Did you hear the crash alarm?
That's pretty cool.
There was no "apparent" damage from the crash but a few flights later,one of the props that stayed on split at the hub and flew off.
That broke the landing gear and one boom.
No biggie.
This thing flies great.

Ern, I've never heard of this thing. Looks really cool! Where did you pick it up at? I'm waiting on the funds for the GPS and electronic compass. It has a barometer altimeter and GPS so it will hold it's position and altitude within 12 inches or so indefinitely(battery limits). It also has "Return Home" function. If you turn it on and release the sticks for two seconds,it will return to the spot it took off from and hover or land if you set the waypoint on the ground. I'm putting it together for FPV flying. |

I'd take that to the beach. Hang a sign underneath the camera that says "Show them to me!" See what happens.  |
