My first Mavic Mini accident
This time, unlike many situations that occur here at the Forum, I totally blame myself for this accident, as it was my fault, because of my confidence and knowledge beyond what I thought I had. Let's get to the facts:
It was New Year's Eve exactly, at 0:02 am and in a hurry, I took off the drone without the minimum amount of satellites. As I've done several ATTI flights, I didn't see any problem going up and taking the satellites at a higher height, however, I didn't realize that the drone was going backwards over my head at 3.5m and when it gave the stick command to front he didn't answer, I tried to cut the engines and also without success... Why? Maybe the antennas pointed upwards, cable badly connected in a hurry, anyway.
The drone hit an iron pole and fell off, as the propellers broke and he naturally turned upside down when he fell.
In addition to the scare, I went to account for the damage: all the propellers broke and nothing else! I changed the propellers, re-tightened all the screws and after a flight yesterday and incredibly, everything is OK! Maybe the Universe has given me a second chance to do the checklist next time and I ask friends here to do it.
On AirData I didn't get any analysis beyond the Kp = 4 index, but I got these (little) data from this excellent platform:

A hug and great 2022
