Recently I bought GEPRC Smart35 Analog with TBS Crossfire Nano RX.
The first day I had the drone I flew 1 pack only for testing - everything was perfectly well.
The second day in the morning I flew 3 packs - everything was perfectly well.
The same day in the evening after a short while of flying the drone suddenly lost control in the air, started to spin and crash into the ground.
I was flying in "Angle Mode".
Something wrong happened with the drone, maybe it lost communication with the transmitter and started to do things on its own or maybe ESC of some motors burned out and that caused the drone to spin or something else. Sure it was some technical problem with the drone and not my fault in any way.
The damage to the drone - one arm of the drone is broken completely, props are broken and more important when I arm the drone two rear motors twitch (one of them is on the broken arm). I think that is an indication that the ESCs on the FC do not work properly.
Unfortunately it only took 4 packs before the drone failed to operate and fell down from the sky. I am very disappointed and frustrated.
One point to underscore - before that flight, when I connected the battery and turned on my transmitter, I noticed that there was no connection between the drone and the transmitter. There was no light on the LED Status Indicator at all (should be green if connected). I just disconnected the battery, turned off the transmitter. After that, I connected everything again and the drone did connect OK.
I didn't pay much attention to it, I thought maybe it was some fluke. Could it be an indication of something?
It is my first drone I use Crossfire and I don't know if it is normal not to connect from the first time. I don't remember what I did first, turned on the transmitter or plugged the battery if it matters.
I had the blackbox log. Unfortunately I cannot find my flight in this log. It should be the last one. But it is definitely not.
What could it be?
