I am making a slow motion video of the American Flag for my youtube channel. Perhaps i accidentally descended or the wind blew the flag higher than expected. I had been flying back and forth on this line over 5 minutes before the flag decided to eat the P4! Thank God the remote told me it switched to ATTI mode so i could just concentrate on the throttle when i was right side up.

Wow. Buy a lottery ticket!! You got lucky there for sure.

Nice recovery though.

I've done some close up flag work and moving into the flag was always my big worry.

Hope you stood to attention with your hand over your heart and started singing the Star Spangled Banner when you landed....
 
Ha, I'll be getting that ticket, definitely had a lot of luck on my side!

Man, i literally did salute the flag :) then a quick hysterical laugh and land to assess the bird.

Very lucky here! Nice footage too!

Although the flag didn't knock your bird out of the sky completely, I am very surprised at the quick recovery your Phantom made when it fell down a bit. That was sheer luck and many people have been in similar situations where the craft has come crashing down to the sky.

Safe flying! [emoji1]
