I was flying at 70m and the wind picked up so fast and i got a Land ASAP Warning Massage
and the drone was quite tilted in the circuler map
and i was wondering would it flip if wind is strong or if it breaks and wind blows it

Hi,

With enough wind, it is possible for the spark to tilt, and this would cause the motors to stop. Do not fly in high wind!

This site is good to check-out wind at different altitudes..

But I never use it, if I feel if its too windy I just don't fly.

would not think that it would flip but as sslca44 said would tilt much etc. The IMU will keep it from doing that but if tilted much could shut motors off then you will get your flip or many as it falls to ground.

A 90 degrees tilt will shut off the motors, try it indoors!

You all should know that the only way a spark can flip is if it hit something or flew into a tornado. I did do some testing on mine and found out that with much wind tilted much but only so much as to keep itself in the air but got blown back. No will not tilt enough to shut down normally but with much wind as tornado nothing will be good.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We're not encouraging our customers to fly their drone with the strong wind to test and see what will happen, or even flying it in a hazardous environment to avoid the incident. Please use the aircraft in a recommended environment for safety purposes. Thank you for the support and understanding.
