Losing a LOT of altitude while moving forward
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2018 1:04 pm
Hello,
When I fly forward with my Zino, I lose a lot of altitude. If I fly full speed ahead, I lose about 4 metres vertical height in 50 metres. When I stop moving forward the drone gradually regains the orginal altitude in about 3 seconds. The rate of height loss is steady over the horizontal distance. Surely this can't be right?
This behaviour is very hazardous - nearly hit myself with the drone this evening. The drone is running the latest firmware available - v1.0.44. I can't say for sure but I don't think this happened with the earlier firmwares.
I might add - this is in very calm conditions. Local weather station is reading 0km/h with 'gusts' 4km/h.
