Well... Im gutted, Just had my P2V shoot off in to the above and beyond without any input from me other than the CSC.
I guess the reason I posting this thread, other than for me to vent some frustration, is to try and figure out what went wrong or if it was something I did?
The bird was initiated in the correct sequence (Extender-Controller-Bird) and was locked in on GPS, compass calibrated. When i moved the sticks into CSC, the drone just took off at a rate of knots straight up. I was unable to regain control and in a last ditch attempt, turned off the controller to initiate RTH...nothing. After about 20 Mins I was convinced that the bird would turn up with its tail between its legs on a critically low battery but again not a sausage.
I have had a couple of instances in my living room (with props off) that with the CSC command, the motors would spin up at a higher rate than idling, but I have not been able to replicate this to any degree of success so figured it could have been some interference from electronics or something.
Could this have been an intermittent problem with the ESC?
I would really love to hear your thoughts on this, I have succumb to the fact that I will never see it again (no contact details on the body), but as you can imagine the most frustrating part is not knowing what caused it.
Thanks for your time.
