Can someone with lots of experience with bin logs analysis look at the attached bin file and see why you think a brand new Solo decided it wanted to do something no good? This was the second flight since new. The first flight was perfectly fine. This flight when it was in hover and should be staying reasonably stable it started to drift, very slowly and then it started to drift faster and faster then it yawed sharply and descended into the ground. Luckily it did no physical damage. I cleaned it up and then proceeded to go through the compass and level calibrations. Afterwards I have flown it a few times and I think it seems fine.
I am wondering if the stock GPS chips are really not good enough and perhaps it lost GPS signal so it had no way to know which end was up. Just a guess.
I plan to upgrade both my solos to the mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N GPS units soon. Perhaps this experience is a nudge that direction if it turns out to be GPS related.
Speaking of my other Solo. I apparently don't have a lot of luck with 3DR Solo drones. The first is on its way back to 3DR for replacement due to what I am told was a brown-out. Strangely it did basically the same thing as my new one just did except it slammed down on the concrete drive and did damage to it. It was way more violent in how it freaked out.
Thanks for taking a look!! I sent the logs to 3DR also. It'll be interesting what opinions they have and my 3DRPilots friends do!
Thanks!
