I could've sworn the tree jumped out in front of my quad. my first flight I almost took the power to a church and ended up in a storm run off with no battery, and 3 arms on a quad. • Posts: 1,070 Threads: 70 Likes Received: 742 in 378 posts Likes Given: 577 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 44 11-Jul-2016, 08:52 PM (This post was last modified: 11-Jul-2016, 08:53 PM by KonradS.)

Did I see quad from the camera in there bigglesFPV ? Gremlins always win, no question, thanks for moving the thread too The Lipo ejected itself during the death roll, The HD cam off. I did narrow it down to what caused the crash.. I had a set of 5040 Triples on it from a mate (who said he hasn't used them for a year or so). so after retrieving the quad I tried to find out what went wrong. So I put a second set of props on it (same batch my mate gave me). strapped the quad down to my bench and went 3/4 to full throttle for about 2 minutes and all of a sudden 2 of the props exploded. After a change of underwear I figured the props were somehow old, perhaps brittle and just could not handle the forces. Oh, I was standing well back and wearing a full face shield while testing. The quad has since been flying great with new props. And no problem moving the thread. • Posts: 9 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 2 in 2 posts Likes Given: 2 Joined: Feb 2016 Reputation: 0 13-Jul-2016, 05:24 PM I have had a lot worse but this one was just silly, those dang ninja branches.
