This afternoon my Solo was taking off normally, and basically went unstable 3-4 feet off the ground, ploughed into the dirt, and broke a prop. No idea why.
I thought maybe I had burned out an ESC, so later I tried it again (far away form any people or property). It flew just fine until it started flying erratically, and I lost (most) control. It went very fast in a backwards direction, but I was close to the ground (being careful) and was able to land it (another broken prop).
This is extremely discouraging. I would appreciate any insight you may have around why it would do this.
At this point I just feel like giving up. The Solo is great when it works, but this is not only dangerous, it negates all the positives of the machine. I had similar issues with the Phantom 2, but not as often.
I like the Solo platform much better than the Phantom's, but I know I'm not the only one it goes crazy on.
Who can tell me the best way to translate the logs?
