Had a gentle crash landing today.
Lost control shortly after liftoff "compass error"!
Also lost GPS.
As It took off I am pretty sure it got caught by a gust of wind possibly before full GPS connection.
It flew backwards towards trees, I was able to force land/controlled crash it before it got caught in the gum trees.
Just dusty. No damage, even the blades survived after cleaning.
The Karma flew once cleaned up without any issues. <Phew!>
Bloody scary though. Thank god I landed it and didn't try to climb out with it.
BTW I had a compass error where I first tried to set up, re-calibrated the compass several times at that location with no luck.
I moved about 15m away and after re-calibration got the OK to take off and fly but then lost it.
I have had a few compass calibration fails now that I have started moving to other areas to fly.
Will try not to fly in the really gusty winds with poor compass calibration lol!
