You have to feel for this guy a little bit. The actual time the phantom was flipped over is somewhat short in my opinion. That motor cooked pretty quick. And the comment about being flat.........wasn't a exactly a concrete pad but I have landed on ground that was not as flat as this. Yes, his controls were maybe not correct because it looks like it jumps up right after it touches the ground and instead of him pulling back on the left stick to kill the motors he must have tried the CSC which cause the flip. As far as him spending too much time with the video, it looks like it must have been set up on a tripod or someone else was filming. Anyway, I do think the manual could use some changing. I don't think they should even talk about the CSC. Honestly, I wonder if anyone out there actually had to do this. Just wondering.
It does look like he was trying to attempt to power down the battery though. Why would it have not turned off. I guess if those blades were turning, I wouldn't be too quick in trying to take the battery out of it either. I guess in the bigger picture, the motors are relatively cheap, as long as the motherboard or some other components didn't get overloaded. Even if DJI doesn't warranty it, it shouldn't take much to repair it. |
