Full flight went fine, no warnings, etc., >50% battery, no wind, maybe my 10th full flight with this new M2ED AC, I was executing a manual landing (<3ft from ground), AC was facing my front stoop approximately 4ft from bottom step landing on the asphalt it just took off from, I was less then 10ft away watching video feed via Samsung S8 on the RC, pulled down on left stick, it started a normal controlled decent, then suddenly shot straight forward (looks like full speed from the video feed) into the rock step and crashed...........
I own 3-M2's, 2-MPP's, 1-MA, 1-Spark, 1-Tello and a EVO and fly enough to be confident (not over but, seasoned) this wasn't me/my mistake, I don't (didn't) just spazzed out and use the wrong stick.....This was the AC that spazzed out, not a happy camper as I have NEVER crashed any of my AC's and this thing just took off by itself into a rock stoop during its controlled SW initiated landing............
The 3 steps on the stoop have a small iron railing that has never caused any of my AC's a problem (mag/compass error) in the past, it wasn't compass error to the best of my belief else I would have a mag/compass error when taking off, esp with all the other AC's that have launched/landed in exact same place.
I repeated my same steps exactly after replacing broken props and cooling off some and it landed perfect....same spot.
Not happy!!
