Holy shit thatās like a scene out if Top Gun! Whoās Maverick and whoās Goose?
No where near as spectacular as you guys but I did almost take my own head off today (being a little over dramatic)
Thatās nearly an entry into the colour theme challenge. I.e. Red!
I know mate it was closer than I first thought. Hit the kill switch by mistake Mrs couldnāt stop pissing herself
The fuckā¦?!
You had that ENTIRE field to land inā¦ but nooooā¦
I know right!!.. lol I was actually trying to switch modes but hit the wrong switch
Do I get a āPlonkerā badge for that?
Yes.
You do.
I was stationary as I was just hovering there minding my own business because my DVR wasnāt recording so I took my hand off the sticks to press record on my DVR and boom Karl comes out of nowhere!
Thanks Rich itās a prestigious award that one
Now we know whoās Maverick buzzing the tower
My son doing a bit of low flyingā¦lost control after skimming a clump of grass ( we think the signal was blocked as he was in a dip in the ground, though video stayed up - clip recorded on the goggles ). Impact repeated in slomo
Oh yeah, that old chestnut ehā¦?
FPV lawnmower??
Hope thereās no serious damage
Just a loosened prop
Thatās a relief, lives to fly another day
A motor wire was pulled off my esc whilst attempting to cut through some shrubbery. Thank you @DeanoG60 for letting me use your soldering iron
No problemo buddy, glad you got back in the air
So i have been flying DJI drones for around 3 years with 4 different drones. And now my 5th is the DJI FPVā¦ Not one crash in 400+ flights until my 3rd flight with this beastā¦ Decided to stop in mid run to return to home due to battery depletion and rise up to 60m to returnā¦ Luckily only 2 props busted.

Looks like you were having fun. The camera picture held well with the bad props
@notveryprettyboy Yeah man, i was surprised it didnt hit the ground either and was able to fly back to HOME point. But the props have 3 tears in them. So will just swap them out to be safe. Plus Ā£15 spent on new ones
