Sorry but you posted first time here asking for monetary donation for your own noob's mistake? Not some kind of scam? That's just not on. I have reported to the mod to delete this thread.

At the time of this post, Urness is only $875 away from his goal of $875.But, it's so entertainingYou don't think anyone is actually going to donate, do you?
Don't know what is more unabashed: after a "few flights" testing the four mile range - something reserved for only a VERY experienced pilot or whining about it and setting up a --- wait for it --- a GoFundMe page for your own stupidity?
Took some serious balls to pull this -- when I looked there was zip -- as it should be.

Even if he's being 100% truthful, it's still a scam...
As an attorney, maybe he should sue the municipality that owns the beach for it being to windy? More likely that he wins that case than anyone donating to his "lost" cause.
This happens every once in a while. I see it on fpvlab and rcgroups from time to time. The last one a guy decided that, in addition to his full time job, he wanted to pursue an aerial photography career, so he wanted everyone to buy an inspire for him. It was quite amusing.
So let me get this straight. You are an idiot and you want us to help buy you a new mavic so you can lie to your wife? Why not man up and tell your wife how much of an idiot you really are and that because of that you dropped a grand in the ocean. I'm sure she is aware that your an idiot but just let her know YOU know as well. I have better thug to donate to. God luck idiot!
He should sell the controller and that way he only has to tell his wife he dumped $800 in the ocean
I'm curious to how much airtime this guy's had before he bought a big gun. I mean, I flew POV for two years before buying a P3A. And I really appreciated the difference in how to fly. I think the hype around the Mavic (or the P series for that matter) is such that beginners don't understand the phrase "point of no return". Unfortunately, our friend learned the meaning of that just a tad too late.
Consider this an expensive lesson and move on.....(and get insurance!...it's out there)

You're kidding right? I have a conquer amplified antenna on my Phantom 4 and the best I can do is about 2.5 miles before I get a message to return to home. It is not a signal issue, but a battery issue. If I flew 4 miles out in the Atlantic, there is no way I could RTH. If I'm not mistaken my Phantom 4 has a longer battery life than your Mavic. I went to your video all I saw was you telling the story no video of the flight. But seriously you did a go fund me to get others to pay for your Mavic? Really?
I have 20/15 vision and lose mine at about 3700 ft (7/10 of a mile). At that point, I'm straining my eyes so much that I start seeing floaters which, of course, makes it even harder to see.
We should cut the guy a break for the accident. Most of us did really dumb things in the first few days; it's hard to understand the consequences of our actions because there really isn't any other hobby like drone flying where you can cause so much damage without ever getting out of your seat. He really is lucky his first mistake only cost him his Mavic.
The lack of accountability to his wife and the GoFundMe page though...wow. Ridicule away on those.

I am a very new Phantom 3S pilot and I have a lot of trouble believing your story and I wanted you to know that. With what we now know about you, the issue of possibly brainless is dead. Your willingness to disregard most if not all contexts of logic in this matter is nothing short of idiotic behavior in light of your education. Ergo, this post is a farce and waste of my time as I am looking for genuinely sincere information on this great hobby.
