Sorry to see this. It was a beautiful bird (see below). It used the AttoPilot autopilot.
From the team's Twitter feed:
We had an RC Lockout in Maunal Mode at 25M AGL while coming into land on Saturday. More photos on the website soon :(

I was just being cheeky :)
Chris, it shows that you clicked on "Like" the blog post. I guess it looks like you "like" the UAV crash. I'm sure that's not the intent.
Scott: ??
Hey Chris,
How come you liked this? :)
Thats bad...
I will do what ever I can to ship a new X8 frame to you. The only problem is I only have the EPS foam version and thats just not good enough without glass fibre reinforcement. The EPO version of the X8 will be ready within one month, but I guess thats too late.
Regards
Ouch...........

Sorry about the bad luck, Glue it back together and try again, Manta it has some more life still!
Unfortunately 433 is a no go in Australia. :(
Sorry to head about the crash. Lockout's on the old 35-72mhz PCM/PPM systems was sadly just a part of the game, and I think the reason why 2.4ghz took over in a flash. Is it possible to use 433mhz in the competition? With the popularity of FPV, of the shelf R/C 433mhz diversity systems are available.
