I'm still waiting on feedback from 3DR following my recent crash due to complete loss of power.
Since the crash occurred I've not powered up the motors at all as I didn't want to do anything that would compromise any further requirements from 3DR beyond the logs that I have already provided. However, while I'm waiting I was wondering whether I could start up the motors and even do a short trial flight (with the broken gimbal detached) just to see the general condition of the craft.
If I did so, would I be limited in downloading the logs of the crash again for 3DR if required? Is it only the last flight that is automatically extracted when a ticket is raised?
And would it also limit the ability for me to download the logs via Mission Planner (I've not had a chance to get that up and running yet so haven't explored the capabilities to access the logs of historical flights). Does the Solo/controller retain the logs for all flights or only the last few?
The fact that the Solo lost all power mid-air does still make me very nervous though and I really want to get 3DR's recommendations on this. Perhaps I shouldn't attempt any flight and just do a motor test without the props on? I expect that will still be logged as a "flight" though?
Keen to hear your thoughts
