Hello,I recently wanted to test a 100w Led on my Octocopter and i was on my way home with my drone in the trunk. I stopped at a random field at 11pm, it was pitch black. Amazed by the Led I send a simple mission to the drone over Tower and at waypoimt 4 I heard a strange noise and saw a lighting. It was stuck in the electrical tower and taranis RSSi was immediately 0 but Tower was still connected!I could't do anything... So I waited 3 days full of very heavy raining until i finally got it back, it did cost me 1000€...BUT Pixhawk and everything survived and works at first sight! Only the battery (4s 16000mah) is flat at 0v.It was extremely stupod to fltly at a field I did not know at NIGHT but i learned a lesson!So Pixhawk can take some high voltages! ;-)

Wow!!! what's depressed, It's remember me when I landed my first plane on a tree, 25 mts high, I have to wait five days, before try many things to come back, the wind do the work, and rain the following day, only the battery ruined.
