Death of an FPV Easy Star
Loading...
Uploaded by jeffmcclain on Oct 17, 2009
Winds were blowing a steady 30mph, with gusts higher. Was periodically blowing over my camera tripod. I wanted to test out my new Oracle Diversity switch and 8dbi patch antenna. Also, was trying to fit a new 2600mAh lipo in. It didn't fit well. Flew it once before this and the Eagle Tree OSD Pro had come unplugged from the data logger. Got it back around and got it back plugged. But still not fitting well. Wind blowing. I almost bagged it, as I kept thinking nothing good can come of this... The last few frames of video show what caused the final death dive. Camera pod popped out and was laying back near the motor after I panned the camera right.

Jeff, you did an awesome job and having goals is gonna drive you father than you think. I just love flying and I love to get it up there and just sit back and have a peaceful descent. Never ever give up.....Joe Connick

BTW, I have resurrected a new Easy Star and flown many more flights after this. I actually had a great day of flying and broke two of my own goals in the same day: 1) fly over 1 mile AGL, 2) fly over 2 miles away. Great day, and the 30 minute glide back down was so peaceful. Wonderful day. See those videos on here too.

im just getting into fpv, if that happens is possible to turn off the radio and possibly the plane perform a return to home and later put radio on and land with eye view?

@migser85 Yes...sort of. Depending on the OSD you have (I'm using Eagle Tree OSD Pro), there are some limited RTH functions. In my case, the wind was blowing too hard, and the camera popped off sending the plane into a spiraling death dive, so, nothing would have saved it...but there are very good fail safe features if you don't ignore a lot of the warning signs. In this case, I chose to fly in 30+mph winds (not good), and I knew I was having problems...but I rushed it and didn't think.

@mahoro917 Sounds like Braveheart to me could be wrong.
