Mini heli over fire
Mini heli over fire
(OP)
Hello,
I saw a video clip of someone flying a remote control helicopter or quad copter over a fairly big fire and the copter suddenly lost height and fell into the fire.
Why would it do this?
Is it because of the rising air and the copter is also trying to raise itself so it becomes a dead zone?
Thank you

> Hot air is less dense than cold, so whatever lift the UAS had would have decreased
> Could have been some sort of wind shear, resulting in loss of control
> Could have been dead battery
> Could have been some sort of RF interference from the fire https://tacticalrf.com/reports/RF_Propagation_in_F...
> UAS electronics and plastics aren't really rated for more than normal temperatures, so electronics could have failed, plastics could have melted or softened
