![]() I again hit RTH, and it went back into RTH mode.Ĩ. This did nothing, and the Mavic continued to fly away backwards in a straght line at around 12mph and rapidly climbing without any command, was now up to 370 ft and climbing.ħ. I again tried to counter this by pushing the forward stick 100% on the RC, for 15 seconds. The Mavic continued to climb with no input from me, and continued to rapidly fly further away in a straght line ascending upwards, and making big distance gains away from me.Ħ. The Mavic climbed to 311 ft on its own, and I again hit RTH, and it went into RTH mode.ĥ. The Mavic didn't respond and rapidly continued to climb and was also now flying away from me, backwards, with no input from me on the remote control.Ĥ. I tried to counter this by pulling down on the altitude stick briefly, log shows me pulling down on stick 20%-60% for around 2 seconds. In RTH mode, Mavic started to climb, without any input from me.Ģ. The sequence of events that followed immediatley after were:ġ. It was 0 degrees C at the time.I fear this could be the root of all the problems I then experienced.Ĥ minutes into the flight, with 81% battery and at a height of 250 ft, I hit return to home. Yesterday I took my Mavic Pro on a routine flight, with a fully charged battery and a normal default RTH height of 98 ft, flying in normal mode (not sport) for the entire flight. Really wasn't expecting to find it after 3 days searching, so thanks again for the advice, a great result today. I will update the thread this week with the outcome. My next steps now are to dry it out thoroughly and then carefully test it. I am not sure how well it was working on avoiding these at the point of critical battery landing or whether this was simply luck, but I was amazed to have found it - was truly like looking for a needle in a haystack. It narowly missed trees and a river, by a matter of a few feet either side. Was then burried in the snow for 48 hours. It then descended, with a lot of movement left to right as it got lower down, and completed what looks to be a very hard landing, onto snow covered grass. Memory card and footage also intact, I watched the footage and, as you predicted, it was drifting further and further away in the wind, for a full 15 minutes after the disconnect. ![]() In terms of the drone, it was upright in the grass, intact and the only visible damage I can see is a small crack to one of the rotors, no other visible damage, just very damp. I cannot thank you enough for your prediction, as I went to this area this morning and your estimate was absolutley spot on! I walked to the exact area you suggesed at the intersection of the plotted lines and started searching, and found it at the point shown above.
