    DJI s800 Uncontrollable Yaw and Pitch Over During Take Off

    Thanks for replying Benjamin. I did. The thing is it just happens randomly. Some days I would have good flights without any incidents; some days it happens after a few flights or so. I have not done that. I'll give it a try and see.

    DJI s800 Uncontrollable Yaw and Pitch Over During Take Off

    Hey guys. I recently have experienced a random uncontrollable yaw right and it pitches forward on take off with our DJI S800 Wookong M. I am using IMU V2. I was flying with 4.26 when it first happened. I have switched to 4.22 and 4.16 and it still happens randomly. First time it happened...

    Pro, it could also have been a bad solder on my part.

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Guys here are some pictures of the ESC. I hope it helps answer some of the questions you have. Pro, we had our FOD experience back in September of last year. I don't remember exactly how many flight we have since then. If I have to guess I would say it's around 50-70 flights.

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    My friend, I agree. It has been a few days now, we have not heard anything from our guy Robert at uavproducts. He too is probably trying to get a hold of DJI. Looks like it's going to be a while before we are up again.

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Chris, yes we did to the ESC. We had to replace a few arms resulting from the FOD experience -- yes we have been through it all -- we have a while back. Now that you mentioned it, I guess I might have to go back and make sure all the points are well soldered. Steve, I will post it when I get...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Thanks for the well wishes guys. jhardway you are right and also just as I suspected; one of the motors failed. We opened it up and found one of the cables going from the motor to the ESC was loose. I don't know if it was loose before or after the crash; but the way it spirals down it looks...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Guys. I have a chance to check the GPS. It's not that loose. I don't it pop off and cause the spiraling. If I had to guess I would say maybe be one of the motor was out. I emailed DJI support last week about getting it repaired but the email went unanswered. Has anybody had experience with...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    It's the older version. I didn't want it to be too sensitive to the stick. I don't know how having it that low contributes to lost of control. I feel ProPilot theory #2 makes more sense because my GPS was kind of loose. However I don't think that it was that loose that it would just pop off...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    This was our settings: 130 130 140 160120 120. ProPilot what you said makes a lot of sense. I just wish I know the truth. Chris it was an illusion. Things look faster than normal when you are that close to the subject. I had to admit we flew a little bit higher and a littler faster than...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    ProPilot I was in GPS mode. There was a tree in front of us. As the helicopter flew away to the point where the tree was about to block us, I tried to to slow it down and turn around. That was when it started to spin and went down. My view was blocked by the tree as it went down. It happened so...

    S800 Major Crash - The spin of death

    Yesterday we did a test flight with our recently purchased Zenmuse Z15 and our helicopter failed in flight. We just took off and leveled out around 100 ft. While in flight our helicopter started spinning out of control and dropped out of the sky for no apparent reason and crashed damaging...

    S800 Owners - What battery config do you use??

    MombasaFlash I have the same battery but I get much less than 16 minutes. I get about 8-10. What do you do the get that? Does it have anything to do with how you take of the battery? Is that 16 minutes is just hovering or flying normal? I use APC 14x4.7 props. What kind of props do you use...
