it did rapidly go from negative pitch to +13°.

@Kissthesky the .DAT is required to get any further on this. You could try a different USB cable. If you're using a Mac then could you try using a PC?

But... Making sure the battery is securely latched is part of my start up. I don't take off without making sure I get the double click every single time! My checklist covers that as I have seen story after story on this same issue

If you are familiar with this kind of event then you must have known what I would conclude from those flight data. I'm not saying that's undoubtedly what happened - just pointing out what the data suggest.

 

[Kissthesky]

The dat from the bird right? I can get you the dat from my ipad

Correct - for the reasons that I mentioned in post #12.

 

[Kissthesky]

I'll try again...no guarantee

Are you using the USB port in the "nose" of the P4? Not, the USB port on the camera.

 

[Kissthesky]

There is only one USB port and it is on the left side directly next to the SD card. It is the only 1 I've been using and it's the same 1 that was used to update the bird at a dealer in Nashville

 

[Kissthesky]

This is what I'm getting

 

[Kissthesky]

I'm not sure where to go to obtain the DAT file for you to tell you the truth

I finally found the windows version download for assistant two...let's see what happens

That's not the right USB port. I don't have a P4 so I don't know where the correct USB port is. On my P3 the USB port is covered with a white rubber flap in the "nose".

The ONLY port on the p4p

Super frustrating! I downloaded the new version of assistant 2 to my windows computer for the p4p...now is asking how to connect to inspire!! You gotta be kidding me

You're right. I found this

Ignore that and try it anyway.

 

[Kissthesky]

It's not hooking up to Assistant 2

 

[Kissthesky]

It's not really doing...anything

 

[Kissthesky]

Okay..its working now... Maybe I'll have those dat files to you very soon

 

[Kissthesky]

NOOOOOO!!!! Damnet!! It says the DAT file is too large to upload
