Wow!! I have not been here in a while. This forum has grown!! Nice!!!
After my recent "almost crashed" experience, I felt compelled to share. I was just going up for a little flying around my sister-in-law's neighborhood. I should have known something was going to happen because when I took off, I had 8 satellites but as I was going up I saw one red blink and I noticed on my screen I was down to 6. I kept going up and then it jumped to 12 so I felt confident. I flew around for a while without any issues but during my landing (about 6:40) it suddenly went crazy. It scared the @#$% out me and after a few movements of the sticks and gaining control which basically meant avoiding flying into a tree and geting some altitude, I was able to bring her back down for a somewhat bumpy landing. During the craziness, I did notice on my screen that I was down two 4 satellites. This loss of GPS signals definitely reaffirms my belief that I will not be flying in "manual" mode.....ever!!! LOL!!! Enjoy the video.
