Wed's morning I decided to try a long run as it was a little cool and very little wind . I go to my spot that I do them at and everything seems right ..blinking light in tracker check HL from out about 100' and she came back to me so off I go .
Got out over 7000' and start to lose FPV which I have hit over 8000' there so I took screenshot and put it in HL and started back but never got FPV back which was strange .
I HLed back at the same time as descending slowly with the wind at her back I thought all was cool as it has always been .
I decided to put it in RTH and see if I could get app back to working and could not .
Never panicked but just waited till I knew it was not good :shock:
Tried calling tracker but it never text me back .
Not sure what happened but when it hit the ground it ether knocked the tracker battery out or went down in water. I used the Find my Phantom feature and that's where the dot on map is which is a few hundred yards behind the farmers house in a wide open field . So that's where I lost contact .
I have been for the last 3 days over every part of that line and no bird
I hate it as I have put in a lot of time modding this one and was just very fond of it . I have bounced it ,lost it and then found it and had it changed into a V3 but am glad I hadn't put the RPG on it yet !!
Called and tried to find a P2V V3 and they just don't exist . Can add all the stuff to make one though and am already getting prices as I plan on having another one real soon !
This one might turn up from one of the farmers finding it and calling but just not real sure just what the hell happened .
I did know flying like this at long ranges at some time this could happen but it just make me sick !
They screenshot is right when FPV was starting to cut in and out and looking at the battery % I did have enough to get back as this was not my first trip there .
