Last moments of a dead Phantom.

Managed to get a couple of flypasts with my phone (this did not cause the crash by the way).

 Well it did look good for those fly bys  :)

I will get another.

In both of those videos I was at 25% throttle.

Still. At least I now have a receiver for my Mini Talon. Every cloud has a silver lining  ;)

haha, I'm currently eyeing up my SkyRay and thinking how much of a shame it would be if that crashed and had to donate it's organs to help my Mini Talon build along lol

My Mini Talon is getting there now.

Just waiting for motor and ESC from Hobbyking. Should be here Monday.

My dead Phantom gave up its EZUHF RX to the cause.

Well it did look nice for a while, and a bit close too! :)

[markwilliams]

I must admit it was closer that I thought.

For the 15 minutes or so I had it in the air it was a great flyer.

Bring on the Talon.

Mark.

Vector GPS is goosed :(

The antenna has detached from the board. Way beyond my capabilities.

That's who I use.

Ordered a new GPS half an hour ago.

Should be here in time to complete my Mini Talon build.
