This was the first Skywalker plane. Had 3 flights that day, the last I wanted to test a GPS tracker that I was working on... not a good idea to tape it just above the receiver. #2 is in the works.

i would think you could still get the footage off that SD card...wouldn't be a total loss if you had video of the crash from the camera's perspective.

When the Go-Pro losses power it does not have time to save the file. the file was there...but you can not play it. there was a long discussion over at RC Groups about it, also at the Go-Pro web site.

Thanks for the heads up!!! I was about to do the same with my Skywalker!

Oh, WOW! Was that the EPO version? I've never seen one destroyed like that. I've had one for about 3 months now and been struggling to find a motor setup that I like. I'm really going for maximum duration over speed. Any flight times or motor data you could give would be helpful.

Wow. Complete carnage.

[Flight1142]

What happened?

If u fly FPV with the gopro do u need a wireless transmitter that enable u to watch in HD?
