I had a prop randomly snap in two mid flight.. I imagine its the one I caught on a log while FPV'ing in the woods a week or so back :D
I'm pretty damn impressed with the fact that the Naza seemed to handle it and the Quad landed up-right!
NAZA w/GPS equip DJI F450 - Standard prop failure and impressive landing by Naza. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edhino40Gm4#ws)
Which prop was it 1045,1038,8045?
8045 (8x4.5).
I wonder if half the prop had enough thrust to keep the thing upright instead of tumbling out the air? I thought a a 3 motor quad is an out of control spinning death machine.
I'd imagine it was still creating some lift also I think the new firmware must be clever enough to know that if one motor is flat out (the one with the broken prop) and its still rolling/pitching towards that arm then it needs to slow the other motors..
Amazed it cam down so gently.
Will it be ready for Saturday more importantly ?
Yeah I've got another spare set of props :)
Clarky should be maidening his wing on Saturday too!
Nope 3s..
Cool gunna say i gave a spare set of graupners if you needed to borrow.
But they 10inch not 8's
I'm stuck with 8's now so it fits in my case :D thanks though :)
Impressive it came down upright. Ive had a prop snap in flight but from pulling too many death dives and loops one ofter the other lol. that quad had a kk board and it had no chance of coming down safely with half a prop. And bent up two arms and bust the frame plates.
If I run 10'a it won't fit in my case
Have to say the 1038's seem a lot tougher that the old 10's i do wonder if the graupners are stronger ? However i dont like the way they cut my flight times down
