Well, buying a bicycle for a child (inexperienced operator) risks: 1. critical injury for both a child and third parties upon accident 2. considerable damage to expensive property 3. years in prison for parents 4. etc. however, this does not stop people from teaching their kids driving a bicycle...

Yes, I am working in Germany (Leipzig). I have red DFS Drone Check points (see attachment). As of now, I never fly anywhere else but in the wide wide open fields, with neither people, nor property to be damaged around. I intend to use drone for air quality research (at institute that I am...

To your knowledge, was I committing a crime flying around there? Could I return there for future flights? The place is actually very nice. The space is open with no obstacles (appart that VOR).

Thanks, HE. I will update the very first post, so others will not need to go through all posts to find out the main information.

Steve, good question... When I went there, first I thought it was some kind watering system (from the distance it looked like that). However, now when I looked from Google Earth, it seems more **** frightening... I spent there some 30 to 40 min. Several people passed me on their way for a walk...

Dear all, Today I was able to fly H920 once again. I did 2 flights: 1) 3 batteries no camera; 2) 3 batteries with camera. The procedure was as follows: 1. I started ST24, waited for it to boot. At the same time I took H920 out of car, fixed the arms and found the flat place for it. 2. Turned...

HE, correct. I moved rate knob towards turtle mode. However, before "fly away" drone was both climbing and descending reasonably fast. That is, much faster than when it was descending while "flying away". In the coming days, I will try to find empty field to make more flights. Thanks!

Right, Steve. Will do that!

Dear HE, thank you for this information! The terror cascaded from the point when I first lost GPS signal (first GPS lost, highest drone altitude). From the moment when I visually noticed drone flying to the side, I panicked and start running towards the drone, always looking up, and never to...

Hi johnnyb57, how do you use ST12? Why you want to improve its antenna? I got one ST12 together with ST24 in a tornado H920 (not plus) box. In the manual it is written that ST12 should be used as pilot, and ST24 as camera operator. Looking at both controllers, I would assume that ST24 should...

I have installed 3 batteries before the flight. It must be noted that I did not fly immediately after I turned on the drone. Before the flight, I tried to connect ST12 as fly operator, and ST24 as camera operator. This took quite some time and was not successful. In other words, drone was ON...

Dear WTFDproject, thank you a lot for such detailed analysis! It really seems that a lot of stuff happened during this incident. Thanks to recorded data, we can analyze the situation. Now, with all the information that we have, I could try to conclude: 1. I must have done GPS calibration...

Hi John, thanks for your comments. I will try to answer point by point: 1. I bought H920 in 2019 October. I was not able to test it right away, which I did only in 2020 March. I did read manuals and watched some youtube videos on how to set up drone for flying. a) During first drone test...

Hi all, I have tried to plot Telemetry and RemoteGPS coordinates. This what I got: 1. The location where drone started and landed is correct. I did not find any spots to be in Africa, or somewhere else. Everything from Long and Lat coordinates, which I found in ST24, is correct. 2. The red...

Interesting, thoneter. Before flying, I have tried to connect ST12 to CGO4 and ST24 to drone. This attempt took me indeed 10 to 15 min. However, it was not successful. So yes, drone was on for 10-15 min. But after failed attempt to connect ST12, I turned H920 off, and did the re-binding with...
