Funny High Speed RC FPV Helicopter Crash Accident Fail Failure Heli Chopper Plane Air Onboard Camera

Third FPV helicopter flight.

Damn! The 164 Euro RC receiver (Graupner/JR SMC-19 DS) got some problems (Fail Safe) at 300m distance.......
No electronics damaged, crash costs only approx. 70 Euro (39 Euro Hyperion carbon fiber blades and the usual stuff: shaft, servo gear, flybar,......)
I was lucky that it has rained the day before, very soft earth!
The camera/ transmitter did not get damaged at the crash (except earth on the camera lens), only the power plug got disconnected
A tail strike at the landing would be much worse :-D

[bowlingwithzombies]

i bet u were like, omg i am gunna die!!! den u realized oh, i am wearing fpv tingy.:)

[muni86]

@bowlingwithzombies yes 100% true

most scaring was the fact that I knew 3 sec. before the crash that "I'm going to die" ;-)

I have tried to raise the transmitter antenna for better reception but it was God's wish lol

We all have our share of accidents. I got my math wrong with an onboard rocket cam one day:

@BosnianTechBoy This is f....king true? :D

[QeXeQ]

Only 300 mts ??

[BosnianTechBoy]

i am curently working on a project kinda like this but my helicopter is beaing controled by wifi internet over my computer and then its is linked to my Kelowna Ogopogo radio and also the fpv is being transmited over wifi internet. how you might say i put a Verizon MiFi 2200 Mobile Wireless HotSpot Wifi Modem so that means i can fly my helocopter 1,000,000miles from my house and spy on Area 51 thums up this so other people can see this!!!

[mustaffahh]

Was enjoying the view. What happened ? How far were you when the heli crashed ?

[deathbef]

@muni86 Hehe, like a dream without happy end ;-) Crashing heli is not nice, but it looks little bit funny with black screen of death at the end ;-)
