Sadly,
I took my MA out for a flight yesterday, and less than 2m into the takeoff procedure, it (almost violently) yawed to the left I'd say a good 20-25 degrees, and once reaching precision takeoff altitude of 6m, started yawing slowly to the left again, and shaking.
So I brought it back down, didn't power off the entire drone, just the motors, let it sit for about a minute, then took it back up to see what would happen.
This time it took off flawlessly, so I took it out in a straight line over an empty meadow at a distance up to 1000m and an altitude of between 60-90m. Remember, this was a straight line VLOS away from me and then back. The drone was continuously rolling to the right, forcing me to keep my finger on the control stick to keep it going straight.
Now keep in mind, this MA I've re-flashed via DJI Assistant 2 1.2.4 and re-calibrated everything on it TWICE now, and re-calibrated the RC inputs as well. The re-flashing process may help some, as it did for me for a while, but it seems in many cases, the issues just come back, even with brand-new MA's on 0400.
Glad the re-flashing method has worked for some, but please do not take this as the permanent fix and put your faith into the MA afterwards. Keep your guard up and fly with caution (which should always be the case), and the moment you see anything wonky happening, I would restrict the drone to short-range VLOS from that point on. No sense in taking a risk of losing your bird, or worse, having it crash into something, or someone.
DJI, where's 0500 already, and an official statement acknowledging the issues with 0400? This is now 2 months into this debacle, what a joke!!! |
