Oh my Goodness!!!!
What happened, if it's not too daft a question.
Literally a smoking hole in the ground.
Flying low and far away, lost video because of some trees and didn't hit rth in time.
Video to follow

Also took apart the gopro..... the internals are all burnt... oh well :P
Ha, love the graphic.
Thought they would be, amazed the SD card survived, but as always the impact was lost in the cameras buffer.
Got the logs from Ruby, last recorded speed was 60mph, bit slow for me!

Blaze of glory indeed!
Thanks, always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory!
If only they did scratch and sniff videos, it stunk!
If it was iPeel crashing into you mid-air and causing the crash, just give us a secret signal or something.

You must be made of money :laugh:
Was Neil wearing his health and safety hat like he does with the jet? And was the fire extinguisher to hand? If not I feel you only have yourselves to blame! Lol

No we neglected our H&S duties. But I was also missing a key antenna tracking component!
Luckily it was out by the time we got there, but the heat was intense still. The GP battery was really hot, but hadn't yet exploded
Was that a subtle dig and an attempt at apportioning blame? Lol

Totally your fault Chris. If you were there we wouldn't have had as much beer to drink each and therefore we wouldn't have been so stupid.
Lol, so the drinking took place preflight?

It looked like a really nice flight up until the BBQ 88) Appeared that it went in very hard, sucks to lose a whole planes worth of gear too....
Can't believe how low you fly at distance!
I wish I had learned how to use my mobile phone camera, us walking right up to those cows as they were all staring at us was golden.
Here's my view of events:

It's great there, a high launch point with points of interest dotted around.

Yes you do! Cows are bigger than you think in real life!
That's your best landing ever, I remember watching you on approach think, is he doing a low pass?
When I saw the white smoke, I thought there's a new Pope :D
Shiny new kit ready for ya
