HI from GDL Mexico, My name Gerry, 34, new in this hobbit, I´m just got the SOLO 2 weeks ago, i have a few flies now. But yesterday I had 2 major crashes trying to to make a video from the outside of a convention center ( all the road and the entrance then go inside the hall, the site is double high and huge). Well the first i was passing the door (see my pic avatar) then i felt the drone slip a little to the right, but with that was enough to touch on of the propellers and flip and crash from a person´s hight. Well just two propellers. I have tow more on the back pack, change, check all the "systems" works and ready.
Second try and Crash.
Same shot outside, everything perfect.... the cristal door is 10 feet away, i came close to enter the Mezzanine though the same door from the last time ( at this point i tought was my lack of practice and try to pass to close the edge of the door the last crash). So this time i place the drone in the direction of the middle of the door, and start to go close very slow, this time i really felt lost control of the drone go to left, up, not to fast but like been pulled by the glass!. I pull back try to go away from there and hit one of the propellers and same result crash flip slide, destroy 3 propellers.
I checked all I can for the drone and looks great and working. This is a tough MF drone to have all the futures it has. Now i need to wait for the best to open and get new set of propellers.
I think my two errors so far.
1 NO ask details or warnings before try an out-in door fly. ( please notice the staff keep away all the people)
2 try again with out asking
3 keep with the GPS turn ON??
4 no fu.. Idea what i´m doing
5 Just 3 hours or less of flying ( but i really felt the drone "slips" on the second incident)
I did a pre calalibraton of the compass on the first crash and the solo did not request a second before the other fly.
Can you please help me with advices, Info, suggestions or even tell me I´m totally wrong.
Thanks so much for your time and I apologize but this is not my native language.
have a nice Sunday, I will try tu upload the crash videos later to youtube
