Hi, I was trying the hard deck on the geo link and all of a sudden the heli went inverted. bouncing out of control, I tried the return to home but nothing happened apart from it disappearing behind a tree..... at which time I killed the throttle .when I tried to check the logs there was none, not even a flight log on the geo link?
what next? as far as I can tell there was no mechanical failure, how can I tell you may ask.... well it crashed into a boggy field and apart from the canopy, not even a bent boom.
any thoughts?

Hi,

sad to see you are having troubles.

My first guess is that during Altitude Limit activation the BEC demand was too high and everything stopped to work

Please perform BEC test first. Then check the flight log for any error.

Hello,
Your loss of control following hard deck is due to a momentary drop in voltage which causes a restart of the Spirit.
To avoid this voltage drop, one of the solutions is to connect a capacitor to a free plug of the Spirit.
Possibly SPEKTRUM SPM1600.
Cordially.
