My Mini found the ocean yesterday after it went into a "Forced-Landing" mode 45 seconds into my sunset flight. Under near perfect flight conditions (clear skies, no wind or weather), I took off, rotated about 180° and did a fly-away from the beach to about 250' out over the water. Upon returning, I panned left about 90° for video of the beach and I then received a "High Wind Warning" then immediately after that, a "Props Rotating Too Fast" warning. the drone entered forced landing mode and was completely unresponsive to my controls. Even RTH would not work. The result - splashdown 65' offshore. Am returning in a few minutes to the scene of the crime to see if I can recover the drone... why? Not sure as I'm sure the drone is toast being in saltwater overnight. Maybe the SD card and the props are salvageable. And I was thinking of upgrading to the MM2. Not sure now.
