Within 2-3 seconds, the bird was going crazy ... within a few seconds it had come down hard on the pavement. I didn't have time to react to try for switching to manual mode or turning off the transmitter for RTH. I realize these things could have saved me but it happened so fast :/
The question is, why did it crash?
It must have been radio interference or satellite issues. But I have flown this location before, clearing my mind of radio issues? So therefore, satellite connection issue? I have heard of not having a really good lock and the GPS system being confused about Phantom 2 true position and this resulting in crashes and flyaways?
I calibrated in the middle of the park field but there was a suspicious manhole about 10 feet from me.
