Hey All,
I've got about 9 minutes of flying under my belt-- read the manual, watched videos, 1st day--
In an open field, calibrate compass, good to go. I take some one minute flights, using auto takeoff and auto land. Before I took it up the last time, there was some kind of warning on the status bar-- trying to remember, something like 'rotors too tight'?... I cycled the power off and on, and then it said ready to fly...
5 minute flight, manual takeoff, when I came in to land, lowered aircraft slowly and hovered about 2 feet off the ground. I then gently lowered the throttle and it set down, then it immediately turned on its side and started SCREAMING! I tried to kill the motors with the remote, but still loud sound, I tried to power off the battery, then I saw smoke coming from one of the motors, I reached in and disconnected the battery...
Sooooo, is this my fault? What would you guys suggest?
Thanks,
Scott
