I dont know if anyone on here is local, but lost my plane in the dalton barrow area, has a gp3 on it.
maybe if anyone see's it for sale or equipment wise
doh, unlucky mate hope you get it back :(
Mate, that sucks ass!! I'm sorry you lost it, what happened?!?
spent the day shedding weight, took it out way too late without screen or tracker. took it to a good height to trim it up and lost sight, rtl didnt work ...
my own fault
it has my business details on so hopefully there might be an honest person :P we live in hope
Gutted ! Do you know roughly the likely landing spot ? Im sure some local members would be more than happy to overfly nd review footage, Im down south im afraid so a bit of a trek but worth a shot
Man that's rough, did you run about with the directional antenna on a VRX to see if you could pick up any video?

as far as i know im alone up here lol.
No flyn i had the vtx unplugged as i was just test flying, first time i unplugged it too, i normally leave it plugged in.
its been one of those weeks, with turbo on car blowing amongst other stuff lol.
tbh im just hoping its come down in one of the many fields around here with hurting or damage to anyone or thing
Feel for ya matey, sounds like a bad week! I'm sure some kind sole will find it for you & give you a call.
its fine m8, im more concerned for any 3rd party damage, shed aload of weight but still 2.8kilo's
I'm sure it'll be ok, will keep 'em crossed for you.
2.8kg of plane? Jesus what was it? :D
Sorry to read of your loss Mali, hope it turns up soon.

Maybe it should read 15mw :P

lost rc plane (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzoY4nq6opY#ws)
flying waypoints after sorting cg, it was short of waypoint 1 by a mile and lost altitude for some reason, it should have been 500ft
Wow, what a video...
I don't fly that well when I'm under control. You were lucky when the plane flew so close to houses though! Love the bit when the sheep ran away as the plane passed low over them.
Thanks for sharing.
Trevor
Bloody hell that was fantastic!!!
How lucky? About 5 feet off the ground at some points, skimming houses, between trees,between lamp posts, just over treetops....
Thanks for posting :D
Holy Moly that was close. How did it end? Or did the GoPro not record the crash?
Do you have any idea why it went nuts?
not sure the gopro just stopped recording, im thinking it went out of range( how i dont know, its suppoed to be 20-40k and ive done many 15 mile + ) its the return to home height i need to investigate

this is still proccessing, but you can here the motor glitching or something
Go pros buffer the video before writing to the card. It's very common with hard impacts for the last section of video not to make it to the card. Shame.
At least you have an idea of maybe why, could of ended a lot worse!
