Yesterday was really a bad day for me.
I was test flying my drone which I have bought on my company's behalf and I usually fly over our premises. I do not know what happened yesterday but what happened is that It flew 711m away from me I tried controlling it but it wasn't stopping and it faded away from my sight.
I was devastated because there seemed no way that we would be able to recover it. Then Me and my colleagues went out to search and we searched the probable locations for about 3 hours asking ppl and checking roofs of buildings and bungalows.
Being a newbie I did not know the ways to recover it in such a case plus the amount of stress I was in I couldn't think much sensibly. Anyways, I then checked the fly log and was able to find out the last location of my drone and the home point it selected. The Mfking home point it selected was 711m away from where I was flying I do not know why it did it. Usually I check the home point when I fly it and it says in the manual that home point is automatically updated when it launches and it usually is the location from where it is taking off.
We did try return to home option yesterday but I immediately canceled it but then after a while It just went outta control I could not do anything and It went so fast towards its 711m wrong home point.
After Hours of searching someone from one house came and asked are you trying to find something I said FUCK YES A DRONE WHITE IN COLOR. Finally this guy handed me the drone and I was amazed to see that It was scratch-less . They told me that It landed in front of their house and they took it in assuming that someone would come looking for it.
But Now I am so shaky to fly it again... The way it went outta control ... The Fever ... The rage ... The feeling of powerlessness...
