Earlier this morning I went out for a flight, the location was a bit more windy than expected, so I turned on ludicrous mode in case the gusts got higher. This was the first time I ever had a need to do so, always sticking well within obstacle avoidance land.
After locking 10 sats I took off and sat at a hover (the usual 3 to 4 feet or so) and began validating my camera setting as I always do. Then came the surprise.
With no input on the rc, the aircraft lost all propulsion and dropped out of the air, luckily upright and as far as I can tell directly onto the landing gear. The rc lost connection at the same time. Immediately after hitting the ground, I hear the Evo 2's startup sound and the gimbal swivel check occurs. The rc relinked and I got self checking warnings like I had just turned it on. miraculously, no damage to the gimbal or the fuselage has been found so far. But as far as I'm concerned, it's grounded...
I can't be sure, but it appears as if the firmware experienced something similar to a blue screen and rebooted mid-air, losing all propulsion and connectivity in the middle of it.
This is when I also noticed no flights have been logged in the past 4 days, at least 10 are missing including this one. So unfortunately I don't have the hard data to share unless something shows up in the app later...
Anyone seen any reports of anything like this before?
