Shooter FPV Flight Log 090917 - Video TX FAIL!
Only got to fly 1 brick (battery) this time out. Towards the end of the first run, I took it high, too far and lost video and control. I have been asked what happens when you lose contact with the wee bird... this happens. You go for a hike and hopefully its not in a tree.
Found it with the help of a beeper... If you don't fly with a beeper, you're an idiot.
Second flight I discovered that the video signal was, at first weak, and then non existent. Only choice I had was to kill it and let it fall. Must have been at least 50 feet up. Battery smashed through back plate. The culprit; severed video tx antea from previous smash. Parts have been ordered.
