I think it would be better if we did it like in the old days on HCS with SleddyEddy and we all just send a part or 2 and let John build it. Maybe then he would appreciate it and not crash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full battery but that doesn't mean anything. 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. Could have lost a blade in flight.....takes a drone down quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many drones will return on a loss of communication. Mine stops, waits a short time, climbs to the height I preset and heads back to the takeoff point and lands itself. Same as if it runs low on power based on distance from takeoff. Something shit the bed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever figure out what happened..?..I know my brand has a history of battery disconnect, if you're not real careful locking battery in place. Pretty cool drone filming here and crazy stunt too........

I have a buddy out west that does some amazing stuff with drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
