ckf Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Still trying to figure it out from the flight logs. I think it may have been a battery failure. I was at 227' so I was well above any trees. I just lost connection at the red X. I had a clear line of sight so signal should have been strong. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momorider Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Think the battery connector could vibrate loose you are now considered a high risk flyer so I would think insurance premiums would be outlandish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The races I have been to have drones over the track I wonder how long before one drops out of the air and a driver wacks one at 100 mph.
