Hmmm ... There were plenty of things wrong with this flight.
I think it would be a good idea to read the manual before trying to fly.
First point is, do like the manual says and only fly with a fully charged battery.
I was under the impression that the battery was charged as it had been on the charger, plugged in for about 3 weeks. But I can see here that was not the case.
So since the GPS recorded the homepoint after I launched is that why it reads a negative altitude?
The drone did repeatedly hit the ground, twice, and I had to hold it down with my hand to keep it from lifting up again.
In any case, historically the drone when the sticks are held down will land. Not slam into the ground, but lower, hover a second then land.
What I experienced was the drone lifting up, then hitting the ground, at which point I held the stick UP, it lifted up again then hit the ground, then lifted a few inches before I was able to hold it down. I actually didn't have the controller in my hand after it hit the ground the second time as I left it on the table to go grab the drone. However the information here indicates the stick was down even though I was trying to get the drone to lift. I did not have the controller upside down.
In any case the information I got back was that my only option is to replace the drone again. My question though since this one is unflyable is: Why are there negative altitude indicators? I've never had issue using my old drone with a homepoint that isn't on the ground. Does a homepoint zero the altitude? |
