Description: Perfetc example of the prop wash phenomenon. The take off weight was 416g, the altitude was quite sea level, temperature around 18 C°. You can clearly linsten the engines try to recover the fall running at full speed (by controller) but there were no enough rpm to produce the necessary thrust.. I've tryed to forward to escape that phenomenon but I had no enought space. Maybe 1m more of altutude whould be enough to recover.

Note: This is a raw video (non edited or at least slightly cutted) because my actual intent is to share flight experience over beautiful pleaces and not producing valuable media content. For this reason you can rarely see repentine jumps due to signal loss or sudden maneuvers.

I've been looking for someone with this problem for days. I thought mine was defective. I've been having this happen all the time with mine. I have the new version and bolt on props. Falls like a stone constantly.
