I agree with you Ken.........just couldn't keep quite anymore...........the video says "The Top 10 Most Common Pilot Errors" Not " The Top 10 Most Common Pilot Errors Ranked From 1 to 10".
In any event "Pilot Error" means just that.....it was a "Pilot Error". I don't see where Tim posted a video that says "The Top 10 Most Common DJI Design Faults (Based on Consumer Usage)".......that could be a video that goes for an hour or more.
When I got my P3 a year ago, I studied the manual and forum for a week before I took my P3 up......full disclosure, I never had anything like this (P3). Got it up, flew a few days, got confident and thought I was "The Man". Hot footed it across my yard toward my house at top speed, let go of the sticks because in the DJI Manual and literature, the Phantom would stop and hover in place. Hmmmmm....guest I did not realize that inertia dictates that letting go of the controls does not mean it stops like it hits a wall at its exact position,at the very spot you let go of the controls. Unfortunately that's what it did, hit a wall....of my house..............DAMN, Why didn't DJI tell me that would happen! Very expensive lesson (as in destroyed lesson!)
As Forrest Gump says "Stupid Is As Stupid Does"....and I am talking about myself only here. Dead P3.....Dead ego.
I can tell you from an experience perspective.....a CSC can only be preformed if the person is not familiar with what a CSC can do OR.......
Lets say for a moment that you ARE trying to preform a maneuver that would demand a Down-And-In or a Down-And-Out stick input.....aren't you fluent enough with your craft to know what the results of that will be? Are you intentionally trying to do the input or are you just trying to get real close?
That's the part that baffles me.......IF you know the consequences, WHY would you ever get even close to doing it? What's the upside?
Ken you should be thanked for your help and your patience......I think your restrain has been admirable! Well Done |
