hello guys, im new here but ive been on the mavic forum for a while. ,,,i want to see if anyone else has had something like this happened..soo i was outside a while ago, it was about 1130 pm.. so dark and cool.. i fly around the back yard around the trees and in the alley, i have been using the Motion controller because i have use of only my right arm. i had the goggles on and connected but was flying LOS...i have had the horizontal yaw control enabled in the MC controller menu...where when you twist the MC the fpv yaws left and right but returns to center when you return the MC to center.. i use to make quicker turns in small places to assist the coordinated left and right turning. battery was at 58 percent.
i was doing figure 8s about 20 feet up and in the figure 8 i was descending and ascending i was not over the pool but it decided to start pirouetting left and flying forward and descending toward the pool.kinda like a nose in hover left tornado type thing... i had the MC pointing straight up and full right at about 30 percent throttle then 100 and everything in between.. but it finally stopped pirouetting over the yard and began a slow forward flight over the pool... it skimmed the water then at the last second it rose up just enough to clear the edge of the pool and crashed into the picnic table leg under the back porch about 1 foot from where i was sitting at about 5 mph///i was fighting it the entire time but it was not responding much at all. to the MC ...after it hit the table i checked and luckily no damage both the imu and compass show normal.. first thing i did was hit the emergency stop button but it did not stop
the second time i was also descending an making left and right inputs like in the figure 8s....this time it kind of jerked and bucked nose up, i heard the motors changing rpm, so it was doing something i was not commanding ..it started started to fly backwards and pirouette at the same time. i was inputting forward throttle and leaning the MC in the opposite direction of the pirouette.i didnt want it to go into the neighbors yard or into the pool, i seemed to have a little control in both situations but at the very limit of the MCs control so i put into a big tree.. again no damage but a bent prop.. compass and imu show normal. this time i hit the E stop button first again and it also failed to stop it
i checked the goggles both times and had a message ... it was something like Maximum control or input angle exceeded
i went in and disabled the horizontal yaw control..and it seems like it doesnt make jerky movements anymore when descending figure 8s..just as i was beginning to trust it.
my flying of RC helicopters i think saved my twice..so im not pushing my luck anymore tonight.. have any of you ever had an experience like this with either controller i dont know how to or if there us a flight log that might explain further. ive got 68 flights on it in normal and sport mode never crashed or bumped..
could it have had something to do with the dark..
or maybe the imu got confused or overloaded.when getting inputs from the left and right inputs plus the input from the horizontal yaw control causing it to get a maximum control angle exceeded type of thing. i just know its gonna be a while before i trust it again.. i have power lines like 75 yards from my yard..but i figure it cannot be that because i fly the P4Pv2,mavic platinum and inspire 2 back here to stay in practice and cycle the batteries regularly. but i guess anything is possible
i will converting the stick controller at some point to fly with my mouth and rydder knob the same way i fly my helis. i just couldnt wait and wanted to fly it so i got the MC. you know how that is
