FPV Quadcopter Crash

[JAB1a]

Hi All,

Finally I get to post in the FPV section again  :) I've been waiting for my Sony PZ0420 to arrive so I've only been making LOS video's.....its good to be back  :D

This flight was in conditions when you know you should really fly but you just can't resist and its such a beautiful spot anyway with a great vantage point. The crash was down to me not giving enough throttle after I turn to go with the wind...

Nice bit of low level flying, good to watch it.

What a perfect location for flying, where about's is it in the UK ?

Nice site! Could have been a lot worse if you were a tad closer to that stream.

[JAB1a]

Thanks both  :D

@PK its a valley near Tavistock, Devon. My friends parents live out that way so I have past it a few times. The wind does howl down the valley hence why I managed to get such speed.

@Randall that would of been bad, but even worse would of been if it landed the other side of the stream, that would of sucked  ;)

That was some cool low level stuff, and over water, brave man :)

Enjoyed the vid - great music to go with it too. Fantastic flying spot and some nice speed/low passes. I like the over-water shots.  :)

Pity about the crash but adds to the excitement - looked like a leg burner climb back up the hill though.  :D

Great vid mate, nice mix of interesting landscape & low level action.

Cheers all :)

@Dizzy it was so much fun that even I was swaying about while flying this, I was banking into the corners and everything which can be akward when you cant see the horizon yourself (because of goggles). I keep saying it but we must all sort out a get together this year for the Devon/Cornwall.

@Oatcake I did have footage of me waddling down the hill as the flight camera was facing where I was standing when it crashed but it was too long and depressing to watch, even when speeded up lol.

The FPV camera pod came off the quad in the crash and I was left looking at my quad on the ground, very surreal.

Great flight - those power lines at around 2.10 could catch out the unwary!!

Well done!!
