Today, I took my H out for a quick flight to show a friend, and get a photo of his house. I prepared the aircraft as usual, and took off without a problem. However, 30 seconds into the flight, I had a 'motor failure' and the aircraft switch into '5 rotor mode'.. I then tried to land the aircraft, which was very difficult, as it didn't want to descend at all.
The rotor that was directly opposite the failed one appeared to be starting/stopping (perhaps it was just changing direction to compensate).
After 2-3 minutes of trying to land the aircraft on the ground, I gave up and 'caught' it with my hands. I immediately powered down the H, and checked to see if any of the motors felt stiff, or hand a burnt smell to them etc.. they didn't.
I then held the H above my head (by the landing gear) and instructed my friend to start the rotors, and gently try to 'lift off'.. the H responded to those commands perfectly.. Tomorrow I will try to diagnose the issue/fault further.
Is there a GUI for the H like there is for the Q500? If so, is there a Mac version available, or only Windows? (If Windows, ill have to spin up a VM or something).
