Lost Z11 - Somerset

[Flyn]

If you don't find it pm me, I've got a spare one I can sort you out with, it ain't too pretty but with the addition of a motor mount & correx hatches it'll be just fine ;)

Flynn that's most generous of you and thank you.  I do hope that it won't come to that though and in time it will turn up...

I am just hoping it will be localish and someone does report it to the Police, I need to put a similar notice on the Police website as don't think a call to the Police control room will get it on the records and yes, lesson learnt.....

Before committing any future aircraft to the air my numbers going on her and my BMFA Membership number.

I hope so too... Was out this morning at OMG o'clock and again this evening with the quad for some high level scanning of the area... Nothing.  I've got a list of farmers addresses in the local area I am going to go see too as well as some notices. I may even think about putting a ditty in the local paper and see if that turns up anything..

Fingers crossed

Did you plug both lipos in as this is the prime cause of what you've described, I know personally 2 people who have done just that & have flown with just one lipo powering the plane, one person lost then found their plane & the other just managed to get it into land LOS dead stick.

(?)  (?)  (?)

I've done that twice now too... But after nearly losing my plane because I used some batteries that weren't fully charged I now watch my voltage (not just my consumed current) like a hawk! If it dips under 11v early I know there is a problem.

Still no news then?  :(

Hi, sorry to hear about your lost aircraft, I hope you do get it back soon.
Do you think it could have been a UBEC failure?
Some ESC's shut down on loss of PPM signal some don't.

Still no news and unfortunately can't explain what happened as no means to investigate it other than to speculate.   It wouldn't have been PPM as was flying on 35Megs and therefore PCM 1024. 

I've been up on the area overflying potential crash sites with my Quad and to date nothing's come close for further investigation. It's the big waiting game which may be in vain.  I've not lost the passion for the hobby which is the main thing.

Gotta keep smiling :-)

Good luck and no, dont panic, I've heard really very many good things about the fyDos... Just make sure you read the fail safe section properly to make it default to RTH.   You'll be fine...

I think that this quote is very apt...it's definitely how I feel.  Fortunately I've got the Quad to help keep me returning to the skies to eyeball the world beneath!

Hi Guys, many thanks for all the offers of help to find my Zed but I think it's in vain... I've scoured the lands around and have come up nought! The issue being knowing where to look. She could be anywhere and is as likely on the moon as in the next field on.

I have resigned myself to her complete loss and will start making up the kit to replace her.

The bug is still there fortunately.

When you loose 3 or 4 it gets a bit easier to bear

Going to start a new thread to discuss, see if anyone's got one out there but looks interesting, wifi and built in LCD as standard.

and putting your name and contact details on it - and if you really don't want to loose it, a tracker!


Still gutted that this isn't a success story  :-[
