    Very clever. I might prefer Sinostar, though. :)

    Maybe it will stick like "selfie" has.:D
    I still don't believe that the there is a huge difference between either as we have all bought our share of knock off items, but it makes you wonder when you see someones whole rig that is a clone of a clone of a clone.


    Nice one:D Ill have to remember that one too

    I have a hexa with dji naza v1, flew it yesterday and it flew great, went out the next day with out a change to anything, I went to arm it and it just took off full blast did a flip instantly and wouldn't turn off , tried to disarm a few time after about 30seconds it stopped
    Any ideas? One strange thing happened a few days before, I went to start the motors they would not arm, plugged it in to the computer and did a advanced calibration and it flew great,


    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Were you in Atti? If it did it in Atti its possible that while it was upside down it was trying right itself up. I had a similar thing happen with Ardupilot APM 2.5 a while back.

    I was looking around on the web and found this,
    Very interesting ,

    I'm using mine on an FPV rig. The other day I went to take off, on-screen display info was all over the place. Altitude jumping up and down, pitch and roll angle moving all over the place etc. This was while it was on the ground, I hadn't armed it yet. Unplugged and replugged the battery back in, all was good. I think for whatever reason sometimes the thing get it's brain scrambled for a bit.

    I have exact same thing on my Ardupilot before on the OSD. It stopped when I re powered as well. I attributed my issue to the cold weather. The way MEMS electronics work is that they have gas bubble in them and a eating element inside a substrate. Some times if it's cold outside some of lower tolerances and have to heat up first. It usually happens fairly quick. Its possible that if they are too cold that they will not normalize properly at initial power up. Fortunately I have never seen this behavior with the MK it seems to normalize fine right at start up, they probably use a more robust MEMs chip that has tighter tolerances or the system waits for the MEMS to heat up before initializing.

    I did a little spelunking around, and I think this is a video from the guy who crashed his Sinostar. Might even be from the same location, and it could even be the same house he was filming. It was just posted, too.

    I read that entire thread and it appears that many people on that board say that Manual mode doesn't work reliably!! That's just nuts. I'm getting the feeling that many DJI users really don't know their copters very well.

    Terrible work, newb, those pans are atrocious. That should have been a work of art especially the location of the property sitting on the edge of a cliff.

    UPDATE:

    Mishap Pilot has been flying RC aircraft since 1973. Has flown multiple traditional hellis and multiple different types of multi rotors. The mishap was being flown in manual intentionally He flies most of the time in Manual and is at a comfort level and experience level for this practice. According to MP the aircraft was flying without issues in several flights in manual prior to the mishap. According to the MP the mishap aircraft became unresponsive and was ignoring stick inputs. If this is accurate with the camop having a problem it sounds it went lost link and may have failed to revert to failsafe properly.


    DJI is failing to respond to MP requests for answers or information, or acknowledging the incident.

    Shaun
