The other day I was flying my P2+ around my home, just getting a little practice. As I started to come down to the lawn for a landing at about 3 ft it just "fluttered down" to a hard landing on the lawn. I thought it strange, but sort of shrugged it off. Today I was flying at a gravel pit a few miles from my home. My intention was to fly for about an hour using my extra batteries. I had flown for about 10 minutes and I was in the process of bringing it back close intending to grab it by hand when it got close. At about 30 ft away and at around 10 ft in height it just "fluttered down" again. This time it was over a cliff and fell another 10 feet from where I was setting. I tried to hit the up to save it, but no result. Now I am a little worried that something is wrong with my Phantom.
I was using the return to home mode. I have prop guards. There was a little wind, not too much. GPS was in and out, from 4 to 9 satellites. This time it broke the landing gear, and two of the prop guards. But the camera seems OK, so maybe the extended landing gear did it,s job. Does this sound like ring vortex?
I hate to say that I am starting to dread my flights rather than enjoying them. Any ideas?
Thanks
