Man, as a new forum member who is waiting for their DJI Mavic to arrive... I hope I never have to go through something like this. I usually keep to myself, but you could call me "slightly triggered" after attempting to read through this thread.
I'm afraid I would have to side with the rest of the community here, ArtistFirst. Don't take what I'm about to say as bashing you personally - I don't know you or what you've been through. I only know how you come off to strangers in an online forum where there is no sense of tone or emotion, and that is what I want to state. There practically wasn't a single post in this 3 page long thread where you didn't spout your vast experience as if that puts you in a superior position than the rest of the community. You can see how that might ruffle some feathers when you're the one asking for assistance. The fact that you write a novel in every response shows just how defensive you are. You pretty much derailed your own thread by projecting your own cynical attitude through your responses to the petty jabs flying from side to side in this thread.
I wasn't stating that I have vast experience, I was only saying I have been flying for about many years without a crash. That is not anything but a fact.
No need to be worried, I fell way out of the statistics. If you fly for as long as I have (and I've ben flying RC crafts long before the quad revolution) and I was due for a crash. I had a good run without one.
As for getting input on why TWO people (one who apologized in a PM) and I told him no need to apologize, the fact that this keeps getting brought up is mind boggling. I would think by this point, it is pretty obvious that I am not what people were thinking when I wasn't responding for a day. I have a job that demands a lot of my time and sometimes I am not here for days even after I post something or someone asks me for something.
I was also much more active on another thread. Either way, I am sort of done talking about that aspect of this thread. I was just trying, like others have before, figuring out why my bird went on it's course. Soon, DJI will give a reason. DJI has been actually surprisingly quiet about why I got that warning, and I still have no idea why. It is very bizarre to me how much of my behavior has been discussed in this thead. It's sort of been a rolling boulder of nothing as I can't even imagine posting more info that I have in this thread. Post #93 was the eureaka thread for me. After that, it's all been for nothing. At that point, I figured out WHAT happened, now I jsut need the WHY.
That I write a novel in every post is "not how defensive I am" it is because I am a manic person who writes super fast and I often, and on other more jovial threads and forums, am made fun of in a jokey way for it and it's just a commonality about me. I have serious ADD and can be manic as I said so sometimes my posts come out as long winded and non-sensical. I suppose it would be nice of me to go back and make them more concise but I just don't have the time for that in my life.
I work in this business as a VFX supervisor/director/DP and other things and nobody seems to complain there about my wordiness and in my line of work, your words and descriptors are not just important but the job itself, so if it's a problem it's not because I am being defensive, it's just me. I don't even know what there is to defend if I'm being honest.
And what the changes in the behavior of the aircraft is when it enters that mode is that it brings down the altitude of the bird which is why I hit the tree. If you read post #93, it is obvious that the 22 seconds befoer hitting the tree, the craft descended from its proper 174 feet down to 134 feet in a short amount of time and because it was in this mode.
The ONLY thing I could thing of is that it was in a class B but that is not the reason, per DJI so I have no idea but am going to find out soon enough, hopefully!
Adam
