Went to fly this morning. Did the same stuff and checks I always do. Changed the battery, and calibrated the compass. Took it up about 5 ft but realsense kicked in and it would not let me do anything, so I landed it. Picked it up by hand and walked it to the middle of parking lot. Took off again, as I normally do and flew up about 125 ft. and about 485 ft from my position. Turned it around, switched to sport mode, and flew half way back. Just as I switched to sport mode it said that it lost signal for a sec, but it seemed like it was coming home. It regained connection and stopped at my location as it normally does when you hit the return home switch. I knew something was wrong with the way it came down because it just dropped out of the sky like a brick. It normally comes down slow and careful. This was like it was going full speed straight down. It smashed the camera and the landing gear and damaged a few of the motors and plastics. Probably more damage than I can mention here but I don't wanna look at it. It hurts to look at it and I just bought it. (7/6/18) It happened so fast. My wife looked online and saw that a few people had the same problem but when she showed me the articles, most looked like the older model based on the posting date vs when the PLUS model was released. Why would it do this, and what do I do now? I think I'm still in shock...
