I have no problem with taking off with rc2 , maybe you first Anafi is seeing winter cumming back and dont want to pass another one in a tree
Again due to high winds I have not been able to test mine, and always reluctant to attempt indoor flight. But will see if I can do something this evening when I get home, just to see whether this issue with the take-off is consistent or random.
Either way, no matter what Parrot say, its their responsibility given that they released this from their very own website...…. But I have no doubt they will be already on it.

and at the time of composing this reply the inhouse.apk is still available from the Google Play Button on the Parrot website...
Here is a short video of the bunny hop that it is now doing since taking Software Version 1.6.1-rc2
My video and what others have posted on Parrots Facebook page are identical. Each one shows it trying to take off and stopping. Sometimes they will start up but will only hover inches from the ground with no control. You have to stop the props with your foot. Each time this has happened I would check the log and it does not show a crash, just a very short flight. Dam weird bug in this firmware version.
Not all are having this problem so this might be a tough one to fix for Parrot

Tried that still did nothing. I also deleted the play store app and put back the APK from the web page thinking the firmware was tied to the App but I got the same bunny hop.
Looking at the .Json file for that flight it shows a emergency flying state when the motors stop.
curiosity got the better of me regarding this anomaly of some users of their Anafi with 1.6.1.-rc2 firmware not being able to take off from a ground launch.....I had to try it out indoors (not a good idea I know.....) , I tried twice for take off and I had no hassles at all... well my little staffie dog did.... she ran out of the room and in to the kitchen.... must have frighted the crap out of her...staffies are wusses....LOL
I was tempted to try indoors as its now raining and very windy down here in Darlington, however my 40Kg Chocolate Labrador would see it as a bird......... and she hates birds with a passion...... the outcome would not be pretty for either
I have only managed the one flight with the RC firmware and it worked and no problem with dodgy frames at the start of the video files.
It would seem that Parrot need to learn about software version control.

If you click "Presets", then there are also all options are locked.
This error is not present if your phone is not connected to the drone!
already done 4 tickets to the parrot and do not even respond to the phone, already commented on playstore, I invite you all of this forum to report the firmware problem on the play store, maybe they wake up, thank you very much
I would have thought that if you downloaded the latest freeflight 6 app then it would update the firmware, can't understand why the drone has such an old firmware version installed, if it's new and you are unable to update it then I would be on the phone to Parrort!!!
Yeah got it yesterday. when I first connected it, it updated and the beta version was installed. No idea why

My staffie is such a sook. I won't lie, she could easily kill a child, but so can a plastic bag. Staffies are hands down the best. My girl doesn't mind it, she's not even that interested in it but the sausage dog and Labrador go nuts over it!
