Sorry no actual video of the crash because the video on the SD card is corrupt. That is the only thing I am actually mad about.
P3P with 1.4 FW and a boosted fpvlr antenna.
I am flying out 1600 feet to go around this water tower (never flown around a water tower before). I get1200 ft out and start to lose signal but it comes back. I am at 160 ft elevation. The area is wooded. I get to the back of the tower and complete lose signal. I keep the stick in the same direction in hope I will regain signal on the other side. Didn't think to go up also at that time. Anyways, no signal comes back and I get a return to home which I cancel and then I see what is on the second video.
What could have been the cause of loss of signal.
I don't know if you can see it in the video but the tower has radio type equipment on to and on the sides could this have cause it or is it just because I was too low going around a giant steel ball filled with water?
I am concerned about the loss of signal before the tower and wondering if that was 1.4 FW related.
Also should have had the RTH set higher it was at 50m. Live and learn.
I did get it back it was by the tower which was surrounded by a huge barbed wire fence.
Time to rebuild!!!
This is the video off of the ipad.
