my quad just randomly flipped

Posted by wraith on February 28, 2012 at 6:39pm

hi guys, today i was doing a little bit of hovering in side, when it just randomly flipped over, i couldn't disarm the motors, i think it has done this once before in a previous release, im using the 2.4.1 release, i checked the battery voltage and i had about 22% battery left, it was the same voltage when it fliped before, this time when it flipped it was very aggersive, is there a bug in the software that would cause this

 

cheers glen

    just thought i would do an update on this problem, after putting new blades on the quad i thought i would take it for a fly, it flying ok til i gave it a bit of yaw, after giving it small amounts of yaw i noticed something weird , the blades would make horrible noise, then the more yaw i let the sticks go and it would tilt side ways

    at a guess it went side ways, it happened so fast, to the the right, i mean looking from the back of the quad it flipped clockwise, motor 2 and three went in an upward direction

    The same thing happened to me. It scared the crap out of me the first time. After it did it a second time I just unplugged and plugged the battery in. Seemed to correct the problem...however, it seems like something that shouldn't happen.
