ckf Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 It dropped from about 175' agl. We were able to retrieve it and it appears as though it just damaged the props. I am downloading the files now. I was recording video when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I supposed to get them to come up with another $2000? 25 minutes ago, ViperGTS/Z1 said: Haven't flown mine in years.....sounds like a battery problem Full battery but that doesn't mean anything. 19 minutes ago, 1jkw said: Probably the fuck stick controller. 16 minutes ago, Carlos Danger said: Pilot error. I just got a new fangled radio so I will be crashing some planes soon. I was up 175' agl heading in a straight line toward the pond which is even lower. It could have been a bird attack? I've heard about eagles taking down drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time was when Rob was still alive so it was a while ago. That one showed a voltage spike before it dropped when I had someone go through the logs. It was also a cold winter day.
