Hello Everyone,
Here is my first flight I made with my GoPro Hero3 video camera attached. I wish I had my FPV in place but at least I am able to take aerial photos; that is until 6:52 minutes into the flight when I was gradually descending for a landing and then something went wrong. I do not know what caused it to fail and tumble to the ground so I am hoping someone can provide some logical explanation and direction for me to to explore and prevent it from occurring again.
Damaged: Number 3 leg broke in half, number five leg is fine but it broke at the connection at top board. LIPO was through about 5 feet from where the craft landed. Some of the outside plastic shrink-wrap tore off but the battery seemed to be fine (no swelling or gouges).
This is my setup:
A F550 with standard motors, Naza-M with GPS running on 8" DJI props powered by a Turnigy 4S 4000mAh LIPO. My radio is a Spektrum DX8 (I know I should consider a Futaba but no money).
Weather Conditions:
The air temperature in Georgia United States was 38 degrees with a 9 to 12 MPH wind and the time was about 3 PM.
