So I'm flying my EVO in the scrub. Evo is approx 35 metres AGL I stop, turn on video, then begin to yaw around to capture footage. I finish the capture, stop video, then stick forward to return back to my location when evo suddenly stops. Stick forward again, evo starts then stops - I see the display detecting obstacle in front (approx 1.6 metres) yet I'm 35 metres AGL nothing in sight!! I yaw a little more, now its detecting something about 6 metres away - I'm in the air nothing around the craft.
I end-up ascending to 45 metres - thankfully I can now move forward. I land the craft, re-calibrate sticks and compass, then re-try. Go to the same location and it happens all over again, cant move the craft - elevate to 45 metres and all is ok.
There IS one thing that may explain this issue - I was flying over water. So within this dense scrub area there happens to be a small area of water with a centre island. As I flew to the centre Island to capture footage, it was at the point of return from this island that the problem occurred, however I was still over the island not the water. There are trees on this island, they are approx 15 metres tall.
Can anyone explain this strange effect?
