Hi everyone,
Just wanted to report my experience, it might be usefull and maybe i could get some explanations on what happened.
A couple days ago i took off with my p3a from my little garden; everythin was fine (imu calibrated, compass calibrated, no wind); after 5 minutes flying around i slowly landed but didn't turn it off cause i decided i wanted to take some more shots of the little dears that were running on the hill next to my house; so after 20 secs i gave power again (i took off full throttle as i did many times) and the phantom immediatly flipped on a side scratching 2 of th propellers on the ground! In the moment i saw it turning on a side i instabtly executed CSC, so no damages, just little scratches on 2 props (tj"hat i'm never gonna use again).
Now, i have some flights with the phantom, never had a problems, flown pretty far from me, always took off and landed with no problems and i'm not a newbe in rc models (jets, and helicopters).
I wonder if there had been damages due to this unexpected behaviour, would em be covered by warranty?
I watched back at the flight log, and nothin was wrong, when it flipped you just can see i gave throttle withouth pushin the sticks in any other direction.
I consider lucky cause i just lost 2 props, but what if i had serious damages to my little expansive baby?
Thanks for your opinions!!
