Maybe not, but it wouldn't explain why there has been a sudden increase in numbers falling just recently and why they are all recently built ones. Much more likely that something has changed in the manufacturing process and there is a fault in some of a recent batch. Could be a change of component or a new worker not soldering battery connections correctly.
I would see what DJI support conclude from the phone logs before trying to find it with divers. With new aircraft they do sometimes replace them just based on the phone log. Possibly they might replace it just based on the serial number if they know that a certain batch contained a faulty component.
Perhaps not so much because they are new, more inexperienced with the craft perhaps?
Take this case for instance, (not saying that this is what happened for sure) the guy is used to the p3 then gets to the P4 of which is a different battery fitting (or sommat) thats just a theory is all, the ill fitting could explain the total loss of power. On the other hand, your idea of a factory defect would also be plausible, this too would need to either lay with the battery or the gubbins's there abouts.
Another explanation of the abrupt end to the log is perhaps not so much because of the failure but because the craft had not yet sent the final parts of the data that may have narrowed the issue down some, reason i say that is because when i ditched mine, the log didnt show the final part, i.e. the trying to remove the underside of the bridge, the inversion and subsequent swim, the log would have shown a negative altitude right at the end but it never did, even the video was corrupt (phew ;) big shame i know lol :p ) |
