I have 2 H520 drones for almost 1 year with about 30-40 hrs. of flight time on each vehicle.
Periodically, I will run a simple start test in my shop, (in ANGLE Mode) and test the motors after maintenance etc. etc.
After 10 seconds the birds normally shut down as it completes the cycle, (unless the controls are manipulated).
I have done this periodically since owning them.
Keep in mind it is a shop with tools and tables set up for working and tinkering.
Now one, (just one) of my birds wants to launch without any touching of the controls, (yes software is up to date).
It has done this 6 times.
The first incident occurred where I happened to be right next to the bird and caught one of landing gears before it was going to go straight through the roof..
Tried to shut it down with the RED controller button and hitting the power button on the bird to no avail.
With blades going crazy and trying like **** not to rip my arms apart I pulled the battery out.
The other 5 times it has done this I am ready with PPE on my arms, (after trouble shooting controller, calibrating bird outside, etc.).
All 6 times I have managed to pull the battery and not get injured
I have 2 controllers and it does it on both, (controller calibration has been checked on both)
My other H520 does not have this problem and never has with either controller.
This leads me to believe there is something more serious going on with the internal electronics?
Is there any advise I can attempt before I deal with Yuneec?
Thanks
