Question.

Why did you go back and try to do it again?

Tiny Hawk crash. I think I was just too lazy to get out of the way :man_shrugging:
I broke the fc mounts, so printing some more now.

and hereā€™s what @notveryprettyboy and @DeanoG60 and have been waiting for me to put up, one of my many crash videos. Itā€™s strange that when I count the number of craft I launch and count the number I land, the numbers never match :thinking:

Note the speed at which it hits the hedge, resulting in a major repair job.
Lesson of this episode ? iNav Cruise is not the same as ArduPilot Cruise :laughing: :laughing:

Crap Pilot :slightly_frowning_face:
Stick control in iNav ā€˜cruise + altholdā€™ mode is much reduced. For where I was in the sky I should have been in Angle or Acro mode so I could have pulled up rapidly.

Thatā€™s more distraction than target fixation.

Weā€™ve managed various meet ups with 10+ drones in the sky at any one time.

Zero incidents.

You two hooligans rock up andā€¦ :rofl:

The difference here perhaps being if two DJI drones collided midair, theyā€™d both probably fall to the ground and be totalled.

Iā€™m guessing these two drones just carried on without missing a beat? :bowing_man:t2:

Iā€™ll be honest and say I headed straight for him. But yeah, we just carried on. Dean got a bit of a scuff on an antenna though. Pretty sure his clean ocd is fuming now :grin:
