Woooooow. ..very close call for a 20000 rs damage and not to mention someone getting hurt with a 1KG bomb bropping from a hight of 40-50 meters...But very very lucky ....
This evening I took MY 360 quad for an areal photography near a swimming pool and a park...
never thought that at the end of MY day .. MY shirt was going to be all wet ...
Very usual day I connected MY quad ..2.4 ghz radio 5.8 ghz fpv with osd everything was perfect .... I started flying but I soon as I get 50 meters away I felt that signal is lost Right above the swimming pool ..took few seconds to realize that yes I did lost MY connection with quad ... whole flight was about 3-4 minutes of which hardly 20-30 seconds was controlled by me rest of the time quad flew all by itself ... it was very terrifing experice for me specially never had this kind of experience with quad
When I first noticed signal loss I was about 40-50 meter in hight within 100 meter radius after that quad. Climbed to a maximum hight of 130 meter and slowly going away from me coz of the wind It was flying behind me above trees ...I was completely helpless I could do nothing but watch the video received ON MY goggles ... after 130 meters it started lossing hight At this point I took off MY goggles to see were the quad is actually flying I was Just a dot in the Sky .. then again I put MY goggles back On meanwhile out of fear I Pushed throtle stick Up and all the way down 2-3 times nothing seemed to be working at a hight of 40-50 meters it dropped suddenly to ground at the same time loss video Free too ...
Now what I was in panic mode
The kids who were playing nearby told me that it fell down in that direction .. .. and thank god ON the way down it fell ON a tree and got stuck ON the last branch of the tree not to far from ground ... and lucky me no damage done to frame Just a video Line was broken between Camera and video tx ...
All other things are ok
My guess of the causes
1 while binding the receiver I power ON received first then the transmitter which has a 2 watt booster ON it (is there a received binding sequence) I don't know let me know
2 MY receiver antenna is shorter then regular because of few crashes I had but again with same receiver I did half KM flight too I fly with flysky th9x
3 when I found the quad recever antenna was broken I don't know if it cut off during flight coz of propeller or because of crash ON a tere
4. I do use failsafe I set theottle failsafe to 30% but MY guess is it kikcked in the very last 15-20 sec of the flight don't know why and how and before that it Just climbed Up regardless of the stick position or failsafe settings
please leave your suggestions ....
I am glad that nobody got hurt and also quad is safe
Going to replace the receiver antenna immediatly.
