[QUOTE="GeoM1, post: 100608, member: 15667"] Oh I’ve had my mishaps. Always by being careless. But they were minor lawnmower blazes through prairie grass snd such. The video is from the Columbia River Gorge. I couldn’t get GPS. I have flown often, and successfully without it. But in THE GORGE!! I felt a breeze on launch ? but it clearly was a wind farther from me. I could not bring M1 in so... M1 crashed but look how beautifully it landed, hanging in a tree! I searched but could not find M1. I could still see the live video on my phone, as battery life declined. So I attempted to power up motors to make it fall, from ? height. M1 shook but responded that the motors were obstructed. But M1 shook so I tried a few more times, and then heard faint whirs. Again, faint whirs! That was M1 spinning a motor. I followed the sound, then saw lights flashing. M1 was about 4 feet off the ground. Retrieved! I’ll wait for satellites from now on... and remember to switch to sport mode! if power is needed!
