Holy Stone HS190 flys up out of control

[Dhiraj]

Hi all,

As soon as I press the fly up button, the quadcopter drone starts going up and won't come back down! The controller buttons don't seem to work anymore

Every time, it begins to fly up, hits my room's ceiling and comes down crashing.

This was fine for the past 2 months, but is acting up this past week or so.

What height is the take off/landing set at?

You say your ceiling, well it is possible that the return home height is set to a height higher then your ceiling, try and turn it on and fly it outside.

I am pretty sure that would be the issue, you can change the setting by connecting your smartphone/I-Phone to the drones wifi, there should be an app to download also.

Hi Stu, thanks for your feedback. But, are you talking about the Holy Stone HS190 the $30 one in Target, etc?

I don't see an option to set the "return home height" and I don't see a phone app either in the AppStore?!

Worth a try.

Jackson, yes, I have tried that already, doesn't seem to help
And I couldn't post a link because I am fairly new.

Stu, Jackson, any other ideas?

Probably bust from hitting the ceiling so many times.
You should be able to post pics & links after 3 posts.

A speculation from a newbie...…
Any chance this problem started after you changed/replaced a set of propellers ?
There is specific way to install/replace propellers.
