Description
The UA was being operated commercially to capture footage of residential properties when, from a height of about 100 m, it suddenly entered a rapid spin which the pilot could not control, and it fell into the garden of a property.
Reported Cause
The remote pilot considered that the accident occurred because of a failure of either a motor, or a motor support arm.
