Update! I was able to send them 2 videos of the drone flight. 1 showing the perfect control and wide-open field I was flying in, from take-off to landing. And 1 showing the tree at the other end of the field where it went rogue and crashed into. I also provided them with the picture you guys...

After an hour long phone call, They are going to try and work with me. I have to send them the video of the first flight to show that I actually did take off and land in the same location. Because according to their logs, it looks like I flew it around and landed it some 100 feet away from me...

And from what it sounds like in their diagnostics, it sounds like I took off outside the Smart zone, hit left on the thumbstick and hit a tree. When in reality, the tree that it flew into was probably 300 feet away. I am going to call in the morning and see if I can send them the GPS map and...

Update. Here is the response I got. Looks like I'm screwed because what they see and what actually happened are two different things. That second flight, I never yawed anything. I went straight up and tried to move forward and the drone took off to the left and I never touched the sticks as it...

I never raised the landing gear. I left all settings and switches in the same position from takeoff to landing.

I kind of assumed as much too. I greatly appreciate the help. I will update this thread when I have more information.

Yes sir I did. As soon as I got home from work. I also linked this thread, just in case they want to poke in and see the conversation and work you experts put in on helping me :)

Yeah, the manual even says it's recommended to learn Angle Mode, but to start off in Smart Mode until you feel comfortable. Well I only got 2 flights in before the drone went rogue and flew into a tree at 12 m/s, destroying itself, so there was no comfort to be had lol :)

Update. Yuneec Accepted my repair request. Received the RMA and waiting for the shipping label. Got send them the Diagnostic log from the controller when I get home. Once I get it back, hopefully it'll stop trying to self-destruct and let me fly it, and I'll spend a great deal of time looking...

For a little more context, I labeled it. Down on the picture is the direction I was facing the entire time.

Hey Steve, First that is weird, because that looks like a combination of the first and second flight. The first flight is when I took off went forward, did some adjusting side to side, moved over, came back and landed back where it started. The second flight is the one that rocketed off to the...

I will have to wait until I get home tonight to send you the GPS logs. But that is what I was saying. The first flight (day 2) was perfect. The second went absolutely crazy and was going way too fast. 12m/s is quite fast and I had no control. It wouldn't ascend/descend, change direction or...

That sounds like what I was saying for the first day. I took off and did a short flight in the cul-de-sac. But I didn't touch the copter between when I first set it down and the crash after the 3rd flight. Never even got within 10 feet of it. I did the first test flight. Landed it. Flew straight...

Update. After a very long hold on the phone, I talked to Angel at Yuneec. Was very polite and got a case number setup. All I have to do is send them my contact info and they'll send me a shipping label to RMA for repair. Hopefully it'll be very fast and fluid. Thanks for all the help.

Thank you :) No offense taken. This was a gift for my birthday.
