Well I managed to crash the Avata 2 on Monday
Was at Ponty park race course and after reaching a top speed of 65.8mph FCC hack
I was doing some loops/rolls at slower speed and came.up with idea to do a nice big loop It didn’t go to plan
As a result when going over the loop all I saw was the ground getting very close I tried to reverse the roll but yes too late
The drone hit the ground doing 33mph backwards thank god
Damage I dirty backend and the battery had ejected from the drone and bent the catches out.
How this would of happened baffles me
I also can’t play the video file from the drone as I guess when the battery departed it would not of closed the video file
I have the file but cannot play it
Was a really lucky escape and I won’t be trying the manoeuvre again
Vcl video player can sometimes recover video files. If not google video recovery tools theres one sorry cant remember which where you load the corrupt file , and a working file from the same device and if worksbout whats missing and puts it in so the file works, not 100% guaranteed but worh a shot as its free. Plus there are loads of others. I can’t recomend a specific one, as different ones have different success rates.
I assume full manual with the RC controller? Well apparently it’s not for tricks at all. Madstech says very under powered, possibly more so than the OG Avata, which struggled at times. It’s awesome with the motion controller in those modes, but for full manual…
TBH any ducted drone can struggle, though the Avata’s have had issues with this (the OG and it’s YAW, and I’m still 100% convinced was the drone last week on my first ever crash with the OG Avata).
basically goes into “Underpowered, borderline dangerous cinewhoop at best”
Did fly one myself last week, and whilst defo faster and cool with the motion controller… For “Manual” mode pilots you’d be better off with something else
Awesome drone as Mads says for motion controller, slow smooth flights, don’t do tricks (well other than the single click tricks, hehe)
