Hi all,
I am new to the site. Thought I would share my experience with everyone plus I had a question hopeully the experts can answer as none of my friends fly these. My wife bought me the go pro Karma 2 with hero6 for Christmas because we have always wanted a go pro and I wanted a drone seemed like a great buy to bundle it all. Did all the uploads and calibrated it. Being that I have never flown anything like this I practiced with the simulator for a few hours then headed out. It was amazing! All went well. Next day 2nd flight, I hit auto take off it went up and I brought it up to about 30 feet then it took off like a bat out of hell zooming around and off into the horizon. We searched for 3 days now at the last known gps signal and nothing. Go pro was very helpful, I up loaded the flight log to them and within 24 hours they are sending out a new unit minus the sd card. I have purchased trackimo to attach to the new one so that i will be able to find it, if it happens again. What I would like to know is can I access the flight log after it has already been uploaded? I absolutely cannot stand the fact that a 1000.00 unit is sitting somewhere in the woods close to me. It has no name on it or anything so someone will find it eventually. The last known location on the controller has a directional arrow but it changes spuraddically as I am looking for it. If I could figure out the direction and speed I believe I would have an educated guess on the fall or landing. Thanks
