[QUOTE="Sparkzup, post: 61498, member: 12666"] Fascinating video. I think that two separate things happened. Your spark was definitely under attack from those gulls. There’s one point where you turn towards the lighthouse from a distance and the spark is flicked pretty hard. You can then see right at the top of the picture, a gull flying away in the direction of travel. So I think that gull attacked from behind. I don’t actually think the gulls caused the crash though. There seemed to be a weird loss of control on the approach to landing, where the drone spins around a little before briefly touching the water. It powered up again, but flipped over. It reminds me of the time I was in RTH mode close to water in the same way you are. I could see the drone was trying to land on the water even though I’d made sure it had set the home point properly, and had a little bit of a panic trying to stop it landing. I was a bit luckier than you were here. I think in your case, I’d probably have landed sharpish when the gulls were attacking, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Glad you were able to retrieve your spark. Hopefully the water didn’t damage it. [/QUOTE]
