[QUOTE="Sparkbart, post: 13180, member: 652"] Experienced Kp interference. Many years ago flying a Yuneec Q500. Everything was going great. Was flying fast and at about 12' when it started losing altitude. Giving it more throttle and trying to slow it down, it didn't respond, it got to within about 2' off the grass and it regained altitude. There were also some other minor things I can't recall now, but I packed it up for the day. Later I talked to a friend who also had a Q500 and flew at the exact same spot but a little later in the day and had connectivity and control issues. He mentioned he checked the Kp Index and it was high. Checking Kp Index is now part of my pre-flight checklist.... [/QUOTE]
