Oh well.
what can i say. It sadens me to see my karma flipped all by istelf right after touch down.
so here goes.
everything was well. Flew well and stable.
until i decided to land it.
It landed smoothly (or was about to) then it slowly drifted to the left.
i decided to land it anyways since it was like 3 cm from the ground anyways and it wasnt the first time it drifted when im low to the ground and landed safe.
Not this time. I was on a pavement on the side walk and i descended slowly.
5 cm fromthe ground it was stable for 2-3 seconds.
then i started to drift. I decided to land it and it landed on all four points of the landing gear for like 1-2 seconds.
For whatever reason it decided to roll left and stayed there.
then suddenly it boosted a bit, grabbed the front left arm to the pavement and sent the drone throwing itself 180 degress over its back.
Wife saw my face from happy down to a very long face.
all three props are out execpt for the propeller on the same arm that grabbed the pavement that survived the crash with a bit of a scuff on the ends.
i turned it off, walked back to my sitting bench and unscrew all props.
went back again and started the drone to test if it was functional.
by damn luck it did.
camera worked, karma worked. All connections worked. Gimbal was a bit banged with abit of scuffs and tiny dents but to my surprise, it didnt affect the funtion of the tilt-pan-roll of the gimbal.
I was noticably yawed a bit to the left.
Calibrated the gimbal fixed it. Horizon was straight surpisingly.
flew it the next day with a second set of props minus the props that survived and used that anyways.
It was all fine.
this machine can take a bit of beating.
wanted to buy one more last week complete with everything and 2 batteries for 250 usd but lost it at auction for 370.
My budget was 300-320 tops.
