survivalshop Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I bought a DJI 3 std drone today , it was quite a bit of brain storming to get it on line & I dicked with it for hours to get it to take off , had a no signal from the RC ( remote controller ) & couldn't get it to link with the Drone after downloading new software , finally after reading some online forums by the manufacturer , I read that after downloading the new software ,you had to re link the RC to the Drone . Well, I must have tried to make it fly a couple doz. times & no deal , until I re linked it & it showed it was ready to fly . It was set on auto how er @ four feet & I thought I was safe in the house , I have halted ceilings , well I started it up in auto hover @ 4 '& that MF took off straight up , all the packing material on the coffee table blew ever where & the drone went straight up & a little off to the right & slammed into my overhead Ceiling fan & then things got real crazy , it chewed up some of the ceiling fans blades up & fake wood was flying every where along with the packing material & everything else that was on the Coffee table , the Drone , after hitting the fan flipped over & went straight down missed me & bounced off one of my Leather chairs & landed upside down at WOT & I couldn't get it to shut off in all the confusion . Finally shut the Drone off , looked around the living room , it looked like a bomb went off with stuff still floating down from above & the Wife comes out with that look , I'm sure all you married guys know & I just started laughing & still get a giggle out of it thinking of it . The drone was fine , just some skid marks from the fan blades , the Ceiling Fan blades has some chunks out of them & can be replaced . I then took my Drone outside & it was fine & got used to flying it , what a blast it is to fly , has a stabilized Gimbal mounted Camera , avoidance sensors , auto return to home & a bunch of other crap I don't know how to use yet , but I have that on the on board Chip in the Camera & can't wait to upload it to see that crash , sturdy MF , I can say that & I will soon be ready for some live recon , because I can not only record it ,but watch in realtime while its happening .
