Why Autoquad gets a crack

[pogmo]

Hi Guys

Hi from Australia.. I thought I would share a video that sparked my research into another AP being the Autoquad and why I am giving it a crack. I hope I am on the right path!
Nic's Droidworx flying the Zero YS X6, he blames himself.. I blame the AP.

Nic, Matt and I are all from the same town here in Australia, Matt was the inventor of the PVC Tquad (quad made out of irrigation pipe and wire rope insulators) and Nic is the Photohigher gimble guru that seems to get everyone out of the crap with his advice in setting it up and flying it.

cheers

Pog

Hi Pog,
welcome to our show!

Hard to say what happend there but to me it doesn't look like a pilot error.

If he switched from GPS to manual mode with zero throttle i.m.o. the aircraft should have come down straight and not nick to the side and flip. Looks more like the front left motor didn't get enough juice to maintain an upright position.
This can be caused by crazed gyros or ESC/motor/prop/wiring gone wrong. If the latter can be excluded it has to be the FC/firmware bug...

btw: the gimbal was doing a good job trying to keep the cam at level.
