Not sure how people are crashing their Avatas, but this has me paying a little more attention to details. I haven't had any crashes from "design" errors. My mistakes so far have been
a. flying full throttle low to ground/dunes, small dune comes up suddenly, and drone crashes into dune head first - power stopped, i walked over and recovered it manually, used a blower to clear out the sand from the gimbal and motors
b. learning to thread the needle - pilot error (I'm used to flying regular drones, FPV is very new to me). Poor coordination, lack of confidence, plus a small gust of wind (lateral) and boink - Avata bounces off a branch, spins, hits the ground, motor error, motor powers back up, and I take off and fly back to home point to see if there's any damage
c. flying indoors - went from outside through a door into an abandoned house. Not sure what happened, during entry (was flying slowly), the Avata drifted to the right (windy day) and clipped the door frame, flipped and crashed. Again, Avata's fault or simply caught by a gust of wind or user error?
I checked with a couple of friends who fly FPV and apparently, my mistakes happen to them too - part of parcel of flying FPV. They haven't flown the Avata, but from what I can tell, it's nowhere close to what they fly (cinewhoops) which are far more configurable, agile, and designed for acro
Think of the Avata as an Audi TT for trackdays, and asking why it handles so badly compared to a Caterham 7... |
