Paul Gleeson Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 In this case, I hope that things don’t come in 3’s RSSI low in a certain orientation? Did the failsafe kick in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTR Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Sorry to hear that Mike. Had a similar incident at Euroglide; Trimming my F5J Xplorer on the Friday evening and it nosed in under full power Started fine, powered to about 100M and crused around while tweaking settings. When it got down to about 20M, turned on the power again to climb. Instead, it went into a shallow dive under power. Full up did nothing. Hit the deck with significant damage. No low RSSI or other telem report, just no control. Repair/replacement parts cost more than a top DLG! Maybe that’s a lesson about the attraction of DLGs.

Paul Gleeson Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Finally the repairs are done. Waiting for some cooler and less windy days to re-maiden. Put on a bit of weight, but I did convert it to top drive with some 10g servos, so needed a bit more nose weight, along with the repairs. All a good learning experience. Mike how is your Revolution and NXT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
