At the risk of upsetting you, you're just being stubborn here. There's no possible way you could know what the wind speed was at almost 900ft, the wind at ground level is irrelevant. Furthermore, the log clearly shows wind being a problem. For instance at 6:35 you're full right stick backwards in Sport mode and the Mini is doing just 10-11mph instead of the 28mph it should be doing. This suggests a significant wind at that altitude, 17-18mph at least. And that was at 580ft. You then climbed to 880ft! Keep in mind the max speed in P mode (the mode used by RTH) is just 18mph so you're already in trouble, even at this "low" altitude of 580ft. Furthermore, while being blown backwards by the wind in RTH mode (14:50) you can see the mini is pitched down, trying to fly forward. It is however moving backwards. No other explanation than wind. If it was RTH going crazy, the drone would be pitched up to fly backwards (like in the previous 6:35 example).
The log is pretty clear, this was pilot error, the drone did nothing wrong.
Thank you for your observation and analysis, yes I guess I am being a bit stubborn in believing its entirely a pilot error and the drone is working as per design. As mentioned before I have flew my mini in very harsh wind condition by the seaside and it have managed to come home safely - that's a confidence builder there. I guess this incident is just one of those days where everything just went sideways. I'll wait for DJI's official reply before I start selling batteries, controllers and prop guards. |
