079 Have you seen my Drone?

by FliteTest | June 25, 2015 | (8) Posted in Podcasts

Just a true bench flying session with the FTAfterhours crew. Andre Rousseau had a scary fly away with his recently built APM quadcopter. Mike completely loses it when looking at pics of Andre's FT Racer and wonders how it even flys. Thanks for Listening.

Andre, unfortunately, I might know exactly what happened to your flyaway. If you send me the log, i can confirm and get back with you. leslienewhouselsn@gmail.com
No, you don't need to know how I know; My crash makes you look like a great pilot.

Ok, I have to do this, even though it pains me so. Oh, Dear God this hurts! Oh, the pain, the pain!!!

I have to defend Fred and the scheduling last year. No one knew what to expect. Yes, some poor folks got stuck in a location for waaaayyyyyy too long. However, they could/should have called for relief. Everyone I saw approached these things with a positive attitude because Flite Test is a community and we were there for each other. I hope the same atmosphere exists this year!

I hope so as well. We had so much fun last year. Worked hard but still managed to get away and enjoy the event.

With luck this year no one should be over tasked.

Thanks Chris, very good at 56'. I am just 'in recovery' from having crashed 3 favourite planes: Sukhoi 29mm (inverted pass), Acrowot (low speed wingtip stall), and the HK Sbach 1400 epo (AS3x freakout, my setup errors). The Acrowot was the only repairable one. The Sbach remains had to be recovered at 8ft from a thorn bush: wounds. I have satisfied myself that no matter how hard I try I CANNOT roll back time, dammit! But I would still rather crash than fly boring and frightened.

REALLY GOOD PODCAST.

I've been flying with Freerider for 4 weeks and became super excited when you guys started talking about it. It's an amazing simulator.
