I was messing around in the menus of my Scout this weekend, and saw Auto Power Off, which was disabled. I thought, well, if I accidentally leave them on I would like them to shut off before killing the battery. Well, that was a bad idea. While flying yesterday morning, on my second pack, they started beeping, which I hadn't heard before. The beeping rate began getting faster and faster, then all of a sudden, blackness! I had a general idea where I was when I lost signal. I freaked out and punched up briefly, then thought I should switch to Horizon mode, but by the time I figured out what to do, it was too late. The drone went in rear first and upside down. The receiver separated from it's antennas, (luckily they are detachable), pulled a motor wire loose and packed one motor full of dirt. That's the only damage I have found so far. Hopefully that's all I have to deal with.
Hopefully others can learn from my mistakes!
