Looks like great fun , good job, I’m not brave enough to power loop either, I had a little bit of fun at work myself today, if I could figure out how and where to upload the video I would put it on
Ah yes, I had been keeping a little quiet about that. Erm… sod it, why not
I heard fireworks going off last Friday so I thought, sod it, got a pack I haven’t discharged for storage yet, let’s have a quick blitz from the drive…
Got some meh clips of the fireworks, went to come back and land and realised
a) the drone wasn’t where I (or the observer /cough) thought it was
b) it was too dark to work out where it was
c) there were a lot of trees around I didn’t want to land in
So I found a patch that I couldn’t see any trees in, started coming down at what I thought was a slow pace, and plonk, bounced off the road and ejected the battery. Doh!
Ran 25m round the corner just in time to see a car approaching and hear the crunch as it run over the poor thing.
Got very lucky, it broke some plastic casings on the edge and grazed some props, but nothing a 1 week $5 replacement part can’t fix. Was still showing as ok in goggles so popping out shortly to see if it’ll still fly
You should try it with a 75mm whoop after 2 (big) bottles of Leffe, (in your back garden). It’s an interesting experience. Flying when you can’t see bugger all. I went a bit mad and flew out of my garden and looked down and it was like nothing except one light. Never did it again after that. Some cameras are apparently better than others. The caddx ant nano isn’t one of them.
