Great to see one in action- - feel for the guy crashing - DJI refresh ??
I really wished I’d never have to add to this thread
. I received a notification about an update for my Mini 2, so I completed it and went to take a look at my new roof. However, when I was about 20 feet up, things went wrong
. The drone announced “maximum altitude reached” and went into Return to Home mode, even though the maximum altitude and the RTH height were set at 180.4ft, It ended up colliding with my fence, clipped some ivy, and crash-landed into a pile of building debris
. I’ve already contacted DJI and am sending the drone back to them. Fingers crossed it will be back in time for the big meet
.
Impromptue crash test with the X-Class yesterday…
Towards the end of the last pack - bit offline and ended up too low and clipping a gate ![]()
On the plus side I am quite happy with the tune now ![]()
Amazingly, it looks like the tally is only 2 props and an arm tube (standard 20mm carbon tube from amazon - replacement on the way
)
Should be a 5mn job to put it back together ![]()
The gate however will need a new banner ![]()
A bit of gaffer tape and everyone will be none the wiser ![]()
Silly crash (aren’t they all?) at Pembrey Nature Park, UK. Canopy got loose and I have now replaced the frame. CF frame support is on order… ![]()
Crashed and broke me, Darkstar20
The only frame in the UK is Pink
Oh well, it will go with the tutu at the BM ![]()
I seem to recall another Pink item at a previous BM!!
What happens at the BM stays at the BM!!! ![]()
Forgot how funny ![]()

Another Maiden another entry.
Before …
After …
Thanks to wingman @ORB_FPV view of how shite the piloting was in the maiden.
We had a very productive day last week end:
Many thanks for a loyal copilot that enabled me to expose the vicious grounds, pityless trees and unpleasant leaves catching our innocent drones.
At the end bit, were you thinking “Aargh, not the face!”
honestly, I thought I (we actually) was (were) getting it / hit!
that…was…painful…
If that was painful, how would you describe the attempt from this tosser[*] ?
[*] - noun someone who throws lightly (as with the palm upward)
That went well ![]()
guilty silence
