I like my 350 QX and fly it a lot. This past week I have had two crashes that where very similar, so I thought I`d let others know what to look out for. Both Days where beautiful, sunny and in the 80s. Very little wind, maybe 5mph at its best. I had a good GPS lock when I started out and every thing seemed great. I had been flying for about 5 minutes the first time and about 30 seconds the second time this happened. It was at to different locations too. The first the quad was about 10 feet up and flying slowly, I was attempting to land on my Hearse, next to my Metal shop. When the Quad was within 10 t0 8 feet of the shop it banked hard and slammed into the shop. Like a magnet had all a once drawn it in. I had no time to react. The sun was shining on this side of the shop. I mention this because I had flown closer to the other side of the shop earlier with no problem.
The second crash , again the sun was beating down on the side of this guys shop and when the Quad was within 10 feet it did the same thing Like a magnet had all at once grabbed it and pulled it with a lot of force into the metal building. Un real, in both , I was lucky after a complete inspection. I had only minor scratches, the camera went flying, I use a Mobius, no damage. I put it back in the air and it flew great as always. SO stay away from metal buildings, when the sun is beating on them. I don't get it do you?
