100KM

Twinstar fpv lost and found by girls.

Ever wondered what happens to your lost drone or plane while you are searching for it ?

Had to make an emergency landing with my fpv twinstar because it lost a propeller.  While I was searching for it, 2 girls found the plane, and their conversation was recorded by the still operational HD camera.  I was quite amazed by their technical insight and conclusions !

Enjoy !

  • @johnkowalsky  Ok, you're a pervert. :-)

  • Looks like Europe might soon be dealing with pink Hello Kitty drones when the Girls start to take an interest !

     

    Bring it on..........

  • These girls really know what they are talking about! You were lucky, your plane was found by humans. I posted this video here in another blog as well but i think it's priceless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQfOtFSNZ18. He got into trouble under the powerline and had to do an emergency landing in cow-land! He couldn't get so easily because he was hunted down by one bull on the meadow.

    So long,

    That's the most interesting FPV video I've seen in a long time.  That girl really knows her stuff.

    And great idea to take a sheep-counting photo!

  • excelent, 'cause you never know who is reading your blogs.........

    Ron, the camera is a kodak ZX-1.  I believe it is no longer produced.  I picked it up in a sale for 50 euro.

    Ellison, no, I didn't get their numbers :-)  But they live nearby.  

    To make up to the old lady for calling here an old bat, I will offer her to make a photo of the meadow with the sheep, so she can count them while they are standing still!  She will be rejoiced to finally know how many sheep there are!

  • except for that GPS tracer thing...

  • Excellent posting. what camera are you using. Excellent audio. And a good picture as well. Cheers to the girls. They sound very bright...I would have considered taking it home with me too...;)

  • Good way to pick up girls. Did you get their numbers? :-)

    My Twinstar engine stopped during Autonomous mode at the furtherst point away from home. I only found out afetr the plane returned.  MatrixPilot had managed to compensate for the one engine, simply because when off course, it put in proportionally more aileron and rudder. I was very pleased to know that loss of one engine still allowed the auto pilot to bring the plane home. Since then, I've switched from brushed to brushless engines.
