The never ending "I crashed my drone thread" šŸ”„

1st claim, was a repair request paid £105.

2nd & 3rd claims, Refresh Express paid £39.

So I assume I have 1 more to go, then I can renew it for 12 months, when this one expires in May 2026.

I might even have 2, because thr 1st one was a repair

a fun close call I had with the Tindalos FPV quad last sunday:

When you think about it and when you fly quads, you know that this is actually a GREAT victory against the ENTs… they try and succeed too often in catching our quads!

Ha - mine had a very simple short circuit after impact.
If I can get the ESC I think it will need replacing.

Saved by the tree haha - that has to be a first as in the words of the great Ken Heron - Tree’s are D!cks! haha

Loads of fun yesterday practicing with gates - loads of crashes but only props damage (11 of them in the bin :smiley: ) - testament to the durability of the Crooked 5 frame ( Fox 5" Crooked )
