I had 4 batteries worth of flying time with my shiny new Karma and all was great...UNTIL...
I was just tinkering around on a deserted beach one morning getting more familiar with my new prize. I had calibrated compass and flown about 30 minutes (was on my second battery) . I brought the drone about 15 feet away and a few feet off the ground. I was sitting in a chair looking at the controller while letting the Karma hover. It was calm and beautiful weather. The controller came up with GPS signal lost message. Within in a second I heard the pitch change on the drone and looked up in time to see it flying right at my head. I instinctively slapped it away from my face , breaking two props and losing part of the end of one finger and beating up a couple others pretty bad! The drone crashed a few feet away in about 6 inches of water ruing the drone and stabilizer and battery. What a way to to start day,
