went out to take a flight today and got the fc 40 a bit out to far and was hard to see it and when I tried to bring her closer she stopped responding and so i flipped the switch to fail safe and i could see it go in to a hover then it started going away from me intill I could not see it any more and now shes gone. :-( I had all my green lights and every thing before I took off and in till she took off she was flying great. Now it was its last flight and only its second real flight out side of the back yard.
UPDATE I went out to try and see if there was any hope of even finding my phantom again after the fly away today. I rode my bike around all over the general direction of were it was last seen heading and could not find it and decided it was never going to be seen again and started heading him and I seen a guy a few blocks away out working in his yard and want going to bother him but decided he its worth a shot to ask him if he was out side earlier and happened to of seen any thing fly by his way. and he says. was it like a little white helicopter?" Then says ya it landed in the yard next door a little while ago and points to it. lol lol and there she was just parked on the side walk and it made a perfect landing only it was 5 blocks from home. I got it home and hooked up the naza software and i seen I had my fail safe settings wrong and some how it was switched to just land instead of a safe land were it goes up to 20 meters then home. BUT I was able to get the entire flight on the video and its really cool to see it fly around then make a perfect touch down in the yard and it even some how avoided some trees and some roof tops to. and to top it off I found it just a few minutes before it started to rain which I'm sure would not of been to cool if it got rained on.
I'm elated to of gotten it back and the video to. I really thought she was a goner.
