About a month ago I had my first real crash since I started this hobby about 10 months ago. I have now built 3 quad copters, dji F450, v550 reptile (tbs discovery clone) and a H600 (its like an extended F450, like QAV550 but using F450 arms). Each time I build a quad once it flies well I then try to put them into harder flying conditions that what I would normally fly on. This includes flying them in strong wind, make sure it's stable enough a sudden gust of wind if it does happen.
While finishing up testing the H600 on strong wind, on the flight to bring it home. A sudden gust of wind blown, and I believe I was on roll which made the craft flip. I am unsure as it did not have any camera recording. So my memory recollection and eyes maybe wrong.
Anyway I am looking at the logs today, I could not see any brownouts. However I am new to all of these. I am happy enough if the crash was caused by me going over the capabilities of the craft, after all that was the test all about. Can someone confirm there is nothing else that could have cause the crash?
Here is the log file. So far it seems ok, except for the fact towards the end there is a throttle down. I am unsure the throttle down happened before or after the flip. I did throttle down after the flip as I knew that may save my motor and props.
I have now rebuilt the H600, made things better. I have flown it on strong wind and it works fine, not as strong as the condition that I have crashed it.
Thank you very much.
