I decided to fly my spark today over an open field trying to see how far I can go with it before it loses signal and come home.. So on a fresh battery I let it flew thinking if it doesnt come home on its own.. I will hit RTH when battery hits 60% trying to be safe.
About 2000 ft in.. I lost signal .. and sure enough it turned around and started coming home.
But then it never came home... I ended up spending the next hour.. in a field looking for it.
With the last know coordinates.. I eventually found it.
If there is a DJI support person monitoring this thread..
I would love to know why my bird lost altitude and crashed.
I am attaching a video...
At about 1:00 min mark I lost signal.. and the bird turned around and started its climb to RTH altitude of 60m.
Then at about 1:23 it begins its flight home. Then about 1:40 it rapidly lost altitude and eventually crashed.
No bird strike.. no nothing.. Just gradually went down.
Why ?
Here is the youtube clip of what happened.
