[QUOTE="Bayou7, post: 67054, member: 10508"] My Spark crashed into a tree after going into RTH mode just before I was about to grab it and turn it off. Battery level was at 17%. I was within 3 feet of the RTH position for the flight, but just as I was about to grab the drone to end the flight it rose to about 60 feet and then flew sideways about 20 feet among trees. I'm not sure if it hit the tree before I hit the cancel option or it fell as soon as I hit it. But fall it did---- hitting tree limbs on the way down and finally landing onto and buried within a pile of sand. The sand may have saved to drone from complete failure. As of now, it's just the gimbal motor that is overloaded, The motors were 'gritty' until I kept turning them . Seem to work ok now. So question is about RTH behavior. When the drone was this close to original RTH position, why did to rise and fly away? When it's that close, shouldn't it just land where it is when battery gets low. So did drone misbehave or was it user error? [MEDIA=youtube]cN2SGOBOYsE[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
