This is my learning quad and my first build. Appreciate any and all advice, criticism, sarcastic comments, etc.
HK S500 with a Mobius 2-axis Gimbal.
Flight purpose was to test and tune 2-axis Mobius gimbal. Winds were gusting around 10 miles per hour intermittently. This is the 4th flight with gimbal. Not sure what caused it to lose power at the end. Both self tightening props on port side spun off when engines stopped abruptly. Battery had more than 70% of power left.
Damage was very light. Broken retract lading gear on starboard side (what broke most of the fall) and a couple plastic stakeouts that supported gimbal.
