So i was at an FPV meet today and i had a little incident..
My phantom had just completed a long and very high flight. i was almost home, when all of a sudden it just rolls and goes straight down... ended up finding it in someones backyard tree.
After watching the video and LISTENING TO THE AUDIO, it was not a failsafe or autpilot error at all... My power connection someone disconnected and reconnected. You can here the esc resetting itself and beeping. During this time, it rolled over into a straight down dive.
The only thing that saved the plane from total distruction was that i held full back stick on the Transmitter. The plane initialized and powered back up about 10 feet from the roof of a house, went from straight down to about a 90 degree angle, then had a wing sheared off by a powerline and landed in a tree branch right next to it.
ill post some video later
damgage.. just one wingtip got sheared off. Will fix it with some gorilla glue. I got EXTREMELY lucky with this crash, it should have been a total loss (dove down from 500 feet)
Here is the video of the crash, with a step by step analysis and then some cool slomo etc etc... enjoy(;
