Hello everybody. This is my first post although i was visiting forum often searching for info as i was building my first quad copter. I am extremely satisfied with performance but i had 3 crashes that was caused by failsafe. Twice because of GPS glitch and today because of battery failure. So far i could not identify problem. Let me just elaborate todays event. My bird fly very good today as i was switching thru different modes stabilize, atlthold, pos hold, one short 2 waypoint mission and even i tried follow me. Everything worked great than i let it hover about 1.5 meter above ground as i want to deplete battery because 1 cell on my new lipo was a bit unbalanced and wanted to give it full charge. Suddenly as pm reported below 20 % estimate failsafe kicked and by log quad went to land mode and flipped over. Same happend few days ago when failsafe kicked in because of mix of GPS glitches and RC control loss. Quad went to land mode and and plunder from 80 meters. Here is auto analysis:
