Hello,
a few weeks ago i had a crash of my Goblin Fireball due to loose of control. I wanted to find the reason for the problem and inspected the logs of my Jeti and of the Spirit and got confused. Maybe you can help me to find the reason.
My configuration:
- Jeti DS-12 with SW-Version 5.06
- Spirit RS with SW-Version 3.4.3 (updated to this version about two weeks ago; before I had version 3.3.3)
- Goblin Fireball with all components from the kit
- SLS 6S 1400mA
Description of the flight:
It was the second flight with the model at this day. After Start I was flying around on our flying field with some hovering in between. After about 2:20 min:sec I was flying away from me in a distance auf about 20 to 30 m and wanted to turn right. Suddenly the Heli rolled to the left; I tried to correct with roll to the right and switched to autorotation. The Heli didn’t react and I tried to switch off the motor (I programmed a motor stop switch on my Jeti). The Heli crashed into the ground and the motor did not stop for about 5 seconds. Caused by this the damage was little bit greater.
No other rc pilot was flying on our flying field. So there was no other signal source.
I loaded the log from my Jeti (see enclosed file 12-55-07.log) and saw that at about 2:30 all the telemetry info from the spirit are missing. The telemetry infos from the receiver part are present until I stopped the timer and pulled the battery.
For comparison I include the log from the flight before (file 12-30-38.log). As you can see there are all telemetry info until I stopped the timer (telemetry logging is tied to the timer).
I connected the Spirit RS to my PC and load the log (file spirit-log-2022-12-31-162513.pdf). As you can see there is a lose of receiver signal at 6:10. But I got no information of signal problems in the log of my Jeti.
With this information I was not able to determine the reason for the lose of control. Would you please be so kind to have a look on my logs and see if you can find any information.
Hint: The kit ESC (a hobbywing esc branded for SAB) does not send Voltage, Current and Capacity; so this values are always 0. The battery was 70% full after the crash.
I have two other Heli with Spirit (GT) which are running version 3.3.3. In the moment I am unsure if I can safely update them.
Regards
Gerhard
