Had a fly away last night. 3 rotors and guards broken. No other obvious damage but now getting the App message, "Phantom Connection Lost"
After the normal satellite / GPS setup, started rotors, ok so far. Throttled up slowly to lift her to 6 or 8 ft. Took off straight up for 100 ft then veered off the the left flat out into a wooded area just above the tree level, (PANIC)
I had little control and it was heading even deeper. Whatever happened, it then dropped out of the sky, into the trees. I did eventually find and recover it. Minor damage really. Three rotors with bits missing off the ends and guards broken. Battery had been knocked out somehow and was a few feet away.
The Phantom connects with the controller as normal, starts up ( without rotors ). Sticks seem ok. Ran through the PC setup etc, Camera still turns on and moves as normal tilt etc but APP shows ( Phantom Connection Lost )
Any ideas? I'm a bit of a Drone Novice. Only had it 2 weeks.
